Another important aspect that for many talented footballers very often turns out to be the key is courage or, in fact, the lack of fear of mistakes.
What exactly do we mean?
Many young players in youth groups, small clubs or training sessions show amazing skills, but when they have the chance to play or test in bigger teams and important matches, the fear of making mistakes makes them play as simply as possible instead of showing their full skill.
Despite the lack of mistakes and theoretically good game, it turns out that they do not get any offers at the end.
Why is this happening?
Because there is no club that is looking for average players.
One of Ajax's talent scouts said in an interview that if he had to choose between a confident player who has mistakes but is not afraid to make difficult and daring moves and a player who plays flawlessly but avoids the risks, I will always choose the former.
