In soccer, a player's performance can be broken down into six key actions: running, passing, dribbling, shooting, jumping, and defending. Each player excels in different combinations of these skills. Some, like Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, are well-rounded, while others may be exceptional in one area but lack in another. The article highlights how certain players can still achieve greatness or be key members of a team despite deficiencies in some of these fundamental actions, exemplified by players like Harry Kane at Bayern Munich.
"The beauty of the sport is that each great player is great because of a different mix of these inputs."
"Other players, though, become world-class and help their teams win lots of points while neglecting one of these six areas."
