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.

Keep Hoping

The day Unique FC were going to battle it against West Ham United in the Wondanimo stadium was just a few hours away, and because of that, the players had gone back to training.

They had a training session on Wednesday morning and they were still at it.

On one side, there were a couple of players busy playing rondo, and on the other side, there was Dave who had Fredinho trying out his shots on him.

The striker had the ball placed twenty-five yards away from the goalpost while Dave was jumping up and down on his line.

"I'm pretty sure you won't be able to stop this one!" Fredinho yelled as he quickly closed up on the ball and fired it toward the goalpost.

The ball was sent flying toward the top left-hand side of the goalpost with great force, but that was no problem for Dave.

[ Thrust activated ]

He sprang up toward the ball as soon as that skill was activated, and with his left glove, he punched the ball over the bar.
