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.

Poor Defense

"He's one on one!" Jim screamed.

Mateo ran straight toward the goalkeeper who was already coming out to try and stop him and that was just what he needed, as soon as the goalkeeper was off his line he lobbed it toward the top right-hand corner.

"Mateo!!"

The goalkeeper jumped up trying to get a hand to it but his efforts proved futile as the ball went over him and bounced on the line before falling into the goalpost.

"Goalllll!!!!" Jim screamed as the guest fans broke into cheers and chants.

Mateo ran to the side screaming and then did a slide with his whole body before his teammates got to him and began to fall on his body.

"It's that Dave and Mateo combination again, we saw it last week in the match against Spree United, and we're seeing it again today," Jim said.

"What were they thinking leaving their back line open like that?" Steve asked.
