My favourite type of player ❤ the le-tissier type guy with 0% athleticism 100% technique. Kroos, pirlo, busquets, xavi, iniesta, Thiago, ozil, santi Cazorla, Michu, Riquelme, the list goes on and on (very common amongst Spaniards)
My favorite genre of player.
Good content. But I disagree in so many levels. First, maybe you should have given a definition of what an unathletic player. For exemple, you talked about Jonjo Shelvey… he was bodying people all the time, so I don't really get the point.
Second, you take Kroos at the end of his career. I'm 37 and follow football since I'm 5. I would argue that Kroos age 22 was more energetic than todays Kamavinga.
Third, the "both feet" criteria. Every great player has both feet but only few of them are ambidextrous. Kroos (who I love as a player) is not one of them. Look Oussman Dembele play and you'll know what a real ambidextrous player look like.
And finally, I think it's a very bad habit to oppose technic and physic. Players like Yaya Toure or Patrick Vieira or Franz Beckenbauer long before them have already show us that this opposition is intellectually irrelevent.
0% athleticism 100% technique, describes me perfectly 😂😂
