My Goalkeeping System

What is worse than being the worst team in the world? For Dave Richards that was a very easy but heartbreaking question to answer, a goalkeeper who performed poorly between the sticks, he was still available as a first-choice goalkeeper because Unique FC didn't have any other goalkeeper. He was slow on his feet, couldn't jump properly and worst of all, he didn't know how to hold the ball properly. The only way that Unique FC was able to survive taking in a massive goal-fest sometimes was because of the extra effort they put in their defence. After a terrible match in which Dave wasn't able to make any saves and also made a lot of mistakes, he was seriously scolded by the managerial staff and almost received a beating from his angry teammates. He got home sad and also angry at all those who told him he looked like his grandfather and would therefore inherit his goalkeeping skills. He discovered a hidden door below his room and when he got down there the only thing he could see was a black box. He found the box to be quite familiar and when he opened it the last thing he saw was a bright white light when the light was gone he could see something in his field of vision. [ Welcome Dave ] [ You have activated the Goalkeeping system ] A female voice read out the messages. This is a story about how an ordinary man who didn't know his place between the sticks went from nothing to pro and beyond that.

A Certain Level Of Control

After saving that penalty kick from Kim, he was less nervous about penalty kicks but facing a penalty kick against someone like Fernandez would sure get him riled up but given the fact that this was happening in his dream, he wasn't exactly feeling any pressure and in fact, He felt a little confident that he could stop Fernandez from scoring.

The referee blew his whistle as Fernandez slowly took three steps backward before racing toward the ball.

He sent it flying toward the left side while Dave dived toward the right side.

"Oh, Dave's gone the wrong way and that's a goal!" Jim exclaimed as Fernandez raced toward the sidelines to do a knee slide with his teammates quickly heading toward him and the crowd screaming in joy.

"Sometimes I can't help but feel surprised by how real a dream can feel," Dave said as he looked around the full stadium with his hands on his waist.
