Arne Slot may admire Conor Bradley’s two goals in seven minutes after switching roles.

Conor Bradley’s rise continued on Tuesday night, with two goals in seven minutes for Northern Ireland, after taking on an intriguing new role for his country.

In an interview with the Belfast Telegraph, Bradley reflected on the previous season and stated, “All my dreams came true in the past 12 months.”

After returning from a breakout loan at Bolton, the youthful right-back made 23 games, 17 of which were starts, scoring his first senior goal and assisting six times.

His excellent run continued this week, as he scored both goals in Northern Ireland’s 2-0 triumph over Andorra, winning the match in just seven minutes.

Bradley had already caused havoc in the third minute with his usual sprint and cross, with the ball eventually landing for a well-saved effort.

The kid then put his side ahead 1-0 with a fantastic run across goal to tap home Callum Marshall’s cross at the front post.

Seven minutes later, the ball broke for Jamal Lewis on the left wing, and after the former Liverpool target’s ball evaded two clearances, it fell for Bradley to convert with a diving header.

Northern Ireland dominated a side ranked 91 places lower in FIFA’s world rankings, but were unable to add to Bradley’s brace.

Liverpool’s No. 84 was their strongest threat throughout, playing in a more advanced role on the right side that allowed him to overlap, with at least twice as many touches in the opposition’s area as any other player, according to FotMob (eight).

Bradley’s two goals saw him move into positions more suited to a central striker, and Arne Slot was undoubtedly drawn to his attacking flair.

Slot joins the club faced with finding a role for both Bradley and Trent Alexander-Arnold, with the Northern Irishman’s breakthrough potentially allowing the No. 66 to move into midfield full-time.

On Tuesday, Diogo Jota and Caoimhin Kelleher squared battle as Portugal defeated the Republic of Ireland 3-0 in their penultimate friendly before the Euros.

Kelleher began his second of two post-season friendlies, but was defeated three times, including a Cristiano Ronaldo strike set up by Jota.

Jota is not expected to start Portugal’s Group F opener against the Czech Republic on Tuesday night, but the 27-year-old has made an impression in the buildup, scoring and assisting in two 45-minute appearances.
