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.

Attempting To Create An Iconic Moment

The penalty kick was set to be taken as Maldini stood over the ball with his gaze on it while Dave stood at the center of his goal line with a calm expression on his face.

"I thought the person to take the penalty was going to be either Rivaldo or Nolan but it looks like they're leaving it for Maldini maybe because he's the one that won the penalty," Jim said.

"Yeah, maybe."

<You know focus will be really useful in a situation like this>

'So, I should put myself in that state because of a penalty kick in a friendly match that will only result in an equalizer if it is scored.' The goalkeeper replied. 'No, thank you, I'll try to save it myself, and besides it's just one penalty kick, not a penalty shootout.'

The referee made sure that all the players were out of the box before he slowly made his way into the box from the side and blew his whistle.

"There's the whistle."
