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.

I'm Not Mad At You

With the press conference now over, it was time for Dave to start heading back to his house but at the moment, he was having a conversation with Norman as the both of them made their way to the exit.

"Alright then, see you tomorrow," Norman said before turning and walking back inside.

Dave opened the door and looked straight to his car to see that there was someone waiting for him there.

Emma had her back against his car and turned his gaze toward the stadium entrance as soon as he stepped out of the building.

"Hey," Dave said as soon as he got closer to her.

"Hey." She said,

"Do you want me to give you a ride?" He asked before reaching for the door but Emma quickly used her body to cover the door and stopped him from opening it. "What's going on?"

"I should be the one asking that question." She said, "Since today you've been acting differently."

"Different in what sense?" Dave asked.
