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.

Pay Back

That goal from Dave was just what the team needed to boost their confidence and the same could be said about the fans who were loudly chanting the name of the goalkeeper as he made his way back to his goalpost.

"Another free-kick goal for Dave, when was the last time we witnessed a goalkeeper with so much precision, Unique FC have gems in their squad, they have everything it takes to win this game." Jim articulated.

"But anyway, that's his fourth free kick goal out of seven tries, he has only really failed to score from a free kick twice, the other one was an assist." Steve expressed. "At the moment, he's the best free-kick taker in this team, I think he's taken enough free kicks to establish that."

'Looks like we need one more goal now to seal this, Cat.' The goalkeeper said subconsciously after getting to his goalpost.

<It's not going to be that easy, remember you still have to stop yourself from conceding and considering you conceded three goals last time>
