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.

What A Start To The Match

The players were all in the locker room now pulling off their wet clothes and changing into their training outfits but Mateo didn't like the idea of going out to train under that intense rain.

"Let's go boys, I know some of you don't like the idea of going out there to warm up but Sheffield United players are already out there," Norman said. "This is the only way that we can get used to the condition before the match kicks off."

"Yeah, coach is right, it's quite harsh out there but we're going to have to play under it anywhere, we don't have a choice."

'Yeah, that's right.' Mateo said subconsciously. 'I just wish it wasn't raining.'

The players made their way to the pitch to find Sheffield United players already warming up there but it didn't look like they had been there for a long time.

"Hey, Mateo, why don't you come give me a few long shots?" Dave said after placing his hands on his shoulders.

"Okay." The winger replied.
