Antoni Sarcevic is dreaming of another night to remember when Bradford City host Notts County, nearly a year after his last memorable victory over the Magpies.
Memories of success fuel Sarcevic’s ambition
The 32-year-old midfielder has fond memories of scoring in Stockport County’s title-clinching 5-2 victory over Notts County last season. Tonight, he’s hoping to produce similar heroics at a bouncing University of Bradford Stadium as the Bantams continue their push for success.
“Morecambe at home was to get promoted and then we went to Notts away to win the title. I set up a few and scored myself. I am getting on a bit now and these are the games I want to play in and remember. When I saw the atmosphere against Crewe, I was gutted because I thought, ‘this is why I signed for this club – to play in these atmospheres.’ I just can’t wait.”
Sarcevic made his return from injury against Swindon and is pushing for a starting place in what could be a pivotal clash under the lights. Having seen first-hand the incredible atmosphere at Valley Parade during the Crewe match, he is determined to experience it from the pitch rather than the sidelines.
Family excitement grows for crucial games
There’s even a family battle at home, with Sarcevic admitting his eldest son is desperate to attend tonight’s game. However, mindful of the late kick-off, Sarcevic has sensibly promised him a trip to the upcoming Fleetwood fixture instead.
The midfielder’s passion for nights like these is clear. After battling injury setbacks, he is eager to seize the moments that come with playing for a club with the size and expectation of Bradford City. Having joined City with the aim of securing another promotion on his decorated CV, he believes that winning promotion at Valley Parade would be among his career’s finest moments.
With promotion dreams alive and big crowds expected, Sarcevic’s hunger could make all the difference as City seek to finish the season strongly and give their fans a night to savour once again.
Site opinion
Having a figure like Sarcevic back in the squad at this crucial stage is a huge boost for Bradford City. His big-game experience and genuine passion for these occasions will be vital as pressure mounts. If he can inspire another victory tonight, the Bantams’ promotion push could gather serious momentum just when it matters most.
