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.

At Camp Nou

The evening training session was over now and the players were back to their rooms to get some rest and look for something fun to do for those that wanted to do something fun.

As for Dave and Mateo, they were both in their rooms but Mateo was sitting on his bed with both of his legs placed on the small table beside his bed, which was an indicator that he was going to leave the room soon.

"How do you see tomorrow's match playing out?" The goalkeeper asked.

"I don't know exactly, it's going to be a tough match, a really tough one but we'll try our best, beating them is going to be hard so we should try and get the first goal and then enter a defensive mode." The winger articulated.

"I don't think getting the first goal is going to be easy," Dave said.

"I never said it was going to be easy." The winger said before getting up from his bed.

"Going to play FIFA?"

"Yeah, just for a few minutes, I'll be back." He said before quickly making his way out of the room.
