[quote=Anonymous]Ladies and gentlemen, this is a trick question. 
Ajax, one of the top youth academies in the world, looks for poor qualities for players 
T technique 
I insight (decision making) 
P personality (psychological qualities) 
S Speed (speed play & movement speed)

No player in the world has all speed and absolute zero technique, also no player in the world has all technique and absolute zero speed. There is always someone in some of the other.

The answer is coaches want players who have both or a higher level of both. Not as many players have both of course but that is why there are fewer Elite or higher level players than everyone else.

Other than that, it comes down to the coaches preference, do they like speed or technical ability more.
If I were coaching a lower level team, I need players with speed as the outside backs, or the center forward, or outside midfielders. I also need some technical players even if they are not as fast, I need Central midfielders essential defenders, attacking midfielders who can at least pass and receive the ball and help the team keep possession.

If I'm forming a team of lower level incomplete players, I'll take some of both.[/quote]
