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 Hit A Rock

That third goal from Duncan was the final nail in the coffin for Unique FC.

They tried really hard after that goal to get back into the game but despite everything Norman planned for the second half, their opponents just had them figured out.

Every counterattack they tried to pull off failed and the same could be said for the chances they managed to get.

Despite being tightly marked, Mateo was able to get a couple of okay chances but they just weren't his type of chances, and with all the pressure and marking he ended up missing them.

Dave also tried a couple of things from his goalpost but Lyon's goalkeeper made sure to stay in his goal line whenever the ball was sent back to the goalkeeper or whenever he had the ball.

During this period, Lyon could have gotten one or two more goals but Unique FC's defense got tougher for them after that third goal and even when they managed to slip through the cracks, Dave was there to make sure.
