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.

Be A Little Cheeky

"Sure, a shirt swap would be nice," Dave said with a nod.

There's no way he was going to say no after receiving so many compliments, but even without the compliments, he didn't have any reason to turn him down since he also wanted the shirt swap.

"Okay," Filip said before he quickly removed his shirt, and in return, Dave did the same.

They were supposed to shake hands and walk away at this point but Filip wanted to talk about one more thing.

"So, that shot from the goalpost, you did it twice and almost scored from both, you could have scored from the second if I wasn't fast enough and that would have been really embarrassing, getting scored by a fellow goalkeeper all the way from his goalpost." Filip expressed.

"Yeah, I guess it would have been embarrassing," Dave said as he scratched the back of his head with a nervous smile on his face.

"So, how do you do it?" Filip asked.

"Huh?"
