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.

Quite The Opposite

"I don't care what anyone thinks, I know Unique FC are for the title race this season, their team has been completely refined and best of all, Dave Richards is now a formidable rock covering the goalpost every time he steps on the middle of the line."

Dave was watching the sports segment with a smile on his face but he was also feeling a bit uneasy.

"I just hope we can meet your expectations, it will be cruel to disappoint after putting so much faith in us." He muttered.

He brought his phone up to his view to see that the time was 7:00 PM.

'She's supposed to be back by now.'

Just as that thought left her mind, he heard three knocks come from the door.

He slowly got up from the couch and made his way to the door and after getting there, he opened the door to find Emma standing there.

"Hey." She said with a smile on her face.

"Hey," Dave said.
