"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

That third goal was a direct message to Brighton that they didn't come to play today, there were a lot of highs and lows for the Manchester side the last time they faced Brighton and even though they ended up winning the game, it was quite a hard watch for the fans.

Brighton were half expecting things to be the way it was last time but they seemed to have forgotten that this team didn't have Axel and Victor the last time they faced them.

This was the second time this season that they were conceding three goals in the first half and they knew just how tough it was to come back from three goals, especially if your opponent was Manchester City.

Nevertheless, the away team tried their best to at least pull one back before the first half came to an end but so far, Manchester City were making that quite difficult for them.
