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 Nuisance

The match had entered the twentieth minute now and so far Unique FC were the ones bossing the match.

Their string of passes was neat and organized, keeping Eibar from touching the ball while slowly advancing toward their goalpost.

They were playing well but they had not been able to get any good chances as they seemed to get choked up anytime they entered their opponent's box.

They had managed to get three shots which were all off-target including the first shot from Dave.

Eibar on the other hand had not been able to fire any shot at their opponent's goalpost, they hadn't even had the ball long enough to do it.

Martinez received the ball from Roland and ran through the middle to cover the free ground and just before clashing with an Eibar player, he turned to the right and passed the ball to Frankie.

"Frankie."

Frankie moved forward with the ball a little, dragging two players with him, and just before they could make contact with him, he passed the ball to Martinez.
