Before the match, many media outlets predicted that Bradford would perform terribly, and so did their supporters. Even York City’s coach, Luis Kaliba, confidently stated that his team would win against Bradford City:"A team that was lucky not to be relegated st season will have a hard time beating us. With so many new pyers, it’ll be difficult for them to gel. I’m confused by Manager Reinhart’s decisions."
But Reinhart remained calm as he looked at his pyers."Today, we’re facing a team from a league below us. Be confident. Those of you who believe in me will understand—look at how people out there see us as failures."The pyers stayed silent, because everything Reinhart said was true. In the midst of that silence, Reinhart spoke again:"But believe me, you are the pyers I’ve chosen. You are special."The pyers clenched their fists at those words. They looked at Reinhart with full confidence and hope."Destroy every opponent. Now, let’s go prove ourselves."With those words, Reinhart walked off, followed by his pyers walking proudly behind him.
The roar of the crowd is loud today, with around 10,000 supporters in attendance—not to support, but to watch Bradford lose.
"Alright, let’s announce the starting lineups for both teams.""Bradford will be using a 4-3-3 formation."
"Starting with Bradford, the goalkeeper will be veteran Mark Johnson.""Mark will be supported by four pyers in defense, starting from the left wing-back position filled by Lucas Lecir. Center backs are Condrad and Thomas Rhield. On the right wing-back position—wow—Mike Lankshear, an academy pyer, is making his debut!""Already, just from the defense, we can see that only Condrad and Mark are returning pyers."
"In midfield, two pyers will act as anchors in the DMF positions: Ismael Boukari and Iron Lhen.""In the AMF position, we have another young pyer, Lucien Ito.""Then in the front line, from the left we have Duvant, in the center is Alvez—the goal-shy striker—and on the right, Koji Yamane."
"Next, on the York City side, they’re using a 4-4-2 formation.""In goal is Amir Tielson.""In defense, from left to right: Luca Verano, Kaiser, Ilyas Collum, and Tiago Varo.""In midfield: Luiz Aspena, Bologni, Tom Justin, and Jesse Camara.""In attack, the League 3 top scorer, Leon Fisher, a talented young striker who’s worlds apart from Alvez, who couldn’t even score a single goal. Alongside him is shadow striker and top assist provider, Michele Albob."
"And without further ado, the pre-season match between Bradford City and York City officially kicks off!"
