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.

"And there you have it, the first half has come to a conclusion," Jim commented as soon as the referee had blown his whistle to mark the end of the second half.

"Unique FC had been the better side so far based on possession and gameplay but a little mistake was all that was needed to put them one goal behind," Steve said.

The match stats on the large screen now showed that Unique FC had sixty percent of the ball after the first half while Ronino FC had forty.

They had played seven shots and got two on target while Ronino FC had played five shots and got two on target.

The hosts were leading in the number of passes and passing accuracy but leading in all these stats didn't exactly matter as they were one goal behind.

The players from both teams were making their way down the tunnel.

Dave had stopped at the sideline to look up toward Emma, the two had immediately established eye contact as she smiled at him and gave him a nod of encouragement.
