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.

High Expectations

Mateo had gone straight to bed just after having his dinner and it didn't even take him up to a minute to fall deep into his sleep.

Dave on the other hand was still lying on his bed staring at the ceiling and waiting for sleep to take over.

It didn't take long before he had also fallen asleep and just five minutes into his sleep, he found himself in the endless white space with Catherine standing a little distance away from him.

"Hey, Cat." He said after getting close to her.

"You've completed your long-range shot training, it's time to get back to what we were doing." She said,

"I don't think completed is the right word to use but you're right, I have mastered it to some extent so yeah, it's time to return to focus training." He said.

"Okay," Catherine said before the area began to change until he was standing on his goal line with both of the balls at the edge of the box and before he knew it, one of the balls was shot out toward him.
