In other sports, the athletes are bigger, faster, stronger than ever before while maintaining or even improving the level of technique from the greats of the past. Basketball, football, and (especially) golf are great examples of this trend.
The future in soccer is going to be those bigger, faster, and stronger players with ridiculous technique usually found in smaller guys. It's great to see that shift coming into this sport.
To even imagine a dude with center back size, top speed, and world-class ball control is stunning...I can't wait to see these kids you're talking about down the road.

Huge hyperbole here.
There's always been quality technical players with big statures. Zidane at 6'1" was the most technically perfect player of his generation. However there's always going to be a certain physical hindrance to players over 5'10" based purely on center of gravity.
Gerard Pique is an incredibly silky player, but there's a reason he got pushed to centerback while Messi stayed forward on their youth team that also featured Cesc Fabregas.

I'm small, so I disagree.
