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.

I'm Not Done Yet

The match was set to kick off by 8:00 PM and the time was nigh.

The big screen hanging over the area was showing the time to be 7:20 PM as the players from both teams kept warming up on the pitch.

"How about this one?" Mateo said before he sent the ball flying toward the left side of the goalpost.

Dave dived toward the ball but he seemed to be a bit late and wouldn't be able to get to it, he would have still saved it if he had used his ball magnet but he just decided to let it through.

"Your instincts and reaction are really sharp and quick, you've chased every single one of my balls no matter how tricky I tried to make them and you ended up saving almost half of them," Mateo said as he walked closer to him. "I don't care what anyone else says but you're currently in the top ten of the world's best goalkeepers."

"Thanks, Mateo, I hope that will happen someday," Dave replied.
