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.

Taking It Back Immediately

Andy was standing over the ball now with his gaze on the ball while Dave was standing on his goal line.

Most goalkeepers would be jumping on their goal line while trying to get into the head of the penalty kick taker but Dave wasn't really good with the whole getting into someone's head that most goalkeepers do although he should be.

With all the players out of the box now, the referee blew his whistle.

After hearing the whistle, Andy stared at the ball for a few more seconds before he slowly raised his head and took two steps backward.

'You know I would really appreciate a few tips in situations like this.'

<Well, you should have asked earlier>

Andy quickly closed up on the ball and sent it flying toward the left side of the goalpost from below while Dave dived toward the right side of the goalpost.

"It's in! They've finally gotten that equalizer! What a finish from Andy!"

"He sent Dave the wrong way," Steve commented.

<As I said, you should have asked earlier>
