After the goal, the roar of Bradford supporters echoed throughout the stadium.They chanted the pyers’ names and showered them with praise.
Lucien calmly looked toward the crowd, waving his hand. Suddenly, Duvant leapt onto him from behind.Lucien and Duvant — a unique combination of two wildly contrasting personalities — yet their synergy on the field was terrifying.
“Wooow Lucien hahaha, that’s your first goal! You better thank me for that amazing assist,” said Duvant confidently, lifting his head high and puffing his chest out.
Lucien found it amusing. For some reason, he felt close to Duvant. And Duvant, in turn, understood him deeply on the pitch.Seeing Duvant like that, Lucien smiled and simply replied, “Thanks.”
“Hehh, of course,” Duvant beamed with pride for his friend’s first goal.Other pyers, like Matias and Ismael, also rushed over to Lucien to celebrate.
[Commentator 2]:“I... I still can’t believe it. What did we just witness? These kids just tore apart York’s defense like maestros!”
[Commentator 1]:“Duvant — with that insane movement and a no-look pass that made no sense — that’s not just talent. That’s... art!”
[Camera cuts to Bradford’s bench]The young pyers jumped up from their seats, overjoyed. McNeil and Malcolm hugged each other and screamed.
[Commentator 2]:“One thing’s for sure — the Bradford era isn’t crumbling tonight. Maybe... it’s just beginning.”
AFTER LUCIEN’S GOAL – 38th MINUTE[Commentator 1]:“I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! LUCIEN ITO JUST OPENED THE GAME WITH A FANTASTIC GOAL! AND NOW... WAIT... WHAT WAS THAT?!”
[Camera focuses on the Bradford touchline]Reinhart, the young and often-doubted coach, was standing tall, giving sharp instructions. His hand signaled something familiar to tactical observers.
[Commentator 2, stunned]:“...that’s a new formation! 4-2-2-2?! IS THIS ANOTHER EXPERIMENT? OR... HAS THIS BEEN THE PLAN ALL ALONG?!”
The Bradford pyers quickly adjusted their positions.Lucien Ito now moved slightly forward, just behind Alvez, pying as a second striker.
Koji Yamane and Duvant spread wide as inverted wingers.
Iron Lhen and Ismael Boukari remained as the double pivot — the backbone of both defense and creative passing.
[Commentator 1]:“This change... is shutting York City down. Their midfield’s cracking. They’re running out of gas — especially on the wings! Their early pressure is turning against them!”
43rd MINUTE – THE MADNESS BEGINSOnce again, the ball is at Ismael Boukari’s feet. This time, he doesn’t waste it — instead, he passes it back to Iron Lhen.Iron spots Duvant’s movement on the left fnk.He sends a lofted ball over Jesse Camara’s head.
Duvant leaps and controls the ball with his heel, then bursts forward!
[Commentator 2 – half screaming]:“AGAIN?! WHAT IS THIS KID DOING NOW?!”
Luca Verano, York’s left-back, sprints to close him down. But Duvant already has a pn.
At full speed, DUVANT PULLS OFF A DOUBLE STEP-OVER, then—
NUTMEG!!!He slips the ball right through Verano’s legs!The stadium explodes!
[Commentator 1]:“NUTMEG ON VERANO!! HE JUST HUMILIATED THE VETERAN DEFENDER!!”
Now Duvant is at the edge of the box, left side. Kaiser comes in to close him down.Duvant fakes a move to the left — then calmly stops the ball.As Kaiser shifts to block left—
DUVANT SPINS WITH A MARSEILLE TURN TO THE RIGHT!
[Commentator 2]:“WHAT?! A MARSEILLE TURN!!”
Now a clear shooting ne opens up.Duvant takes a deep breath and curls a right-footed finesse shot — bending toward the top right corner.
The ball flies… like an arrow. Sharp curve. And—
BOOM!!!
[Commentator 1 – yelling into the mic]:“GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! DUVAAAAAAANT!!! ARE WE WATCHING THE BIRTH OF A NEW STAR?!!!”
[Camera catches fan reactions – some drop their popcorn, others hold their heads in disbelief]
“Wooow did you see that? I just scored a spectacur goal!” Duvant shouted proudly, running toward the stands, followed by his teammates.“You saw that, Lucien? Wasn’t it beautiful? I’ll teach you how to do it! Hahaha.” He threw an arm around Lucien.It looked rough, but Lucien seemed genuinely happy.
[Commentator 2 – ughing in awe]:“I… I need oxygen. Duvant just embarrassed York’s defense with a move they don’t even teach in academies!”
[Score: Bradford City 2 – 0 York City]
Meanwhile, on the sideline, Reinhart just smiled slightly and gnced toward the bench.Matias, usually the quiet one, stood up and clenched his fist.
[Commentator 1, calmly]:“If this is an experiment... then it’s not a failed one. This is a revolution.”
[INJURY TIME – FIRST HALF – 45+2 MINUTES]
Time was almost up. York City tried to build an attack, but their mentality was shaken. Their passing became erratic, and their stamina had drastically dropped.Ismael intercepted the ball again and immediately sent a short pass to Iron Lhen, who turned and quickly switched py to the right side…
Koji Yamane received the ball with the outside of his foot—perfect control.[Commentator 1]:“Koji… Yamane… SUCH A CALM CONTROL! Look how he holds the ball!”
With moderate speed, Koji dribbled forward, performed a double step-over to trick Jesse Camara, and then faced York’s remaining left-back—Tiago Varo.Without hesitation, Koji cut inside, then suddenly shifted direction outward with a body feint that sent Varo crashing to the ground.[Commentator 2 – gleefully panicking]:“HE’S BEATEN!! KOJI JUST BROKE THROUGH YORK’S LEFT DEFENSE!!”
Now, he was the only one left on the right wing.Koji lifted the ball—A HARD CROSS INTO THE BOX!!But—AMIR TIELSON, York’s goalkeeper, jumped and BLOCKED the ball mid-air!
The ball deflected to the right, bouncing wildly, knee-high… all the pyers froze for a split second.York’s center-backs—Kaiser and Ilyas Collum—failed to read the ball’s direction.Even Matias, who was nearby, reacted just a split second too te.But then...
[Commentator 1 – voice rising]:“WAIT… THAT’S LUCIEN!!!”
Like a shadow emerging from the mist, Lucien suddenly burst into the penalty box from a blind spot.With one perfect touch, he controlled the ball——and with the composure of a cold-blooded assassin, he struck a left-footed shot piercing sharply into the bottom left corner of York’s goal.[Commentator 2 – nearly screaming]:“GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!! LUCIEN ITO AGAIN!!! IS THIS A DREAM?!”
[Score: Bradford City 3 – 0 York City]
The stadium erupted.Some York fans colpsed into their seats in disbelief.Reinhart, still calm, turned to his assistant and quietly said,“The pn is flowing with the rhythm.”
Meanwhile, chaos broke out on the York bench. Luis Kaliba was furious and shouted,“WHAT ARE YOU DOING, LOSING TO THESE KIDS?!”
In the middle of the field, Lucien stood still... just staring into the camera.His gaze was sharp. No wild celebration.Just the calmness of a young man who knows—this is only the beginning.
[Commentator 1]:“This kid… he’s not just talented. He’s cold. He’s mysterious. AND HE’S HAUNTING YORK TONIGHT.”
[The whistle blows – END OF FIRST HALF]
