The next morning, the world of League 2 was shaken. Not just by the result of the match, but by how the victory was achieved. In a short time, the names of Bradford’s young pyers became the hot topic on television, radio, and front-page articles. Many called st night’s match the beginning of a new era.
On the front page of The Daily Ball, a massive headline took up half the page:
"Rise from the East: Bradford Destroys York 6–0"
The article began with a sharp and awe-filled sentence:
"When Bradford supporters filled the stands with little hope, who would have thought they’d go home with a story to tell their grandchildren? With a young, inexperienced squad, Bradford didn’t just win — they dismantled York with a crushing six-goal victory. Amid the cheers, ughter, and jubition, one name now echoes louder than ever: Reinhart."
In one opinion column, senior journalist George Hentley wrote with admiration yet maintained a critical tone:
"Young talent can emerge anywhere. But what makes Bradford different is how those talents are refined into deadly weapons. Lucien, Eden, Harry, and Duvant didn’t just py well — they pyed like veterans. Yet beyond the spotlight on them, the shadow of their coach became another focus. Reinhart, with his nearly unreadable tactics, humiliated York not only as opponents but as a system."
Meanwhile, the official statement from York’s coach, Luis Kaliba, spread widely and became a hot topic across sports news stations. In the post-match press conference, with a tired yet honest expression, he admitted:
"We were completely defeated. Not just in terms of the score, but in gamepy. Bradford's youngsters were outstanding. But what made it even harder was their coach’s strategy. Honestly, I couldn’t read their gamepy direction. I felt small compared to Reinhart tonight."
The praise didn’t come from just one side. On social media, while many supported and praised Bradford’s stunning performance, there were also skeptical voices. On fan discussion forums, comments filled the screens like a raging river:
“We’re witnessing the birth of a golden generation.”“Those kids pyed without fear. Lucien might not say a word on camera, but his feet spoke the entire match.”“Kaliba was too conservative. He wasn’t ready for Reinhart’s flexibility.”“It’s still too early. Let’s see them against stronger teams.”
Amid the emotional commentary and blind praise, an in-depth analysis emerged from a social media account named @GeniusTactic — a user known among football fans as an independent analyst with sharp and precise insights.
"What we witnessed wasn’t just a football match. This was a brutal experiment that succeeded. Bradford fielded many young pyers in their squad. Yet they pyed optimally. Starting from Matias, who wasn’t very visible but always served as a decoy, allowing Duvant to move freely. Then there’s Lucien..."
"Beyond the individual brilliance, the most haunting aspect of this match was Reinhart’s tactical structure — like a living puzzle. He started the game with an attacking 4-3-3 formation. However, only the right fnk, with Mike and Koji, was active for the first 30 minutes. Then, after scoring, they shifted to a 4-2-2-2 and pressed York's left wing, where most of Bradford’s pyers had conserved their stamina. After taking a strong lead, they switched to a 5-2-2-1, but with constantly shifting roles. Pyers like Harry Shalked are still technically raw, but Reinhart turned that into a weapon: wild pressing, chaos on the left, and explosive counterattacks. Even unready pyers became part of the terror scheme he designed."
"But the key to victory remained with their trio: Eden–Lucien–Duvant. Eden understood Lucien’s vision like a mirror. They didn’t need many words — just one gnce, and Eden knew where the ball needed to go. Eden’s goal in the 60th minute is proof of urban instinct and rare technical brilliance for a pyer his age."
"This match wasn’t just a 6–0 victory. It was a decration of war by an architect who has long stayed silent. And if other teams don’t prepare soon, Reinhart and his young devils will rewrite the league’s power map."
That commentary spread quickly, retweeted and quoted by various football accounts across all ptforms. Many praised the depth of analysis. Some even called it the most accurate reaction to the match.
In Bradford’s locker room, Reinhart sat on his simple chair, looking at his phone screen without much expression. He read the comment slowly, letting it settle in his mind. Then, without saying a word, he put the phone down, sipped the tea Casandra brought him, and returned to studying strategy for the next match.
July 14, 2025Bradford's second pre-season match against Gillingham at Priestfield StadiumA stadium with a capacity of around 11,000. Today, the roar of Gillingham fans echoed loudly. Gillingham is also in a good position, having defeated a League 1 team in their previous friendly with a score of 2–1.
Their confidence is bolstered by a high-profile new signing: Bruno Vera (23), a star from Athletico Paranaense, a Brazilian League 2 club. In the previous match, he tore apart Sheffield Wednesday’s defense, earning Man of the Match with a score of 8.0, contributing 1 goal and 1 assist.
On the other hand, Bradford is also undergoing a significant transformation. In the previous match — even against a League 3 team — they still delivered an outstanding performance. Lucien Ito was named MOTM with a score of 8.1. There was a slightly funny moment when he froze during an interview due to his low social skills. Fortunately, Duvant stepped in to repce him.
The sky above Kent was gray, but the spirit of Gillingham fans was bzing. Loud cheers echoed from the stands packed with over ten thousand home supporters. Today, Priestfield Stadium became a sea of blue and white that shook the air.
Amid those cheers stood the young coach Reinhart, watching his pyers. “Let’s begin,” he said, and the pyers followed behind him. He also gnced over and checked the status of Gillingham’s pyers, especially Bruno Vera.

After analyzing the opposing team’s stats, nothing truly stood out — except for Bruno. He stood out because some of his attributes were nearly maxed out. However, Reinhart’s mind froze when he looked at Gillingham’s bench and saw a pyer who shocked him.
