Match Begins: Bradford City vs Bolton WanderersJuly 20, 2025University of Bradford Stadium – 20,000 Roaring Fans
Amid the cheers stood a man in a bck suit, fnked by his two assistants. Reinhart remained calm, scanning his pyers before speaking in a firm tone:
"Our opponents today are no pushovers. Prove yourselves here. This is a team we might face in the promotion race. No hesitation—under my leadership, there’s only one path: victory."
Every Bradford pyer locked eyes with Reinhart, pride evident in their expressions.
"Let the show begin." With that, Reinhart walked off, his pyers following.
[Commentator 1]:"Welcome to what promises to be an electrifying preseason csh! Bradford City, fresh off demolishing York City with their lightning-fast attacks and dismantling Gillingham with mesmerizing tiki-taka, are back in action today. They’re lining up in a 3-5-2 formation. Mark retains his spot in goal, with Conrad Walsh, Tomas Rhield, and Tom Shield forming the back three. Lucas Lecir holds the left fnk, while Mike Lankshear takes the right. In midfield, Eden Mirza orchestrates alongside Ismael and Iron Lhen. Up front, the deadly duo of Duvant and Lucien are ready to terrorize Bolton’s defense!"
[Commentator 2 – Martin Cross]:"Bolton Wanderers are no slouches either! They’re deploying an aggressive 4-3-3, with Oliver Maddison in goal. Their backline consists of Nathan Doyle, Davids, Daniel Graves, and Rafael Agustin. In midfield, 29-year-old maestro Ronald Clement pulls the strings—a brilliant tempo-setter who’ll test Bradford’s midfield to the limit! Supporting him are Callum Frost and Leon Myles. Up front, Leo Langley, Vincent Odoh, and Jaxon lead the charge."
"Without further dey, the preseason csh between Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers is underway!"

[Commentator 2]:"Look at their pressing! Every Bradford pyer on the ball is swarmed by two or three Bolton pyers!"
Bradford struggles. Eden and Ismael are overwhelmed by Ronald Clement’s intensity.
Reinhart murmurs, "So that’s how he operates." He watches as Clement dictates the tempo, exploiting the right fnk—Mike Lankshear’s zone.

Conrad’s voice booms: "Stay strong! We can do this! Mike, stay calm—I’ve got your back! Lucas, rex, you’re not alone!"
Mike, visibly rattled, sps his cheeks and mutters, "I can do this."
As the veterans rally, Bradford’s geniuses begin plotting their counter.
Eden wipes sweat off his brow, grinning. "I want the coach’s praise... What should I do?"
Duvant gnces at Lucien. "Found it yet?""Not yet," Lucien replies coldly.
Duvant knows—when Lucien is silent, the monster within is fully awake.
[Commentator 2]:"THREE dangerous shots in the first 12 minutes! Brutal pressure!"

[Commentator 1]:"A terrifying run from Lucien! OHHH—one-on-one! WILL THIS BE THE OPENING GOAL?! Wait—Nathan’s chasing him!"
Five meters from the box, Lucien cuts right—just as Duvant screams:
"WATCH YOUR BACK!"
Lucien leaps sideways—Nathan’s reckless tackle misses by inches!
Conrad, Malcolm, McNeil, and even Reinhart are furious. The crowd boos Nathan’s dangerous challenge.
[Commentator 2]:"What Nathan did was insane! He could’ve ended Lucien’s career—thankfully, Lucien dodged in time!"
Nathan passes to Clement, who surges forward. Conrad, still furious over the foul, tackles Clement—earning a yellow.
Bolton free-kick, 25 meters out!

Mark is still grounded. Conrad, Thomas, and Tom are too slow to react.
Only one pyer runs in to respond—A young man who’s made countless mistakes.Whose fnk has been relentlessly targeted.The pyer who was constantly cheered on by Conrad.A young man rarely mentioned…
