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.

Interesting Second Half?

The first half came to an end with Unique FC still leading two goals to nothing and the statistics board had a lot to say on how much dominance they had in the first half.

To start things off, they had seventy-one percent ball possession while the home side managed to retain the ball for what could only amount to twenty-nine percent possession.

Unique FC were able to unleash twelve shots with seven of them being on target while their opponents were able to fire shots toward their goalpost five times with just one of those shots being on target.

The away side attempted five hundred and fifty-five passes with five hundred and forty-nine of those passes being successful while the home side attempted two hundred and eighty-seven passes with two hundred and sixty-four of those being accurate.

With all these stats along with the scoreline, it wouldn't be an overstatement to say that Ronino FC got bullied by Unique FC in the first half.
