Johan Cruyff said :
"Playing soccer is very simple, but playing a straight ball is the hardest thing there is."
Thomas Müller is a great example of a football player these days who plays like this and has reached the top!
How much has this player achieved, anyone can see on the internet.
In this article we want to show you that playing in a simple and effective way can lead you to the top!
At the beginning of the career, everyone was surprised how could such a clumsy and technically weak footballer be reported to the first Bayern team?
However, it only looked so bad at first glance.
Looking at satatistics, it turned out that Thomas wins most of the duels, does not lose the ball, works tactically very well and most importantly has assists and goals.
What is the key to making a weak player at first glance become a legend in German football?
It turns out that Thomas at the beginning of his career worked very hard on simple elements of football technique.
I mean things like ball control, passing and a few simple but effective dribbles.
The most important key, however, is his enormous passion for understanding the game.
Great tactical wisdom.
He strived to make all his plays simple but at the same time very effective and bringing effects in the form of assists and goals for his team.
To achieve this tactical wisdom, he watched many matches, focusing on both the position in which he played and the game of opponents.
Another thing that he developed himself was the speed of making decisions, which made him always be one step ahead of his opponent.
Summarizing
1) Every day, work on controlling the ball to create automatism.
2) Try to watch as many world-class football matches as possible so that your understanding of the ball and tactical wisdom can grow and your percentage of good decisions is the best.
3) Work on speed of reaction and decision making!
