[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is somewhat depressing and fascinating that this debate even exists in the USA about athletic v technical play.  
Clearly you want elite athleticism and elite technical and creative play
It is not an either or.  
Can an elite athletic team/player beat a technical one? yes
Can an elite technical team/player beat an athletic one? yes

Can you select athleticism an? Yes
can you teach technical play? Yes

The technical creative style of play vs athletic long ball and disruption is not really a debat : technical creative play is better and creates more success  for ANY team
Athletic kickball is great for only a select few teams.

The USWNT plays a hybrid as they should.   So far they have not had to play as technical but that is coming.

For youth teams, technical play takes time to develop it really is a question of when you start that reflects how soon it shows

Pele Ronaldo Messi etc are all technical and athletic.  Their creativity based on their technical and athletic ability sets them apart

That PDA team was not properly prepared by their coach tactically.  It was like they and he had never seen a passing style of play before and expecr d to high press to a win.   I’m sure they simply never saw it executed with such poise. [/quote]

Arrogance.

How do you prepare for never having the ball? How do you suddenly prepare for needing accurate passes? They are trained to play their way and their way got dismantled and then they were toyed with.

If you don’t know how to maintain possession you can’t just prepare for it. [/quote]

Can you just please stop. When the PP said was correct. PDA was so dominant based upon the way they played. If two teams with equal ahleticism and technical play, the team was with better game plan (tactics) wins. [/quote]

Yes.  I think we are actually in agreement.  I am the PP who said PDA had never seen that technical play executed with that poise. 
If Shaquille ONeil is on your team for basketball then sure lob it in to him over and over.  But if you can run The Golden State Warriors 5 our offense with Curry who has greater technical skill than Shaq well you win.

Tactics count.

The PDA team looked unprepared emotionally and tactically.  
Why press so high ? With so few players pressing ? 
Tactics to deal with Barca style are well known and clear the PDA coach just ignored them
A hot day in the sun pressings. Against a possession team up high?   Not a recipe for success
Again the exist nice of a debate seems to me to be more an indicator of ignorance[/quote]

Game 5 in a week? In the Florida sun, 14 years old... what an idiot. These are not 18+ professional players

And as if Barca didn't play the same number of games in the same heat with jet lag on top of it. [/quote]
