and the Winning Goal CHAPTER 18 THE NEXT MORNING the boys sat together at breakfast. TJ didn’t feel hungry, and he could see that no one else did either. They were looking around the room at the other teams, who all seemed to be having a great time. ‘Hey,’ said Miss Berry, arriving with the girls, ‘why all the long faces? We’re here. We’re in the Regional Tournament. Cheer up!’ ‘Miss Berry’s right,’ said Mr Wood. ‘And you have to eat. You’ve got a long day ahead of you. A very long day if you make it all the way to the final.’ ‘There’s no chance of that,’ said TJ. ‘There are lots of kids here who play for Academies. They play for big clubs. None of them are nervous like we are.’ ‘Oh no?’ said Mr Wood. ‘I can tell you, TJ, that plenty of people make a lot of noise when they’re feeling nervous. You lot are as good as any of them and I don’t even have to see them play to know that. After all, you’ve been coached by me, and they haven’t.’ There was a moment’s silence, and then they all started to laugh.
