Legendary Godfather

Bradford can reach the EFL Cup final, which is the team's most glorious moment in recent decades.

Everyone celebrates!

Bradford fans treat finals day as their own holiday.

Thousands of Bantam fans flocked to the new Wembley Stadium.

Because the 2012-2013 English League Cup finals will be held here.

The bantam refers to Bradford, and the animal on Bradford's team crest is the bantam.

Rumor has it that a bantam chicken parked on the players' bus on their way to the FA Cup final in 1911, which resulted in the team winning the FA Cup. Fans and club executives believed that bantam brought them luck, so their team's nickname was bantam, and even the team logo had bantam, and even the team's jersey later. Similar to a bantam.

To this day, Bantam is Bradford's nickname and their lucky charm.

Now, hundreds of thousands of people are flocking to the new Wembley Stadium wearing plush bantam costumes.

These people all went to Bradford to cheer!

Today, their club is going to make history again!

Today, their Bradford Football Club will win another championship.

This is the closest their club has come to a top national title since winning the FA Cup in 1911.

The people of Bradford were very excited.

Before that, the Lord of Bradford. Mark Lawn once said very excitedly, "This is the most glorious moment for our club after 1911. This is the most glorious moment for all of us Bantams. I hope the boys on the team can continue to work hard. Winning this championship will bring new honors to the club!”

Lawn is a famous rich man in the UK.

He began cooperating with Bentley in 1983. At its peak, he opened more than 100 branches across the country.

He has been a Bradford fan since he was a child, and has been for more than 40 years now.

In 2007, the Bradford club was in financial crisis and when it was put into administration, he took over the team and assumed Bradford's debts.

So far, he has led Bradford to the English League Cup final, and he has won the support of countless fans.

Many fans now regard him as the club's meritorious coach.

Now his speech can be described as a response to a hundred questions.

Lawn even publicly stated when the Bradford team left Bradford, "If the club wins the League Cup, I will reward the whole team with a bonus of 2.5 million pounds!"

This moment became the most sensational news in Bradford.

Also Jean Brad

Ford's players were so excited that they were all blushing and waiting to go shopping with the Crystal Palace people.

The bonus of 2.5 million pounds is considered a very good bonus for some middle and lower-tier teams in the English Championship and Premier League, let alone the teams in the English Second Division.

At this time, the weekly salary of English League Two players is generally only about 1,000 pounds, and the annual salary is about 50,000 pounds.

If they win the League Cup and receive this bonus, each of them will receive an average bonus of about 10,000 pounds. This is a lot of money for them.

No wonder Bradford's players seemed to be on fire.

The Bradford players chanted, "This time Bradford will win the League Cup!"

And in the view of Bradford head coach Phil Parkinson, Bradford has a great chance of winning the English League Cup this season.

Parkinson is a native of Lancashire, England, and was born as a professional player. He started out in the Southampton youth academy and later played for Bury Football Club and Reading Football Club. He once won the English League Two championship and the Player of the Season.

After retiring, he became a football coach. He served as Alan Pardew's assistant coach at Charlton Athletic in 2007, and then took over Charlton Athletic.

In August 2011, he officially took over Bradford.

His performance in leading the team is pretty good, and he won the League Two Coach of the Month in December 2011. He also led the team to avoid relegation last season.

This season, he led the team to occupy the top spot in the English League Two, and miraculously led the team to defeat Wigan Athletic, Aston Villa and Arsenal in the Premier League and reach the EFL Cup final. His own prestige in Bradford has reached an unprecedented height, becoming the "best coach" in the minds of Bradford fans.

If the team hadn't focused on the League Cup, Bradford would have occupied the top spot in the English League Two.

Parkinson did a great job at Bradford.

Parkinson said in front of media reporters, "Our opponent Crystal Palace is not a Premier League team, and their strength is not very strong. This should be regarded as a weaker opponent in previous EFL Cup finals, which is very important for our preparation." It’s a good thing for Radford.”

Did you see that, after all, they are a team that has defeated Wigan Athletic, Arsenal and Aston Villa one after another. They Xi'an Ai feel like they don't take Crystal Palace seriously.

It’s floating!

