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.

Unexpected Welcome

The storm didn't seem to be slowing down at Frono as all the people were locked up inside waiting for it to calm down a bit and that included Dave who was still sitting in one of the seats in Footy Wears' reception area.

He had been quiet for about three minutes with his phone placed against his ear.

"Okay." He muttered before he ended the call and slowly brought his phone down.

There was no doubt about his cheerful mood getting distorted as his face looked a bit gloomy now.

<She didn't sound that upset>

'But she's upset, she just doesn't want to take it out on me over the phone.'

It took about an hour and some minutes before the rain began to slow down and because of that, people slowly began to fill up the streets again but Dave wasn't in a haste to leave.

He raised his watch to his view to see that the time was 5:53 PM before he slowly got up from the seat.
