The God Of Playmakers

"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.

Chapter 52: Gloomy Counter

The training session came to an end after about an extra hour of training, and after that, Gregory started to reveal everything he had planned for the game against Celtic FC to the players.

Compared to the training session, this wasn't necessary in any way for Axel besides building his knowledge on match tactics, but he decided to tag along to hear what the coach had to say.

The main problem with the team in UCL games was that they didn't have anyone to fill that attacking midfield role and do the job properly.

The only natural attacking midfielders in the team were Axel and Sergio Romeo who was out injured.

With none of his attacking midfielders being available for UCL games, he had to use his other midfielders in that position, it was either that or change his formation to fit three central midfielders and he always stuck with the former.
