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

If Mateo had capitalized on that penalty kick, they would have gone in for the half-time break on equal grounds, but since he failed to do that, they had to end the first half of the game still a goal down.


The players were all in the locker room now with Norman standing in front of them with his hands crossed behind him.


This was one of those times that he would accept blame for something but he still had some blame to put on the players who messed up in one way or the other.


"I know you guys would have played better with the other two formations and would maybe be leading but that doesn't excuse the fact that you guys missed a couple of really good chances." He took a glance at Mateo as he said this. 


After that, he let out a sigh and slowly observed the players for a while before turning to face the board.
