[@andredognini917]

I would make a very long speech, but I try being short. I follow Serie A because I'm italian. In Serie A there are 540 players. One is the better (CR7), there are 15 top players (Higuain,Icardi,Dybala,Dzeko,De Rossi,Mertens ...), 250 players are for Serie A (who can play in every club). Then, the rest of players are normal, and they could play in second/third division, but them are in Serie A for two reasons : 1) mentality (sacrifices, personality, hard workout) 2) good procurator ( agent, knowledge of people, transfermarket, affairs ... ) This is the reality

[@AlexSanchez-nd6hr]

In the professional football world, regardless of what level your playing at whether it be top tier or lower this isn’t a massive gap in technical abilities and skill. Although, what separates these players is they’re decision making, picking out key moments and knowing how to execute these moments.

[@marcusaurelius8540]

@Perfect Soccer oh yes, I still play competitively 2x a week in our local league

[@minge9]

Unlike in American football or basketball, genetics does not play a huge role in football. I think it's because the 'culture' is different. In England, we play football literally everywhere and whenever we can. In the states, I think they play basketball and American football whenever they can at a young age. I'm not sure how to explain it but if you watch InTheLab's video on culture, I think you might be able to get a grasp on this issue. Not trying to be cocky here or anything, I haven't touch a ball for nearly 8 years now. If I had like two straight weeks of training, I'll probably be better than him

[@StefanMuellerMP]

I think it's super important for all players to self analyze themselves to see where they are in the game and what it takes to reach that next level. Very insightful hearing your own personal self analysis and hopefully it helps a lot of the younger players out there.

[@rafalstawicki4446]

Pretty good self-eval Matt! One thing I might point out is composure, its often overlooked but you watch these top players and there so relaxed whilst being pressured, leads to a good touch, pass etc. Being able to instil this level of composure is one of the more difficult things to do in football.

[@gustavodebritogoncalves3692]

“To be the best player that I can possibly be”. The modest way of limiting yourself, when realistically the sky is the limit when you really analyse the thought. Great stuff man. I’ve never played pro, have played semish pro, but have had 3 knee surgeries, twice acl... I’m now 31 and so keen to return after 3 years off. It will be super hard to play competitive again, but I’m determined and your videos are very inspirational. I hope you never lose your form, determination and goals. Live a life of no regrets. Unfortunately Football is not a profession you can chase for the rest of your life. Enjoy every moment. Much love

[@juansantamaria2337]

This a really great video Matt. Suggesting about at what age what type of training to focus on is really good for these young up and coming players. Fantastic job man!

[@benjaminfitzer2479]

Hey Matt, if you think that you are technically not at the EPL level consistently, how do you think Jamie Vardy can burst on the scene at his age and be such a quality player. Do you think a lot of it is speed/athleticism, or perhaps he had very good youth training to develop the technique to be an EPL player that he was able to call upon at a later age. I would like to hear your thoughts on that. I enjoy your videos, thanks!

[@GamerBros31]

Benjamin Fitzer very good question

[@joshualit4333]

Great question

[@ryannejadian9795]

the vardy rise is a bit diluted, he was already at a decent academy ( sheffield wendsday) but when he was dropped at 18. to answer your question vardy had already had a fairly decent youth training

[@zaca1997]

Ryan Dropped at 16 mate

[@whitleylevi]

[@czvelez]

i am very impressed with your self analysis and your work ethic. I agree with everything you said. especially the thinking process of the other players. those guys are always thinking 2-3 plays ahead of you.

[@BrianZuma]

I see where your coming from me as a senior in high school at 18 soon I see as my time is running out to find a a college team. But just never forget that you have inspired and encouraged thousands of players to either Follow this career or do something else. No top team player does anything like that. After there career is over there is not much else they accomplished. 🤟

[@erichenderson3394]

I think the biggest difference between yourself and a Top level pro is pretty straight forward. You sadly didn't have the proper technical training at a young age. Most players or at least a decent amount of players playing at a higher level are special technically. You've become very good technically through working your ass off, but theres always going to be that gap. You have the mindset of the highest level soccer player, but just didn't get the training you deserved at a young age. i doubt Sergio bustquets is as athletic as you. so its tough. I love your channel dude! Not trying to be demeaning at all. just my take.

