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

Thirty minutes had already passed in the game now and the scoreline was still the same.


Both sides had been equally at each other's throats so far but statistically speaking, Dynamo FC had been the better team.


They've been pressing the away side high on both wings mostly because that was where most of their play lay and although they were doing well in dealing with most of them it was starting to get a bit overwhelming for them, they gave Norman's boys a lot of trouble in their first match and they were doing it again.


Norman had what happened in mind when he made preparations for this match so he had a lot to consider.


He was aware of how much they liked pressing high so he had to think of a way to beat that.


Instead of starting the match with his standard formation, he decided to kick things off with the other formation that he used from time to time, four-four-two.
