"As a footballer, what do you desire the most?"

For most footballers, the answer to that question was very simple, they all wanted the same thing.

Besides the goalkeepers, they all wanted to score more goals and win more awards because that was the criteria used to judge the best players.

However, Axel was different, just like every other footballer, he wanted to become one of the GOATs of the game if not the goat but he wanted to do it his own way.

Why do all the great players and legends have so many goals compared to the assists and none of the so-called great playmakers has been able to reach five hundred assists while a good number of great goal scorers has crossed that number for goals?

Is it because assists are harder to pull off compared to goals? No, it's because they are neglected.

If most players were to choose between a goal and an assist, they would pick goals all the way but assists are just as important, they all lead to the same result which is contributing toward winning the game.

If they are going to put goals ahead, then I am going to put assists ahead, I will surpass all their assists records and put an unbelievable gap between me and them.

I will become the first player to reach an unimaginable number of assists, I will become the god of playmakers and no one will ever come close.

This is my second attempt in trying to write a good football novel so please give this one a read, thank you.

The God Of Playmakers

"Welcome back everyone, the second half of the match is about to kick off now as we can see the players making their way to the pitch."

Just like Tony said, the players from both sides were making their way to the pitch now, and while they were doing that, the voices of the fans were starting to go up.

Manchester City were two goals behind in the game but that didn't seem to be affecting the fans as they were giving them their all with their voice.

They believed that their team still had what it took to turn this match around, and because of that, they continued to support them with everything they had.
