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.

Starting The Second Half With A Bang

The players were all in the locker room now with Norman standing in front of them and let's just say that he didn't have a pleased look on his face.

"What the heck happened out there?" He inquired. "You guys are playing like a bunch of Sunday league players, I know they're tough but you're not even trying.

"I know it's just a friendly match but even friendly matches deserve to be taken seriously, especially against a team like this, I don't even know what to say but you all should be thanking Dave, he was the only one who did his job perfectly in this first half, the rest of you were just getting pushed over and stepped on, zero impact on the pitch.

"My midfield is known for controlling the game even when we're losing, but what the heck is going on with you guys today? What happened to your runs and dribbles, Mateo? Have you forgotten how to trap the ball, Fred? And Carlos, it seems like you haven't fully recovered from your injury.
