"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.

Axel's side won the coin toss which meant that they were going to be the side to start the match with the ball which gave them the advantage to try something before their opponents could stop them.

At the sound of the coach's whistle, the practice match kicked off, and as soon as Merino heard it, he quickly sent the ball rolling to Paul who quickly sent it rolling back to Andrea down the left.

Rafa along with Maxi quickly charged toward him at that moment, but just before they could get to him, he quickly sent the ball rolling to Novich who pushed it to Davi with his second touch.

Tacky tried to close up on the fullback at that moment with Codex coming in from the middle but just before any of them could get close to him, he sent the ball flying forward.

He was trying to find Axel near the halfway line, and just realizing that Peterson quickly closed up on the youngster.
