"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

"Hey, Victor, can I ask you something?"

"Huh? Sure, you can ask me anything as long as it's not weird." The midfielder responded with a nod.

Axel had to put his phone away now to have this little chat with his teammate.

"Alright, let's say you're in a situation where you have to tell someone the truth but risk hurting them badly. What are you going to do?"

"Hmmm, well that depends on which one's going to hurt the most, no, it depends on which one's going to do the most damage," Victor replied after a few seconds.

"If keeping the truth from her is going to cause less damage or problems than telling her then I'll just keep it to myself, you know there's a saying that goes to this, ignorance is a bliss. However, if letting her go on without knowing that truth is going to be worse than telling her then I'm just better off spilling it." He illustrated.

"Letting her go on is going to be way worse," Axel muttered to himself.
