"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

Beating West Ham United for the second time this season was a good thing for Manchester City but there was no time for them to start slacking off as their next game was against seventh places Tottenham Hotspur.

They were in seventh place, sure, but that didn't mean that they didn't have what it took to cause problems for City, their first meeting this season was proof of that.

Tottenham struck them first with a two-goal lead before the first half came to an end, and then in the second half, City managed to equalize and even make a comeback which was quite wild.

It looked like City was going to run away with just as the match hit the ninetieth minute but Tottenham shocked with an equalizer in the third minute of added time. A goal that set the Tottenham stadium ablaze as the fans sprang up from their seats screaming at the top of their voice.
