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 Fifteen Minutes

Things could have been devastating for Unique FC without that goal from Dave because right now, the referee's whistle pierced through the air with that high-pitched sound for the third time to finally bring the second to an end.

"There's the whistle, it's supposed to be over but it's not over, Unique FC managed to get that equalizer and now they'll go into extra time," Jim commented as the players slowly made their way down the tunnel.

"Well, this has been something, Unique FC did everything they could possibly think of in this half but all they were able to get out of it was that wonderful free-kick goal from Dave which kept them in the game." Steve articulated. "The goalkeeper saved them once again just like he came on at the last minute to do against Dynamo FC but this time around it won't really matter unless they win this match."
