Connor Bradley is today’s groom.
Arnie Slot said after the Liverpool-Real Madrid match that Bradley had played excellently.
Because no player can face Vinicius multiple times and come out on top.
So why did Bradley play so perfectly today?
Let me tell you the story.
The young man in front of you holding the ball is Connor Bradley, Liverpool’s defender.
When he was five years old, he joined a team called “Ajarin” and played a game called “Gaelic football” with them.
It’s a popular game in Ireland. So what is this game?
Gaelic football is a combination of soccer and rugby. It’s a game full of running, and you’re allowed to hold the ball in your hands, pass it, and score.
If the ball goes into the net, you get three points, and if it goes over the crossbar, you get one point.
The great thing is that Bradley was playing this game at the time and was playing strong games with it at the Vin Valley club.
Bradley’s coaches at the time saw that he was not worried about any opponent, no matter how talented they were!
Imagine that Liverpool scouts traveled to Ireland to watch Bradley play.
They were convinced by his talent and personality and decided to sign him without charging them a penny!
So don’t be surprised by Bradley’s performance in Liverpool’s matches, which will be full of running, physicality,
and quick reactions, like today’s match against Real Madrid, because that’s the kind of game Bradley has been used to playing since he was a kid in Gaelic football!
From Gaelic football to Liverpool and a perfect performance against Real Madrid.

Liverpool fans must applaud this man!
Liverpool played their best game of the season today, without a doubt. Arne Slot knew very well that Real Madrid did not have a playmaker to organize their attack
or a striker to rely on, so he put high pressure on them and forced them to pass the ball back to Courtois, who only played long balls to Van Dijk and Konate!
When he decided to slow down the pace and ease off the pressure, the whole team dropped back to defend in the first third.
There was no such thing as a defensive player. Real Madrid was suffocated on the wings by Salah, Bradley, and Gravenberch covering them.
Likewise, Firth, Robertson, and McAllister covered them, and Spozola protected the boundaries of his penalty area!
Liverpool could have achieved a historic result today if it weren’t for Courtois, who was the main reason the score ended with only one goal!
Connor Bradley is almost as good as Real Madrid’s Modric, but he doesn’t play like him.
Last season, he put Mbappé in his pocket and made him lose confidence in himself, standing in the tunnel saying, “Where am I and what am I doing here?!”
Today, Vinicius cut the ball nine times in 90 minutes, won eight duels, caused a warning, and made three successful dribbles.
Bradley returns to Slut’s calculations and Arnold’s world-class performance.
A performance worthy of a statue, Bradley.
Who’s going to talk about this genius and give him his due today?
No one gave him his due last season, when he dominated the whole of England.
Slot Qasad Al-Real taught a lesson in the literal meaning of the words “domination” and “control,” and not only confirmed that he is a great coach
He confirmed his genius and imposed his style on Real Madrid itself, which Klopp did not know how to win with Barnold, Mané, and Salah!
Arne played the most beautiful match of the season, coming on as a substitute and causing chaos in the Santiago Bernabéu itself, while Alonso sat for 75 minutes not knowing how to deal with him.
Slot decided to put pressure on Chaumeni and close down the passing angles on Bellingham and Kamavinga.
This forced Courtois to play long balls, which were then intercepted by Van Dijk and Konate, with Subo and Elster getting the second ball!
He closed down Bradley and prevented Salah from getting deep, preferring to close down Carrasco!
Marca said on behalf of Alonso that he would not train at Anfield under the lenses of 200 cameras so that the plan would not be revealed!
But he almost forgot to change any details in the Clásico match plan and played with it as it was, not realizing that the match was being broadcast on regular television!
Slot applied his plan to El Clásico and asked his players to press hard and aggressively on Mbappé and Vinicius and to close down the spaces completely with a very compact formation between the lines.
When in possession, he laughed at Chaumeneau, who was positioned behind him, and wore him down with fouls and warnings, leaving him stranded on his right and left.
He pinned Valverde in his place through Vertonghen and returned as a midfielder through Robertson’s advance.
Saib Ikhtiqi took advantage of his speed and skill between Militao and Heusin.
Even Bradley advanced with the ball so that Vinicius could complete with him and move away from dangerous areas.
Okay, what about defense?
The whole team is back, no messing around, close lines, Alister Subo, Ryan Salah, and Vertz are working hard in the middle…
Robertson locks down Guler and no one sees him, and Bradley does the same with Fini…
Okay, what if the ball is with Courtois?
Press him and close down the passing angles, he’ll lose the ball and Van Dijk will come out and take it!
Slot played a legendary match, legendary, and will go down in the textbooks.
