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 second half was about to kick off now and just like Norman said, Dave was on the bench now and Alexander was standing between the sticks. 


"Norman has decided to give Alexander a chance and it looks like it was the only change he made," Jim said.


"This would have been a great change if they had been able to get a strong grip on the game in the first half but I guess he just wants to give the youngster a chance to participate, he didn't do that bad when he started against Benfica, so Unique FC may still be able to hold on to the lead." Steve articulated. 


"I guess my job in this match is done." The goalkeeper said before taking his seat beside Mateo.


"You did great, now it's Alexander's time to show us what he can do," Mateo said.


"Did great? I didn't even get to do anything, the closest they got to testing was from that goal which doesn't count at all because it was offside." The goalkeeper said.
