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.

Better Than Her Brother

Dave was getting dressed in his room when Clark popped up at the door with an apple in his hand.

"Are you here to ask me those questions?" Dave asked before picking up the red polo shirt on the bed.

"Yeah, but let's talk about work first," Clark said before walking closer to him. "I looked into both clubs, the players that are going to be out of contract and the players that are going to get sold potentially and it turns out none of their first-choice goalkeepers will be leaving."

"So, they just want me as a backup goalkeeper." The goalkeeper said.

"Definitely," Clark said.

"I knew that was going to be the case with Manchester United, Patti Moreno was one of the top goalkeepers in Europe last season and he's just twenty-six years old, there's no way I'm going to bench him."

"Yeah, and although Villareal's number one Gerrad Puado just turned thirty-one, he's still performing well and it's going to take a while before you start ahead of him," Clark said.
