Fantastic read.
When I watch players who use tons of skill, I feel like I can tell who uses it with effort and without.
Erik Lamela for Spurs is a player who tends to go back and forth. When he had his rabona goal last year, it was mindboggling how a player could take such a shot in the run of play. But he wasn't thinking. He was just using his skills that were second nature. But oftentimes, he loses the ball in one on one situations because he is overthinking and can't see the right play.
ETA: Today is actually the one year anniversary of this beautiful goal.

Without a well-honed, advanced and broad technical skill-set, it is surely impossible for a young footballer to concentrate on anything but their attempts to pass, receive, dribble, cross, shoot, head, turn and tackle. The basis of the game is technique, everything else is supplementary. With a finite supply of attention, a young player who must expend significant energy on the deliberate execution of technique is inevitably lacking in attention to ‘spend’ on collective strategy, tactics and individual-role specifics.
one big problem with this theory is the french system
it seems to produce magically skillful players who don't always put it together on the field. there is a strategy/teamwork angle that is crucial in sports. the french side is like the first wave of NBA euros. they could dominate any workout session or skills display, but many had no idea how to play basketball.

I mean, that was interesting, but I'm not sure I came away with anything new.
You need a technical foundation to be able to think the game. Unconscious competence. Flow. Well established theories of athletic performance.
