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.

My Goalkeeping System

"The last time we did this focus training, you had both Ciro Martinez and Kyle Pellegrini shooting at me from the edge of the box and told me to save the one with a green crystal on it, that was pretty intense if you ask me," Dave said, looking around the empty pitch.


"Yeah and still you weren't able to get the hang of it, that's sad because we're moving to the intense version anyway," Catherine said.


"That first one was pretty intense if you ask and if this one is going to be worse than it, it should be termed as extra intense, but with that said, I'll have to see it first before I can make my final judgment." The goalkeeper expressed.


"That's fine by me." Catherine before the goalpost popped up behind him with him standing on the goal line.


He wasn't putting on his gloves before but they were on his hands now.


As soon as everything was set, Catherine vanished as two balls appeared apart from each other twenty yards away from the goalpost.
