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.

Group Stage Hope

That would have been a great second goal for Unique FC but Merino was caught offside and that meant that the goal wasn't going to stand.

Unique FC players obviously weren't happy with that decision and they could be seen trying to convince the referee to do something about the decision or go check VAR at least, but it didn't look like the referee was going to do any of that.

"Some referees wouldn't have noticed given the fact that Merino was offside just by millimeters. That said, he was indeed offside and that was the right call from the referee." Jim expressed.

<Well, that goal would have given you guys a little bit of breathing space>

'Yeah, I thought that was a goal for sure.' Dave said subconsciously.

The match continued with Villarreal doing everything they could to try and get a goal, but getting past Unique FC's defense wasn't an easy thing for them.
