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

Roland turned his gaze to Mateo as he made his way out of the box expecting some kind of smug expression from the winger but there was none of that.


Mateo quickly made his way to him and gave him a pat on the shoulder before whispering something into his ears.


"Don't let it get you down, you'll get it next time, it's all part of the process." 


After getting all that across to him, the winger left him and returned to his position before they could send the ball out.


Roland was sort of happy that he didn't act smug after proving him wrong and that made sense because they were playing for the same team after all and he would be happy to see him double their lead rather than blow a chance to do so.


However, there was still a part of him that wished he would have just given him that smug look instead.
