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.

"That one was smooth." The goalkeeper muttered before turning to the balls behind him.

'I just have to get the ball in the net four more times with seven balls remaining, that's definitely going to work.'

He rolled another ball to the spot before slowly taking four steps backward.

After that, he quickly raced toward the ball and sent it flying toward the goalpost but this time, his attempt to reduce the elevation had gone wrong as the ball was sent flying toward the goalpost with high elevation.

The ball was moving toward the goalpost from the middle and it looked like it was just going to hit the crossbar and fly over but the opposite happened as the ball hit the crossbar and bounced on the goal line before rolling into the goalpost.

"Just three more to go now with six balls left." He said with a smile on his face.

The next ball was also sent flying high as Dave had once again failed to control his elevation.
