    Bold to assume humans aren’t products of the norms they develop in. Pretending like the greatest players wouldn’t respond to more exact training methods is peak nativity.

    A more interesting question to me is how guys like Maradona, Pele, Cruyff and those chaps would’ve dealt with the trappings of social media in today’s world.
