Criteria :

The main objective of football is to score as many goals as possible by putting the ball into the net opponent's goal. The team that scores the most goals at the end of the match is the winner. The game is a team sport played by two teams of 11 players each, on a grassy field by FIFA . " !

Finishing
Shoots From Distance
Shoots from distance will increase the frequency of which a player will attempt shots from outside the penalty box.

If squeezing the play and pushing the opponent deep into their own half, having a player who can finish off the attacks by shooting from outside the penalty box, can be advantageous.

It’s a great trait for central midfielders or wingers who likes to camp on the edge of the penalty box, such as the inverted winger support, inside forward support, roaming playmaker, deep lying playmaker or advanced playmaker support and even defensive midfielders who venture a bit further forward, as they can provide you with a goal scoring treath from distance.

The player is required to spot potential opportunities for taking a shot, by not only having good decision-making on when to do so but also assess the goalkeepers positioning and his level of reach.

Playing a possession game, it may improve the unpredictability level as the opponent have to take into consideration the long shot capabilities of your player and can’t drop too deep, giving him too much space for taking a shot.

Having too many players shooting from distance may damage your teams ability to get into useful goalscoring positions and might let you see lots of shots off target as the accuracy with the shot decreases the further distance from goal it is taken.

Shoots from distance could be added alongside ‘Shoots With Power’ to make these long shots more effective.

Try to Lob the Keeper in One-on-Ones
Likes to lob the keeper is a technical trait suited for creative players famed for their artistry. It’s an excellent trait for trequartista’s, false 9’s, shadow strikers and any forwards who may find themselves in an one-on-one situation where they can use their unpredictability and technique alone with the goalie by chipping the ball over him.

The player will instead of shooting with power or place shots take advantage of the space over the goalkeepers head to lob him. It requires excellent technique and fine-tuned weighting of the ball path to score.

It provides strikers an alternative method to finish off the attack, but will be far more difficult than placing the shot in the corner of the net or round him, as the space between the goalkeeper and the goal might be limited.

Secondary Attributes: Composure and Decisions

 

Honestly speaking, Edson Arantes Pelé and Ferenc Puskas...

are the only players from the past...that I saw and
who I believe really have the potential for finishing skills... "The technical attributes called finishing and long shots at Football Manager "
better...or at the same level...

Shoots With Power
Learning the trait try to blast the ball into the back of the net will increase the probability of a player opting to shoot with power rather than placing the shot. The placement of the shot will not be as accurate, but will be done with power and strength which may lead to a goal, if the shot is done directly at the goal and the opponent has been great at blocking off likely areas to shoot at.

It suits players with high levels of finishing and strength as they can utilize this action to attempt scoring.

It also increases the likelihood of a player attempting long-range shots, particular if his Flair is better than his Decisions.

It suited for both central midfielders, wide players and forwards as it increases the likeliness of the player to use force rather than aiming it. It doesn’t even matter if he’s outside the box or inside the penalty box.

It suits a determined player who does not got the composure nor the vision to dribbling to take better care of the ball.

Key Attributes: Finishing, Long Shots and Technique
Secondary Attributes: Strength

Conflicting Trait(s): ‘Places Shots‘



Places Shots
Places shots is the opposite of shoots with power and favors players to utilize placement of their shots, preferably towards the posts, shooting with accuracy rather than blasting them in. It means that the player will increase the ratio of placing his shots in the corner of the net.

Personally I prefer to let my attacking wide players (Inside forwards, raumdeuter or inverted wingers) to place his shots as the angle is tighter. Couple it with ‘Curls balls’ and you might see some wonderful goals out of reach of the goalkeepers hands. It can also be given to forwards who shall finish off the attacks as supporting players behind him is more likely to look for him.

When the player attempts placing the shot it’s important he has great composure and is able to spot potential openings which he aims the shot at. Rather than force and inaccuracy, the player will look to shoot the ball precisely into a smaller area of the goal.

Key Attributes: Finishing and Technique
Secondary Attributes: Long shots, Anticipation and Composure





Attempts First Time Shots
This increases the likelihood of a player to take a shot immediately upon receiving it, instead of considering of taking an extra touch on the ball, either to get control of it or get a better angle for the shot, unless he finds himself in a one-on-one situation, which will take the best course of action for this situation.

