Slovakia v Northern Ireland: Conor Bradley has ‘full belief’ in his side’s World Cup bid

Bradley, one of five players in the Northern Ireland squad to feature in the Premier League this season, comes into the international window off the back of a testing week in Liverpool colours.
He excelled in keeping Vinicius Jr quiet in their 1-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League last week before being tasked with containing Jeremy Doku in the Premier League loss to Manchester City on Sunday.
Bradley believes such challenges have him well prepared for such key games for his country.
“Two completely different players. Obviously, Vinicius was tough because of his speed, his skill and things like that. Doku has speed and skill as well, but also he was really strong,” he said.
“It’s been a really difficult week, but I think playing against top players really stands you in good stead for the future especially.
“I love coming up against the best. I fully enjoyed it and hopefully it can keep me in good stead for this week coming up.”
