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

Mateo was standing over the ball in the penalty spot with his gaze on the goalkeeper while everyone else was behind him outside the box.


"I don't think he's their standard penalty taker, but it looks like they're leaving this one to him," Jim commented.


The referee carefully observed everything and made sure none of the players were encroaching into the box before he blew his whistle.


"Jeremy has a good penalty save ratio in the league so far this season, saving two out of three penalties. Can he keep this one out?" Steve expressed.


After hearing the whistle, Mateo slowly took three steps backward before he slowly closed up on the ball and fired it toward the goalpost.


That was a tricky penalty from the winger as he sent Jeremy diving the wrong way. 


He fired the ball toward the right side with just a little bit of elevation while Jeremy dived to the left. 


There was no doubt, the ball was in the goalpost now and it was a goal.
