"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

"Pebble quickly sends it flying in."

The winger wanted to find his teammates in the center of the box but he seemed to have placed it too close for Moreno to rush out and grab it.

"Moreno steps in to grab it and nullify the danger."

The goalkeeper quickly moved toward the right, and without hesitation, he sent the ball flying out down the right.

Merino wasn't in a really good position because he had two players close to him so he dropped the ball for Maxi with his head before quickly pushing forward.

He asked for the ball back but knowing that he was offside, the midfielder switched the ball's direction toward the center before he sent it rolling to Axel near the kick-off spot.

"Axel gets his first touch of the game."

The youngster knew someone was right behind him so he pushed forward with the ball.
