"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

Gregory decided to add one more defender after seeing how his Frontline handled that but that wasn't the only change he was making.

Rafa was added to the defending team to make them three but the attacking team also got a couple of changes.

While Merino wasn't replaced by anyone, Tacky was replaced by Axel and Peterson by Davies.

They were all in position now with Andrea standing over the ball on the far end.

The coach confirmed that everything was ready at that moment and blew his whistle, Andrea heard that loud and clear and so he sent the ball flying out down the middle.

The ball got to the youngster while he was still near the halfway line but he had Pierre quickly heading toward him.

Their teammates thought Axel was the one in trouble but Pierre should have thought of slowing down a bit and most importantly, keeping his legs closed.
