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.

Down One More

Unique FC players were all in the locker room now with Norman standing over them with his arms crossed.

He had an uneasy look on his face as he kept tapping his right foot on the floor.

"You guys started the match on a good note then you just started slipping off in the last minutes. Was that penalty really all it took to demoralize you?"

His voice swept through the room in all its fierceness and none of the players dared say a word.

<He's furious>

'And it's understandable, I guess.'

"Now listen up all of you, they're really strong, I know that, but we can't lose here. If it comes down to it then we're just going to grab an equalizer and back the bus, we'll be better off with a draw than a loss then we can think of something in the second leg.

That was the foundation of Norman's plan for the second half, score the equalizer and park the bus.
