"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

"Goalll!!!!" Tony exclaimed as Rafa quickly took off to the sidelines while pointing at the badge on the shirt, and just before stopping in front of the fans, he pulled it closer and kissed it.

"Crystal Palace cannot believe it, they are getting destroyed here at the Etihad Stadium!"

That third goal from Norris was enough to seal the game for City but they weren't satisfied yet, after what this particular team did to them in their first meeting this season, they wanted to destroy them.

Rafa did quite well in getting that fourth goal for them right at the seventy-ninth minute.

Tacky rolled the ball his way after his path was blacked by the defense, and without hesitation, the fullback took the shot with his right foot.

The shot was blocked by the left back who got in the way just in time but things weren't settled yet.

Rafa picked the ball up once again and cut past the left back before taking the shot with his left foot.
