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

The game was thirty minutes gone and although both sides had put in great efforts to deal a great blow to their opponents, the match was still goalless.

If there was any match that didn't fit the description of one-sided in any way, it would be this one.

Both sides had been at each other's neck not letting up even for a moment as they ran across the wet pitch, an aftermath of the already ceased rainfall. It was an intense match but Dynamo FC were definitely feeling the heat more with Dave providing cover fire from the goalpost whenever the ball got to him.

However, the goalkeeper was yet to make a direct attempt from the goalpost, he wasn't doubting his accuracy or anything after all he had put in a lot of effort to improve over the past couple of months, the system didn't really do anything to improve that for him. The reason why he was hesitating to take a direct shot was because of the opposing goalkeeper.
