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.

Out Of It

'Why is this so painful, Catherine? You said it wasn't that serious.'

<I'll assume you've never gotten injured since you started your career, or else you wouldn't be asking this question>

'I've gotten into a few scuffles but none of them had an aftermath that felt like this.'

"Hey, Dave."

The goalkeeper slowly opened his eyes to see Mateo squatting over him with his hand placed on his shoulder.

He was still groaning slowly with his right hand placed on his twisted ankle.

Mateo was boiling inside now, he knew Jonas had done what he did on purpose, that slide was so uncalled for.

"It was just a rondo, not a match where you had to bring down the opponent by all means, and even at that, you got to the ball and still decided to go for his leg." The winger said before shooting a glare at the left back.