[@kakibackup2koujo612]

Yoko no hate on Sergio

[@hanswuat1245]

sorry but in my opinion he has not the talent for the top level and thats ok, thats life. how many kids dream about the future as a pro player?!. iam from germany, soccer is the sports number one here and all guys who play as kids in professional clubs (u16,u18 or u21) dream about to play in the bundesliga or a league below but the quotient who really arrives as a fulltime soccer player and can life with that or pay the bills only with soccer is under 3%. yes with the right mindset, and hard work you can achieve many things but in the topgroup you must bring all stuff on a decent level. on the other hand, he can do every day what he loves for work and thats great but with 26 years he must realise that the windows are nearly closed for the big jump. a interesting question would be why is matt not earlier travelled to europe with maybe 22-24 years and tried for clubs in the second and third leagues from europe.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

@@hanswuat1245 I think part of his weakness is a lack of creativity and aggression. When you look at the top players, especially strikers, they play with no fear, they are not afraid to take creative chances. Matt is in great shape, maybe is lacking in technical skill compared to Europe, but he could compensate for that by being more aggressive. It goes in any sport. Sometimes players start later in life but have an intristic talent that they can still become pro. Maybe it's harder in soccer than in other pro sports. There certainly are late bloomers in basketball and american football.

[@netking767]

@@hanswuat1245 Yeah, playing at USL and other NA teams is holding him back. USA football focuses on physicals but the tactics are atrocious. Players who are not physical or technical can easily play at a decent level with the correct tactics, and at the same time with proper tactical education they can continue to develop technical skills and move up in levels. Sadly, it's the footballing environment that is holding him back...

[@anakkucings]

his speed and physique pretty similar to kolarov without the shooting, technical and stamina to really consistently overlap. old style fullbacks who sat back is what holding him back and imo if he focused on getting speed/explosiveness/stamina with better crossing/technical, any mls team would sign him.

[@jjbeastgaming3813]

your the best Matt!

[@sebfox2194]

Respect for working hard and going after your dream, even if you only make it as a lower level pro. One thing I would recommend for developing your close quarter skills and decision making is futsal. You get more of the ball, and since the pitch is small you are always being pressured, so you need to develop really good close control and fast decision making. You seem to have similar problems to many US soccer players. In general they are usually great athletes, are fit, and can work hard and run fast in straight lines up and down the pitch, according to certain drilled tactics, but many of them somehow seem a bit awkward in terms of their close control, ball skills, dribbling and decision making. They just don't seem to move like someone who is a natural with the ball at their feet. In countries like Spain, Portugal and Brazil, who develop naturally skilled creative players who have great dribbling and decision making skills many of the players play Futsal. Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Neymar, etc all used to play a lot of futsal. So I'd highly recommend it if you want to improve your decision making and skill on the ball.

[@Challenges-um2zd]

Posted less than a minute ago and ppl are like great vid Matt😂 but Matt you’re the 🐐

[@TheReemkareem]

One thing that may help getting a bit more confident in your decision making skills is to pick two or three professionals in your position and obsessively watch their game highlights. Am not talking about those three minute soccer mixtapes, but their actual highlights against teams. Just by doing that you could see what works in certain situations, what doesn't, when to attack, when to play it safe, etc....

[@southafricangoat883]

Yea that's facts peolle don't realize how good u actually have to be its a level most people don't even see

[@kcovac2029]

Just that fact that you are able to evaluate yourself in this way, with this level of honesty goes to show why you are where you are and why I'm here watching this video instead or why some guys never make it to even a semi pro level.The only thing that I see that failed you is the level and quality of training. EPL players at 15-18 years of age are already spoiled with world class trainers and fitness coaches teaching them and molding them into an EPL player, where as here in the US we train players to compete at an MLS level of play or college level and I think we can all agree that is years behind the rest of the world. We're getting there but the rate of which we are moving towards a better youth system is way too slow!

You are right about the differences. You can make it in MLS (with a bit more aggression, perhaps) but to survive in the higher leagues of Europe you need to understand tactics and the big picture better. At present you have a great chance to make it if you go overseas as you already have the physicals down, so it's just about tempo and understanding the game better. Your league and team are holding you back.

