"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

"So, what team are you going to be using?" Axel inquired as he hovered around the Laliga section of the team selection menu.

"Um….I think I'll go with my club, City." She replied before clicking Manchester City.

"Alright, I'll go with Barcelona then," Axel said before selecting the Spanish side.

Now that the selection was done, they moved to the kit selection screen, and since City was going to be home, the home kit was standard while Barcelona was on their yellow away kit.

They were over with that quickly and now it was time to set their formation and put everything that was supposed to help them win.

Axel didn't see any problem with Barca's lineup and formation in the game so he didn't do anything in this section but Aurora had a lot of problems with the way things were on her side.
