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

"I can't believe you managed to get two professional footballers to come here with you."


They had been training for a while and right now, the girls were sitting around each other on the floor to catch their breath for a few minutes before they continued what they were doing. 


"They're not that popular maybe because they play in a low league but they're pretty good at what they do." 


"Yeah, I watched their match against Manchester United and those two were the ones that mainly caught my attention, Dave is just a wonderful goalkeeper, an impenetrable rock and Mateo is just a good artist with the ball." Sofia expressed. 


"Yeah, his playing style is sort of similar to Ciro's but he does a lot of different things differently." One of the girls said. 


"I didn't bring him here for you to check out how cute he is, Miranda," Sofia said before shooting a sharp stare at her. 


"It's hard to miss," Miranda said to annoy her more.
