"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 few days later and Christmas was finally here, Ariel returned home before Christmas Eve just like she promised.

Their aunt also promised to return to the United Kingdom before Christmas, and she did well to keep that promise by arriving in the country on the afternoon of Christmas Eve.

She had a lot to share with her Niece and Nephew about, she wanted to talk with them, cheer them up if there was any need for that, and have fun with them.

She was looking forward to making Christmas night a fun night for all of them and she put in the effort of getting that done.

Axel has always been someone who always didn't get hyped up for festive seasons like this, he thought it was nice though to have everyone gather to exchange presents and have fun.

Ariel took it upon herself to decorate the house and the tree because Axel kept refusing to help her.

Either way, it was thanks to her that they were able to have a bright and lively Christmas.
