If you can’t improve your ball control, why do footballers train?

Why is this kid copping it ? He is 21 in a new country and has to learn the pep way , what do you want from him at this early stage ffs
Mostly Tactical and awarness and physcialty (not speed) although it does improve their technique but it is not significant
He is not it mostly down to his overall technique which isn't great although not completly terrible where it becomes a major issue either. The slight "debate" is he going to really improve that aspect. He will improve his tactically awareness and mentality.

It’s huge in one touch passing, beating the press and playing the ball to the correct place for their team mate to do the same.
It’s a bizarre hill to die on. Footballer’s can improve their technique.

Doku's technique is top class. His issues are finishing, through balls and stamina. Too often he just strolls around like a primadonna.
Not significantly it is what they are born with. Same with speed. Can't really teach that either but what you can improve is offsetting both deficiencies in those attributes in tactical awareness. Something that will definitely improve under Pep.

Guess Phil hiring a speed coach was futile then?

The MManchester City star Phil Foden employed the services of Liverpool-based sprint coach Tony Clarke to make him faster, and the results have been there for everyone to see this season

A little but he is hardly Mbappe, Vini Jnr, and to some extent Haaland. Most of his quickness is also down to his footballing brain.Guess Phil hiring a speed coach was futile then?

Do you think Usain Bolt got quicker in his career, or was he just not arsed until he did his best time?
He was naturally quick so he had something to work with to begin with. Doku is not slow so he could improve on his top speed even further

Lol
No joke you can't really physically improve a players speed significantly and training mostly keeping things ticking over. You can improve players overall fitness (stamina and conditioning). Most of the training is improving their tactical attributes and team shape.

It’s like Tony Pulis is a poster on here.
while great dribbler still feels like he can handle the ball like hot potato sometimes. strange combo. final pass/cross/shot if he can improve in these a be bit more accurate and cold headed at these crucial moments, that would be great.
imo we will go towards a direction where we will need much more end product from wingers as we phase out the likes of Gundo, Bernardo, KDB and in case Haaland will only deliver 20 a year in PL rather that 35.
Foden, Alvarez wont be able to come up all the rest of the goals themselves.
imo we will be after a high scoring winger in the shape of Saka, Salah, Hazard who in their best seasons could hit 15/20 goals playing from the wing.
is Leao this guy maybe? or Musiala?
our current style getting a bit tired, way too much depends on KDB and a big Gundo shaped hole took a lot out of our general creativity ,ability of changing tempo, speed of attacks etc.
while really little end product from wings overall and neither not many goals from defenders while our set piece coach watches our corners with the success rate of an on target shot/header is like 1 of every 200 corners.

I don't understand what that means lol sorry.
Did you order them on amazon or e bay?
Yeah and tennis players like Djokovic and Nadal just do fitness training. They don’t bother practicing hitting the ball etc as they know they can’t improve. Don’t know why Lampard spent hours practicing his shooting after training either.
