hint: training is more important [/quote]

If this is true, why do professional teams send young players out on loan to develop?

Could it be that game time is important as well?  There is only so much that can be replicated in practice.[/quote]

The inability to replicate game-like scenarios in training is a reflection of the lack of knowledge and competence of the coach.
(see other thread about quality coaches and coaching licenses and certifications) [/quote]

It's one thing to replicate "game-like scenarios" and another to compete in a real game against an opponent who is not your teammate playing 11v11 (unless you assume the team rosters 22+ players). As much as you try to replicate a game, it's not the same. The only coaches who claim that, are the ones who have huge rosters and try to convince parents and players that playing time in a game doesn't matter because it's all about training. [/quote]

You learn during class, not during the exam. The game is the exam. Training is the classroom.
You take your training on to the game pitch. If you can't do it in training, you can't do it during the game.

Some people care too much about the superficial and the imagery. 
Okay, your kid is out there for the entire game so you can record and take pictures for FB and IG with all their bad touches, poor control, bad passing, can't beat anyone 1v1 or stop them, can't make quick or good decisions.

Good coaches can make game-like scenarios that are exactly the same and many times more difficult than games.

You think an overload possession drill in a small space with varying rules doesn't replicate game scenario?
There is a reason the best coaches spend most of game time taking notes of concepts to work on in practice. Not joysticking during games.
