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.

One Man Down: Does It Make A Difference?

"Things aren't looking good for Unique FC here."

Just seven minutes after that goal from Fred, Ronino FC slowly walked their way into Unique FC's goalpost.

They got stuck at some point and when Zen tried to create something out of his own effort, he was brought down by Aima under a reckless challenge right inside the box.

It would have been okay to just give him a yellow card for that challenge, but the referee wanted to go extreme and that was exactly what he did by showing the defender a straight red card.

Now, Unique FC had to deal with another penalty kick while being one man down.

Zen was clutching onto his right foot the entire time, but as soon as Aima was sent off, he was able to slowly get up from the floor with the help of his teammate, and in no time, he was walking normally again.

'Not this again.' Dave said subconsciously.

He didn't have a pleasant look on his face and the same could be said about his teammates, coach, and the fans.