Parkinson also said

"Of course, I know that Crystal Palace is still stronger than us. They have good strength, even comparable to the strength of Premier League teams. However, I am very concerned about our Bradford defense. We are confident that we can get away from Wigan Athletic, Arsenal and Aston Villa. We are also superior. If the Crystal Palace people underestimate us, we will have a chance to win this game. victory!"

Parkinson's words made the Bradford fans very excited and excited. They believed what Parkinson said and they also believed that what Parkinson said was very reasonable.

They believe that in the next game, their team can defeat Crystal Palace and win the League Cup.

Even at this time, they were a little impatient to wait.

On the day of the game, countless Bradford fans poured into the new Wembley Stadium. This is like a dream for them. It is simply a miracle that their home team can appear at the new Wembley Stadium and appear in the League Cup final.

incredible!

Even before this, many Bradford fans had never expected to see their home team play at the new Wembley Stadium in their lifetime.

This is simply a dream come true!

After waiting for decades, they actually waited for me.

They are very excited!

According to statistics, more than 30,000 Bradford fans came to the scene today to watch the game. Moreover, there were many Bradford fans outside the stadium who did not ask for votes. I really don’t know how many Bradford fans came to the scene this time.

It can be seen that this team attaches great importance to the five points in this game.

Many Bradford Club executives also came to the scene and entered the boxes in the stands of the new Wembley Stadium. According to the footage from the scene, it was Bradford’s master. Siloun, CEO Julian Rhodes, general manager David Baldwin, manager Roger Irving and others. It can be said that the top management of Bradford Club mobilized the entire army this time, and the scene was very grand.

This shows that they attach great importance to this game.

This is also a rare opportunity for them to appear in front of fans across the country as senior leaders of Bradford Club. Naturally, they all dressed up to attend.

Seeing this lineup, fans of other teams will think it is a bit exaggerated.

But you have to imagine that the last time the Bradford team won such a top national championship was back in 1911. How many years have passed? It has been more than 100 years. That was already in the last century. Something happened.

You have to understand them.

When Lawn and the others entered the box, all the Bradford fans in the audience saw them. These fans stood up one after another and waved to Lawn and the others in the box. The scene was very spectacular.

Sure enough, these Bradford fans are still going to cause trouble!

The game was broadcast live nationally, and Bradford finally showed their face in front of a national audience again.

Even Lawn, who was used to big scenes, felt very excited.

Now his identity is not a top rich man, but a flopping Bradford fan. As an old Bradford fan for more than 40 years, he is really excited and proud to be able to experience and witness the birth of such an honor in his lifetime.

Even, he was so excited that before he came to the box, the group of them went to Bradford's players' locker room.

In the players' locker room, an emotional Lawn directly increased the team's winning bonus by 1 million pounds. He claimed, "If the team wins the League Cup, I will add another 1 million pounds in bonuses, and the total bonus will reach £3.5 million!”

When hearing this, Bradford's players were breathing rapidly, and some guys were even a little out of breath.

Of course, the team's head coach Parkinson was also very excited.

This is undoubtedly the best thing and the best way to boost morale. Look, every one of Bradford's players is like a chicken blood now, and he no longer needs to motivate them before the game.

The military spirit is available!

Parkinson immediately turned to Lawn and said, "Mr. Chairman, don't worry, all our players will go all out and try to show the strength we had when we faced Wigan Athletic, Arsenal and Aston Villa. I believe Our team can really win this game and win the League Cup!"

Lawn immediately said, "It's not about fighting for it, but we must show the strength to face the Premier League team. We must ensure that we win this game and give me the first League Cup championship trophy in the club's history." Take it back. When the time comes, I will celebrate your success at the most luxurious hotel in Bradford!"

The Bradford fans in the dressing room immediately howled with excitement, and even the Crystal Palace players next door could hear it clearly.

Lawn continued, "Come on, boys, I'm waiting for news of your victory!"

The Bradford players shouted loudly, "Mr. Chairman, don't worry, we will go all out to win the championship!"

Lawn was very satisfied and kept nodding. It took a while for them to walk out of the locker room and into the box. Here he was still very excited and full of expectations. Like all the Bradford fans in the audience, he was anxiously waiting for the final to come.
