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.

End Of The Season Meeting

"Hey, I've already said sorry like six times now," Dave said with his phone placed against his ear as he walked down the road with Clark.

Emma didn't say anything for a while before letting out a deep sigh.

"Okay, so how did it go?" She asked.

"Fine, it went smoothly, I'm now a Footy Wears Athlete." The goalkeeper said. "And they even gave me some cool stuff after everything."

"Yeah, that's how it works," Emma said. "So, you're on your way back now right?"

"Yeah," Dave replied.

"Is Clark still with you?" She asked.

"Yeah, he's still here."

"Okay, tell him I said hi, safe journey, bye." She said before ending the call.

"Bye," Dave said before turning his gaze to Clark. "Emma said hi."

"You should have called her," Clark said.

"I know, I'm not convinced she has let it go." The goalkeeper said before turning his gaze to the road.

Clark spotted a cab heading toward their direction and stopped it for the both of them to hop in.
