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.

Unfair Decision

Darwin took three steps backward and looked up to make eye contact with the ball before he quickly leaped toward the ball and sent it flying toward the bottom right side while Dave dived toward the left side of the goalpost.

"He's sent the keeper the wrong way!"

As soon as the ball rolled into the back of the net, Darwin took off toward the corner kick spot as his teammates chased him from behind and the fans burst out with screams of joy.

"What would you expect from a dead ball specialist?!" Jim exclaimed. "He's put his team in front."

Dave had a frustrated look on his face as he picked up the ball and kicked it into the pitch.

"Unique FC took the lead early on in the first half and now they are one goal behind after a well-taken penalty kick from Darwin to extend his perfect penalty record this season," Steve said.
