Question: Antonio Conte recently said that Eric Dier is "one of the best defenders in the league" and, in December 2021, said that he can become "one of the best defenders in the world." And Jose Mourinho famously admired Dier greatly. Almost no regular football fans would give Dier so much credit, so are we being unfair to him?

Tbf this real Madrid team is being given a bit too much credit for beating PSG ; PSG dominated both legs for 85% of the tie just fell apart completely. Benzemas brilliance kinda glosses over alot of the teams deficiencies (despite being way better than last year). That said barca still dominated them one of the best barca displays I've seen in years. This is a youngish barca team with alot of potential but I still feel if they come up against a complete team like liverpool city or bayern they'd get ripped to shreds

With the introduction of greatly increased positional flexibility of how modern teams play football (for example Liverpool's right hand side trio of TAA, Henderson and Salah), what do you feel is the possibility of the sport reaching the point where most, if not all, 10 outfield players are trained in such a way that they have the ability to rotate with almost anyone on the pitch?

Would be interested in research around the importance of ambidexterity and its quantification. I feel like being equally good with both feet can open up a player's game exponentially, given shooting/passing/dribbling options that become available with more angles at a player's disposal and therefore the added number of dimensions that opponents need to consider.

Midfielders usually have a good personal understanding of both attacking and defending; so maybe that leads to them tending to be better managers. Midfielders also usually need to be more tactically aware than a centre back or striker, although all players need some tactical awareness.
