BRADFORD VS STOKE CITY

July 26th, 2024 – Preseason Match 4

King Saud University Stadium, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Bradford's final test before heading back to England.

The loss to Lens had been a harsh lesson, but this was the moment to respond.

They weren't just playing to win.

They were playing to make a statement.

Pre-Match – 

The air inside the dressing room was tense but focused. The players sat on the benches, some lacing up their boots, others stretching, all waiting for Jake Wilson to speak.

He stood at the front, hands in his pockets, scanning the room. This wasn't about motivation.

They already knew what was at stake.

They had dominated Lens but walked away with nothing. That wasn't happening again.

Jake let the silence settle before speaking.

"We learned. We move on. Now we show what we're made of."

His tone was calm, controlled, but with an edge of expectation.
