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.

Deciphering The Patterns

After missing that first shot, the goalkeeper had not taken another shot as he was busy studying the goalposts which were popping out in different places.

They had a pattern of movement and it looked like he had just deciphered the code.

He waited for the first goalpost to pop up before he quickly rolled the ball toward it but just before the ball could roll into the post, it went back into the ground.

'Nice move, Dave.'

He wasn't after that one, he was after the one that would pop up directly behind it as soon as that one.

His timing was accurate as the goalpost popped up at the right time for the ball to roll into it.

"One down." He said with a smile on his face.

'Smart move, Dave, that goalpost won't be popping up again which means you have nine more to deal with.' Catherine said in his subconscious mind. 'You've taken one down, which means the pattern is going to change.'
