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.

In It Together

The ball came flying toward the goalpost from thirty yards out, there wasn't much elevation as the ball was heading toward the bottom right side of the goalpost.

Dave dived toward the ball and with both of his hands formed into fists, he punched the ball out before it could fly into the goalpost.

The shot had been played by Minino who was jogging his way to him now.

"Nice save." The midfielder said just as he got closer to him.

"Thanks," Dave said, adjusting his gloves.

"Hey, Dave, Minino, think fast."

The two quickly turned to the side to see the ball from Mateo heading toward them from above.

The first thing Minino's instinct had told him was to jump up and put the ball into the back of the net with his head while Dave's instinct had told him to jump up and hit the ball out as he was in a really good position to get to the ball before Minino, he was off his goal line.
