Chapter 184: Rising Together
November 20th, 2010
The celebration didn't end on the pitch.
Back in the locker room, the players were still buzzing with energy.
They laughed, cheered, and hugged each other, their jerseys soaked with sweat, their faces glowing with pride.
Everyone was tired, but no one wanted the moment to end.
Coach Niels stood quietly, watching his team with a proud smile. He didn't have to say anything they all knew what this win meant.
It wasn't just about the score.
It was about heart, teamwork, and believing in each other especially after all the training.
Crawley had proved something tonight.
They were no longer the underdogs.
They were ready for whatever came next.
There would be tougher matches ahead, bigger challenges.
But tonight, they had proved they could rise to the occasion.
And that belief? It was powerful.
