[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Technical work is important, but being in shape and having speed makes technical work more impactful.  Slower players have a harder time getting to the ball when it matters and defending as effectively.  All are soccer skills.  Part of what is makes Mbappé who he is is the incredible speed he has along with the technical skills he uses that speed with. [/quote]

How do you make a slow player fast?[/quote]

To be honest, find a team/competition that is appropriately suited for that player. If their athleticism is interfering with the speed of play and this minimizing their technique, there isn’t much you can do other than find the right level. I dont see this that much but perhaps it’s playing a year up on a B team. Does anyone else see this happening?[/quote]

Yes, I do.  I see players who are solid technically but just not very fast.  In some cases, it looks genetic.  They are in shape and running at full speed.  That speed isn else on the field.  Sometimes it's being a little heavy, which may be fixable.  Playing up on a B team isn't a bad thought. [/quote]
