PLAY-OFF SEMI FINAL: FIRST LEG (MK DONS VS BRAFORD CITY) PART 2 

Halftime Team Talk

Jake walked into the dressing room, his face calm but intense. The players took their seats, their breathing still heavy from the first half.

The match was 0-0, but Bradford had created better chances. They had MK Dons figured out—they just hadn't punished them yet.

Jake took a slow breath, his eyes moving across the room, locking onto each player.

"We're halfway there. But we need more."

Silence. The players listened closely.

He pointed to Carter and Lowe.

"You two are doing great breaking up their midfield, but don't let them dictate the tempo. Keep them uncomfortable."

Then, to Silva and Collins.

"You've got their full-backs beat. Every single time. Stay aggressive. Take them on. No hesitation."

He turned to Thompson.

"You've battled hard, but I need you to hold the ball up better. Keep their center-backs occupied. Draw them out."

Finally, to the entire squad.
