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.

Already Behind

It was quite absurd for Norman to not start any of his top chance creators who could step up in tough moments to score difficult match-winning goals.

The two were currently the team's leading top contributors with Mateo having a total of twelve goals and ten assists to make up for twenty goal contributions and Ferran having a total of fifteen assists plus eight goals to make up for twenty-three goal contributions.

<Well, he did say he was doing it to prevent injuries>

'I am aware of that but Mateo was benched in the last match and we almost lost it because of that, why not bench Ferran just like he said and start Mateo? Why bench both of them?' Dave replied. 'You won't be able to blame injuries when you lose a match because you decided to bench your best players who are clearly fit for the match.'

<Maybe he has a plan, you just have to watch and see what he's up to>

'I just hope you're right about him having a plan and I hope it's not a plan that is guaranteed to fail.'
