"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

The reason Gregory asked the players with yellow cards to raise their hands was that he wanted to make a few changes during the halftime break and he wanted those to come off to be among the players already booked so as to reduce the chance of his team getting a red card in this game.

It turned out those he wanted to remove were among those with yellow cards so that was a good thing as he could bring on the players he wanted to bring on and launch his tactics regarding the second half.

After a good halftime rest, the second half was set to resume and the players being aware of that were making their way to the pitch.

"Welcome back, everyone, the second half of the game is about to kick off as we can see both teams making their way to the pitch now." Tony articulated.
