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 ball was quickly sent flying into the eighteen-yard box by Ferran as soon as he heard the referee's whistle but before any of the players could get their heads to the ball, Patti stepped out from his line and jumped up to catch the ball.


"Patti just stepped up to make sure there weren't any mistakes that would lead to the ball falling into his goalpost," Jim said.


"Well, that makes sense given the fact that most of the goals they conceded last season had come through mistakes from corner kicks," Steve commented.


After that wonderful attempt from Minino in the early minutes of the game, Manchester United had taken total control of the match although they had not made any goal-scoring attempt yet.


"I'm so used to seeing Unique FC be the ones controlling the game possession-wise even when they are losing but it looks like they've met their superiors today," Jim commented.


"Yeah, I wonder what will happen when they face off against Barcelona next Wednesday," Steve said.
