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 Effects

Mateo missing that penalty was a big relief for S.S. Lazio, there would have certainly been a drop in morale to a certain level if that ball had gone in.

Their coach was screaming from the sidelines now, urging them to take things seriously.

"That penalty miss may be something that might come back to haunt them later, that's his first penalty miss of the season having only taken five," Jim commented.

"It may come back to haunt them, but Lazio will have to be sleek to make that happen and so far, they haven't really done anything crazy to upset the home team, they may still have a few more cards up their sleeves so let's wait and see." Steve articulated.

The match continued with Lazio moving the ball around trying to outsmart Unique FC and then hit them where it hurts.

By this time in their last match, they had already tried a lot of shots which ended up failing.
