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.

First Attempts

Just like always, Norman was using the four-three-three C formation, and today, he made sure he had all his starting players on the pitch except for Carlos who had to sit on the bench for Merino to start.

It was always a hassle on who was going to start between these two as they both had their good qualities which were always needed in a match.

Carlos had the speed to quickly zoom past the left back and create chances but he wasn't that good with shooting, he was also able to produce good dribbles although he wasn't as good as Merino.

Merino wasn't as fast as Carlos with the ball on his feet but he didn't really need that to get past the defenders, he had very good ball control that allowed him to dribble efficiently, he's way more decisive when it comes to shots and somehow he manages to get into good positions to take care of rebounds near the edge of the opponent's box.

In conclusion, Carlos was way more technical and that's why he was considered more of a playmaker.
