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.

Matchday Five: Tactics And Formation

"I'm home," Dave said before he pushed the door open and turned on the light in the area.

Emma wasn't in the living room or anywhere else in the area which meant that she was upstairs.

"Hey, babe!" He called before he slowly closed the door and began to make his way toward the staircase.

"Oh, you're back already."

He slowly looked up to see her looking down at him from the top of the staircase and before he could say anything, she quickly made her way downstairs to greet him.

"Welcome." She said after getting close enough to him.

"How are you?" Dave said before slowly placing his hand on her forehead.

"Today was quite hectic but I'm fine now." She replied. "It's a good thing that I got a day off today."

"Yeah."

"So, how was the training session today?" She asked before helping him take off his backpack.

"It was nice, I expected it to be a bit long but it was okay." He replied.

"Well, that's funny." She said before she began to move up the staircase with his backpack.
