Football Academy: The Real Thing by Tom Palmer (author) (UK edition)

United’s under-twelves are in Poland for a tournament! Goalie Tomasz is thrilled to be playing in his home country, but team captain Ryan thinks Poland are rubbish. In fact, he thinks everything Polish is rubbish, and he’s not afraid to tell everyone so. With Ryan’s behaviour causing trouble on and off the pitch, can Ryan and Tomasz tackle their differences before United’s chances are ruined? This gripping tale of football and growing up is winning stuff from a Blue Peter Award nominee.
