[quote=Anonymous]I really do not know why people think soccer is for small players. Sure there are some but most professional soccer player in the big 5 leagues are average to above average in terms of height. 75-85% of the roster is 5’10” or taller. If you are a smaller player 5’9” and below you have to be very quick and fast for a professional. People are missing what Adu is saying. He is not talking about size. He is talking about technical skills. The US system would not know what to do with Messi because he is a very technical player with a very high speed of play(and he was incredibly fast and quick). Maximizing that type of player requires other technically skilled players and a system that is centered around speed of play. You have to have other technical players to push you. That is not the US system. The selection and training of players is different. [/quote]
