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.

Not Looking Bright

This was the worst start Unique FC has had to any game since the start of this season, going behind in the first minute of the game from an own goal.

It was a pretty rough start but since it was just the start of the game, they still had ample time to get back into it.

Playing with this formation in a training session and a real match just like the one they were in now were two different things.

No matter how hard anyone tried to recreate the feelings of being in a real match in a training session, it was always going to remain a training session.

The competitiveness might be there but feelings like the frustration from conceding a goal, the unending strive to win, and the joy from having the fans cheer them on only existed in a real match and those things were one of the main factors that affected how a team was going to perform.
