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.

Unpleasant Ending To The First Half

The clock was showing forty minutes now and yet the score was still even as none of the sides had been able to penetrate their opponent's defenses and strike a deadly blow.

They've been finding the gaps on their opponent's sides but their finishing had not been good enough.

Okafor had been trying his outside-the-box shots whenever he found the space but two of them had flown over the bar while one which had been shot directly at Dave was an easy catch for the goalkeeper.

Unique FC had also gotten their chances, two chances to be precise.

The first chance was a low cross into the box from Roland, Merino had gotten hold of the ball at the other end and could have easily put it away at the bottom right-hand corner of the goal post but he was a bit off balance when he got the ball so his shot had gone wild but it came really close to hitting the crossbar at least.
