"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

A race between a player who was both the fastest player on the team and the second fastest player in the English Premier League and the youngest and newest member of the team who had not even been able to make the top ten list for the fastest players in the league.

It was quite obvious who was winning this race and Axel was already aware of that.

After playing four games so far, he went online to check his top speed in those four matches since it was easier to track records from four matches.

That was when he found out that he had not even been able to reach thirty kilometers per hour, the longest distance he had been able to cover was twenty-eight kilometers per hour and that was in their previous match when he was trying to keep Arlan off his trail.

He was certain he was going to lose this race even before he asked for it, but he still wanted to see it for himself, the difference in their speed, and that was very much clear to him now.
