"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

The training session came to an end after Gregory was done explaining everything he needed to explain to the players regarding the game.

Axel had to head home just after that but not alone, this time he had Ryan to accompany him but it wasn't just him.

Unlike Axel, Ryan didn't really like the idea of walking home so at the moment, the two were in the car of Victor who didn't mind driving them home.

"So, am I going to drop you off at your place or Axel's place, Ryan?" Victor inquired just as he got to the junction leading down to Axel's place.

"Um….you can drop me off at his place, I don't want to give you you too much work."

"I don't really mind, but, okay." The midfielder shrugged before slowly navigating down the junction.

Up to this point, Ryan seemed to be enjoying himself talking to Victor, and while the two were talking, Axel was busy going through his phone.
