Second Half –
Jake stood at the edge of the technical area, arms folded, watching as his team jogged back onto the pitch.
The first half had been a battle, but now, it was time to take control.
Bradford had held their own against Neymar's Santos. Now, they needed to push for more.
50' –
Jake's halftime talk had sunk in. Bradford came out sharper, pressing higher, suffocating Santos' midfield.
Ibáñez and Vélez were relentless in the center, harassing Felipe Jonatan and Dodi, forcing misplaced passes.
Silva tracked back, helping Richards double-team Neymar whenever he drifted inside.
Barnes barked instructions at the back, keeping the defensive line tight.
Santos started to look unsettled.
Bradford were in control now.
54' –
The crowd buzzed with anticipation every time Bardghji touched the ball.
And this time, he wasn't looking to pass.
The Swedish wonderkid received the ball wide on the right, immediately squaring up his defender.
