Now that his system had also offered to reward him if he managed to win the deal, the goalkeeper was keener to keep out Mateo's shots but the question was if he would be able to keep out three shots from someone who had scored eight goals from freekicks this season.
"Are you ready?" Mateo asked as he adjusted the ball on the spot he was meant to kick it from.
"Yeah," Dave said as he jumped up and touched the crossbar.
"Ok, here goes nothing," Mateo said slowly moving back.
He didn't move that far back before returning to send the ball off with his right foot.
Dave was glued to the floor as the ball flew towards the top right corner and slid into the goalpost.
"Mateo, there isn't even any wall and you're playing something like that," Dave said, throwing the ball to him.
"If you want to become a good goalkeeper you are gonna have to learn to deal with shots like that," Mateo said as he caught the ball and dropped it on the spot ready for the next kick.
Christine said.
The goalkeeper took a deep breath as Mateo stepped back, closed up on the ball again, and sent it flying towards his goal post.
The ball was just elevated a little bit and was nowhere the height of the first shot but Dave had made a mistake by diving to his left while the ball was heading for the middle.
His mistake wasn't entirely a mistake as his leg was still in the middle, it was enough to deflect the ball which struck the left crossbar and rolled away.
"You got lucky in that one," Mateo said before walking to the piles of balls behind him and picking one. "You got really lucky." He said as he dropped the ball on the spot.
"Well, I'm planning to be two times lucky," Dave said as he adjusted his glove.
"We'll see about that," Mateo said as he raced towards the ball and released the shot towards Dave's weak side and this time it was elevated.
The goalkeeper caught the gist of where he was going to put the shot but he just wasn't fast enough as the ball slipped through his hands and he fell flat on his face.
"Wow," Mateo said. "You put up a really good amount of effort to save that one but sorry I made it a little too powerful."
The goalkeeper got up with more determination as he knew that if Mateo was to score the next one then he would have to buy him lunch and then lose the reward his system promised him.
"This is it, buddy," Mateo said slowly, stepping back. "If I score this one, then you'll have to buy me lunch."
The winger stopped moving back and this time instead of running to the ball he slowly approached it and once he got close enough to it he released a lobbed shot to the right-hand corner.
"No, no, no," Dave said as he dived toward the ball.
The only thing that was able to reach the ball was the tip of his gloves which pushed the ball further to hit the bar before rolling over the bar.
Mateo was in shock as he stared at the goalkeeper with his mouth wide open.
"I never believed you could do that," Mateo said.
"Neither did I," Dave said as he got up from the floor panting.
