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.

Team Errors

The rays from the sun shone brightly into the room and just a few seconds after the rays got to his face, Dave slowly opened his eyes.

He turned his gaze to Emma who had her arms wrapped around him, he could feel the tingling feeling of her breathing against his neck as she was still fast asleep.

<Good morning, Dave>

'Good morning, Catherine.'

<I'm guessing you're not going to do any of your morning exercises today>

'Uh...maybe.'

He turned his gaze to the ceiling before turning it back to Emma who was still sleeping peacefully in his arms.

It didn't take long before she made a little movement and slowly opened her eyes.

"Dave." She said, blinking her eyes a couple of times. "Good morning." She said with a bright smile on her face.

"Good morning," Dave said. "Hope you slept well?"

"I did, you?"

"I'll always sleep well with you by my side." He said before kissing her. "Season's over which means no training today and that means we can finally sleep in today."
