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.

How?

It had only been five minutes since the match began and so far, there had been no shots on the goalkeeper's goalpost as his teammates were still with the ball.

'I just hope we have a better defense here,' Dave thought.

'It's your world, you can make the defense better.' He heard Catherine say in his mind.

'I know, but it wouldn't make any sense if I make the defense strong enough to stop their deadly attacks, that wouldn't be fun for me.'

'And not only that, you wouldn't be able to get the point that I want you to get from the match.' Catherine said.

Dave didn't reply immediately as the match continued.

The ball was played to Mateo from Ferran but before Mateo could do anything, someone closed up on him from behind and muscled him off the ball.

"Oh, Kovatic has taken the ball from him," Jim said.

Kovatic raced down the right wing with the ball before passing it to the central midfielder in the middle.
