They practiced where they could get away with it such as behind schools, fields of former clubs, and other places. Everyone is just jealous they practiced and their kids didn't.

It’s a place where you’re so good don’t need to compete against other teams because the inner team competition is so tough. The birthplace of anti-team work.

To me, there are three base components to being a "good player": skills, vision and athleticism, and these are the three things a player needs to develop. However, most good teams are coached to "make the easy play", pass the ball when under pressure to a teammate who is in better position (teamwork). This helps a player develop their vision, but it doesn't push them to develop their skills. The players who constantly try to beat pressure, beat double-teams, etc will develop their skills. Maybe they won't develop their vision as well, but the players who are making the easy play and passing the ball when under pressure won't be developing their skills. So what is the best way to develop a good player? Do you teach them teamwork early on and not force them to be better handling the ball? Or do you have them handle the ball more and teach them about teamwork later?

Skills, Speed, quickness - I view all of these as physical attributes that can be improved upon and honed with good training.
Athleticism - I agree. This is something you're born with and can't be taught.
Vision - I think this is something between the above 2 categories of attributes. You can train this to some extent but some just can't grasp the flow.

That can be a frustrating realty on a team - a really athletic player without vision. Tall fast strong and skilled are great but if they are repetitive and reactive - they are predictable and predictable is beatable with a little strategy.
