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.

Nice Pass

"Twelve crucial saves and an assist," Dave muttered just as he got to his goal line.

'Looks like there's going to be a lot of shots in this match, either that or the system just overestimated them.'

The match was about to kick off now as Fredinho could be seen standing over the ball in the kick-off spot.

Norman was starting the match with his default four-three-three formation and just like he said after their training session on Thursday, the only changes in the lineup was Frankie starting ahead of Martinez and Pirlo starting ahead of Aima.

Lyon on the other hand were also starting with the four-three-three formation but the reverse of their version which meant that they had just one attacking midfielder up front and two defensive midfielders.

"Both teams are going all out here, no one's ready to pull their punches," Jim commented.

"Well, in these kinds of matches, it's best not to do that to avoid any mistakes you might end up not being able to correct." Steve articulated.
