"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.

The God Of Playmakers

For match day twenty-one of the English Premier League, Manchester City were going to be facing West Ham United away from home and Norman had a couple of baffling ideas implemented coming into this match.

The most baffling one was that the only starting midfielder starting the match today was Maxi, Novich was starting as the other pivot and then there was Peterson starting as the attacking midfielder.

Yeah, Axel and Andrea were both sitting on the bench but suddenly being informed that they were going to be starting on the bench wasn't what baffled them the most.

What really caught them off guard was the fact that Gregory was using a formation he had never used with this City team before, that was the main reason why Peterson was starting in midfield.