The best way to improve technique and decision making is playing indoor as much as possible. This will make you completely comfortable working within tight spaces where your first touch has to be perfect and you have to know what to do before you get the ball. This will make full field play seem fun, because of the amount of space.

It's cool how you self-evaluated yourself. It takes a lot for many people to do that. I personally believe that you can play in the MLS or even a European league like the EPL or even Bundesliga because you work very hard. With hard work and dedication, one can do marvels

Sadly it isnt all about hard work. It's about that technical, tactical skill that most top 5 league players have that makes them better than the rest. You just pick it up. I'm playing at a relatively high level in Ireland for u15 level. I can tell you. The difference from playing in small regional leagues to now playing in our national league is huge and I've improved. But even then ik that the quality in spain, england, France is better so they would be learning even more than me. Just because you are the best at hard working in America doesn't mean you would be the best in , say, germany because of the technical skills he hasn't picked up from higher quality facilities and leagues. Just imo. Life is cruel but always dream big

@@danielcowan87 you're just chatting. Fact is pros in Europe make mistakes just like amateurs worldwide do. The only major difference is pros in Europe are much better with their decision making so don't make it seem as if European pros are miles ahead of everyone technically because in reality they are not.

Matt - I'm no expert, but I think that you are doing adequate technical training. That is not the problem. Even if you out trained the best players in the world, if you were faster, had better dribbling, etc.... you are missing some key things - the intangibles. I think you should spend many hours watching footage of the greats and then trying to mimick their moves in your training. Rather than just doing technical stuff and diet, recovery etc. You're great at that. What you need is vision, creativity, aggression, in your playing. Watch the greats and measure that stuff. The time that you allocate to making youtube videos you should reallocate that to studying the best players in the world at your position.

Tbh yeah he just covered his match and reviewed it Many times he had the opportunity to ping the ball for a great assist,or at least a try but well he just passed back

[@nofurtherwest3474]

@@alisafeerhyder1994 Yeah, maybe this is a confidence thing. So many players have the opportunity to attack but they just become a bit timid. But maybe I'm wrong, I'm not an expert. But I play a lot and I see this often. This can cause the better team to lose, because they have great dribblers and they hold onto the ball too long and don't get off enough shots. You can't score if you don't shoot and attack. You need a balance. Defense, midfield, strikers.

[@jnnorelien9267]

Don't sell yourself short man, if put the work, even if they don't give u the chance you are and can be as good or even better more consistent, than a player who was more fortunate and got to play earlier, and at a higher level, and is not putting as much work in. Even if they are you can still catch up. You're their man, you're a great player, just keep grinding.

The things that separates us from Serie A , bundesliga, laliga, premier league is their work efforts , their intensity of drills and their developed basics

GREAT VID VERY HUMBLE

9:29 naaah bro she's a keeper. Bruh she's helping you train.

[@cadendosmann5376]

Great vid

[@Lala-ll4cn]

tbh what i would do in that drill is work on my aim first on hiting the top corners by just using 2 touches and a finish because by looking at the raw footage i just feel thats what i would do as after alot of repetitions on hiting the corners it will make you finish more of your chances in theses training/match. - love from a future star

[@Lala-ll4cn]

hello i think u should get your eyes checked i said "work on your aim first" and with alot of repetition it will be like a memory and "you will finish more of your chances"^^^^

[@raymondgarbutt4551]

You also need to play in the right system to let your through talent shine, as a RB not all teams might use you highly in their attacking

[@nachokap3258]

Thanks for the content of your channel. I have always wanted to train as European professional players. Here in South America there are no good professionals who teach you how to train correctly, greetings from Chile.

You can 100% be in the mls you have everything to be a star

[@skittlezSKiLLz]

when crossing , imagine youre swerving the ball as a shot, thatll improve consistency

[@jackitoburrito3081]

What separates u from a premier league player is literally everything

Hey Matt, I’m just wondering throughout your injury and that time where you couldn’t play football/soccer how did you keep a positive mindset.

[@raynwani137]

Lots of love from India!

[@SailingTheSeasPirateRob]

don't compare yourself to anyone else, become the best version of you focus on that process and not the outcome and your outcome will follow. everything is possible in life if you choose to believe it, ( what you can see in your mind you can hold in your hand), remember those who say they can and those that say they cant are both usually right. i'm routing for you :).
