"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

That goal got Manchester City fans quite hyped up and now they were giving it their absolute all in cheering on their teams.

It was always embarrassing to concede in the first minute of the game but Brighton knew they had to get up and try to make up for the goal deficit they had now, whether they'll be able to pull that off or not was a different story.

"You know you were a bit slow there, right, I had to slow things down a bit because of that," Victor remarked as he moved back to his side of the pitch alongside Axel.

"You should have gone for the shot then," Axel responded.

"No, I probably would have missed."

"I've missed a lot of similar chances back at Benfica so it was better to count on someone with better shooting accuracy."

"Shooting accuracy? You set it up for me to score with my heading." Axel retorted.

"Yeah, and now we know your heading accuracy is also good."
