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.

We Did It

'I don't know, should I play it short, long, or go for goal?' Dave was panicking in his mind with the ball trapped under his feet.

<You have only one minute left before it's over, a short pass won't do any good, going for goal isn't a good option either as your shot power isn't that great and shot accuracy will be really off in a situation>

'So, you're saying.'

<Yes, go for long ball, find a teammate and offload the ball to him!> Catherine screamed in his head.

The goalkeeper quickly scanned the box and found the right place to send the ball and just before the players could get to him, he sent the ball flying into the box.

"He's sending into the box."

There were a lot of players in the box with two different purposes in mind, to get the ball in the net or out of the area.

The first player miscalculated the ball and had it flying past him and now it was just between Adolf and a Lesica United defender.

Adolf got his head to the ball before the player pushed him off.
