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.

"The first change that I am going to be talking about is our formation. I stayed up all night studying Lesica United's playing style and I have discovered what makes them deadly attacking-wise besides Okafor's individual efforts," Norman said.

"And what is that?" Adolf asked.

"They attack mainly down the wings and make it look like the wings are their main attacking options and then all of a sudden, they switch and turn the center their main attacking option knocking their opponents off guard so that before they can reposition themselves and defend, they have already done what they wanted to do and Okafor just makes things worse," Norman explained while trying to give the players a better understanding by illustrating with the board and the plastic dots.

"Okay, so what formation and style do you think we can beat them with?"

"I was coming to that, but you should bear in mind that we have never used this formation in a match but we've tried it out once." The coach said.
