Mias POV:
'I want you to look out for three things, attitude, teamwork and composure.' I Said. They nodded eagerly.
'They need to be able to keep control of themselves, if something happens in the crowd, it cannot be seen to negatively effect them on the pitch, why?' I asked

'Because it will portray them to be short tempered and can effect the rest of their career. It will be heavily shown in the press too.' Said Anna.
'Well done.' I Smiled.
She definitely had it in her. I left them for abit whilst they were reviewing the game.  We made the boys make some mistakes on purpose, just to see how much our coaches pick up. I sat back down next to my three follow arounds as the game was ending.
'Hey babe.' Said Jesse grabbing my shoulders. I jumped.
'You scared me.' I laughed.
'Hey guys.' He smiled to the three coaches I was with.
'Hey.' They shyly Said Back.

'Why are you here?' I Asked.
'Got nothing else to do.' He said sitting behind me and putting his legs around my body. 
'Where's my brother?' I asked.
Jess pointed to the other side of the pitch, where my brother was talking to a few of his Tottenham teammates and Pogba.
'Ah, it's Paul.' I Said.
'Yeah, you know him?' He Asked.
I nodded.
'I met him a few years ago and we were kinda close friends, I've not seen him since I got back from La though.' I Replied.
The game ended and Gareth called my coaches over. They passed me their clipboards.
'Thank you, I'll look at them now for you.' I smiled as they walked away.

'What's this?' Jess asked looking over my shoulder.
'We got them to watch and evaluate a match, and we made some fake mistakes and arguments happen on the pitch to see what they wrote down.'
He nodded.
'What so they can go and whoop their ass like you do with us whenever we do anything wrong?' He Laughed.
'Basically yeah.' I Replied.

Anna's was first. She marked down everything and also wrote what she would do to resolve it, including what she would say. Nobody else did that. 'She's good.' I Said pointing to Anna.

Noah had gotten every single one of the problems but couldn't think of resolutions for everything. Either that or he ran out of time. But as a coach you need to think on your feet. I would still give him a chance.
Mason was clueless. I think the thought was there but it was all unrealistic and I didn't believe that at the moment he had what it takes.

'Next stage Anna and Noah, Mason doesn't have it.' I Said shaking my head. Jesse pulled me up off the floor and linked hands with mine. He took himself over to speak to the players whilst I spoke to Gareth.
'How many of yours are you keeping for the next stage?' He Asked.
'Two out of three, Anna is absolutely amazing, and Noah was also really good. Mason hasn't got it at the moment.' I Said shaking my head.  He took notes and smiled at me.
He walked over to tell them the news.

A few minutes later Mason walked towards me.
'Thank you so much for this experience.' He Said shaking my hand.
'Oh don't worry about it, your better than most it's just tough, you just need a touch up that's all.' I Smiled.
He nodded.
'You've taught me a lot, I'll be back next year.' He Said saluting and walking towards the exit. 

@MasonAnderson: thank you so much @MiaA for all that you have given me today. You are such an inspiring woman and just being in your presence  has helped me so much already. Thank you for freely passing on your skills and knowledge to every single one of us. We love you endlessly. P.s. I believe you. I know you were in the right with Dylan. Your great ❤️

I smiled and looked up from my phone.
'They believe me.' I Said to my brother grabbing his arm.
'I know they would.' He smiled back.
