![]() ![]() Let's say there are 2 million professional footballers in the entire world. If it was impossible then there wouldn't be pro footballers, but there are millions of 14 year olds just as dedicated as you are or more so. Even someone like, say, Per Mertesacker is often portrayed as essentially a big stick figure without any pace or technical ability in defense, but put him into a professional match two levels down and I'm convinced he'd pull the strings anywhere on the pitch.ĭo you think you're the best player on your team? Do you think your team has the best players in your division? Does your team play in the top division in your league? Do you think your league has the best team in the city? Do you think your city has the best team in the region? Do you think your region is the most talented in the province/state? Do you think your province/state is the most talented in the country?

He was easily better than another (albeit slightly older and terribly out of shape) former professional player who used to play in midfield, who I've also played against. I've played five-a-side with a former German national team goalkeeper a few times, and he was easily the best outfield player I've ever seen, dominating the game at will not just through his physique, but his technical ability. And calling someone like Milner not "naturally talented" is a bit moronic, really - yes, they may not look like the most technical players at the level they're playing at, but that level is so incredibly high that it's almost impossible to fathom as someone who hasn't experienced it. I wouldn't say guys like james milner are "naturally talented" they just worked really hard from a young age and got into the academy system and worked their way up.Įveryone did that hard work though, even the most naturally talented players. ![]()
