"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

"Oh, so he was expecting your sister when he said that," Kevin said before sitting down beside Ryan with the drink in his hand.

It wasn't really a big deal, but Axel was able to straighten things before heading upstairs.

"And why was he expecting that?" The agent inquired.

Ryan could clearly read the hint of suspicion in his voice.

"It's nothing like that." He smiled before shaking his head. "She's just sort of his private chef."

"Private chef? You mean she gets paid to cook for him?"

"Well, it wasn't like that at first, she was just doing it to help him out or so I was told and then Axel's aunt showed up and things happened, she believed this would be the perfect part time job for her." Ryan disclosed.

"Oh, I see." Kevin replied with a nod, but he had a lingering question in his mind. "How old is your sister again?"
