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.

Odd Substitution

With eighty-seven minutes on the clock now, the ball finally went out for a throw-in against Dynamo FC and now it was time for Dave to make his appearance in the match.

The goalkeeper was already dressed and was standing beside the official with the board.

"Looks like it's finally time for Dave to join his teammates on the pitch with just two minutes of normal playing time left," Jim commented. "I wonder how much this will be able to change for Unique FC."

The official raised the board to show the number one in green and the number thirty-two in red.

Alexander knew that was his clue to start making his way out of the pitch.

The young goalkeeper received applause from a few of the fans but it wasn't really anything special.

However, he still had a bright smile on his face as he made his way to Dave, and the two shared a hug before Dave made his way into the pitch and began to jog toward the goalpost.