This means that if he’s outside the penalty area or got players between himself and the goal he might prefer to attempt a first time shot if he has assessed it as beneficial.

Personally, I prefer my attacking Inverted Winger, Inside Forward or one of my forwards, if playing with two, having this trait, as he will finish off the attacks sooner rather than later.

It fits a natural goalscorer with lower levels of dribbling, as he’s incapable of moving with the ball into a more favorable position. The player requires good body positioning and anticipation to read the ball path to strike the ball cleanly.

Key Attributes: Finishing, Composure and Technique
Secondary Attributes: Positioning and Anticipation and Decisions

Similar TI: Shoots On Sight

Similar PI: Shoots More Often

Contrasting PI: Shoot Less Often

Conflicting Trait(s): ‘Looks For Pass Rather Than Attempting to Score‘

Attempts Overhead Kicks
It will increase the likeliness of a player to attempt spectacular bicycle kicks in arising situations where it’s doable, rather than a header on goal, a getting control of it with his body. By using unpredictability and a bit of creativity the player looks to surprise the goalkeeper with an overhead kick as he’s positioned with the back against the goal.

Once the ball comes, the player will throw himself backwards in an attempt to either clear the ball (defensively) or finish off the attack by striking the ball with both feets in the air.

He’s required to be positioned in the right area of where the ball will land and read the situation well to decide attempting an overhead kick. Whether it will be successful or not, may depend on how hard the cross was struck and his body control in the air and his overall athletism.

It’s a trait which can be given to an unpredictable forward with sublime finishing skills and technique.

Key Attributes: Flair and Agility
Secondary Attributes: Finishing, Technique and Anticipation
Other Attributes: Decisions and Concentration

Hits Free Kicks With Power
Similar to a powerful shot, the players with a great free-kick taking can hit free kicks with power. He will not be as precise with his free kicks, but will increase the chance of a free kick to be struck with a lower, harder trajectory. The ball will fly in as a projectile and requires great strength to rifle them in. It’s a useful trait for players with lower technique than free kick taking.

Key Attributes: Free Kick taking and Strength
Secondary Attributes: Long Shots and Finishing

Conflicting Trait(s): ‘Refrains from taking long shots‘

Tries Long Range Free Kicks
At situations where you’re team is awarded a free kick a bit more centrally of the pitch, having a player who attempts direct shots from the free kicks a considerable distance outside the penalty box may surprise the opponent.

With this trait, the player will increase his chance of going directly for a shot on goal, rather than aiming for a player running towards the opposite post or towards the goal. It can be useful in teams with few really great headers and players who are poor at making smart off the ball movements. It provides you with a goal threat from further distance and is best suited for players with excellent free kick taking and long shots.

It can also be learned for a player with poor passing abilities and better free kick taking and long shots.

It’s also one of few traits available for goalkeepers.

2. Ferenc Puskas ...



I know that I am a lone vote in favor of Ferenc Puskas..as the second best player in the Football History .

but someone has to have a stronger personality and courage to say this..
and I have this in abundance..in my character as a person always .

well Why Puskas number 2 all time player ???

by complete finishing skills "Arsenal and Tools to shoot one ball
and even..

the famous sombreros of Ferenc Puskas

he gives the sombreros and dominated the ball by flicking and controlling it with his own nose...

by decision-making - Power...composure ...bravery ...anticipating ..concentration ..aggression ..vertical mentality ...decisions ...leadership ...stronger personality ..

out of this World .

Passing
Tries Killer Balls Often
This trait will increase the ratio of times the player will attempt making through balls. It’s favorable for a player utilizing the half spaces as they can provide diagonal passes from the edge of the penalty box into zone 14 or behind the opponents defensive line.

It looks to unlock the opposition, not by movement and running with the ball, but by excellent vision by playing through balls or third line of passes from deep and in behind the defensive line, which ultimately creates a chance.

It’s a useful trait for any sides, as the passing types will be a bit more direct, testing the opponent’s defenders. In order to make it work, you need attacking wingers who moves gets into the opposition area or who moves into channels.

This trait is equivalent of the take more risk player instruction as it aims to play more low percentage passes in a bid to open up the opponents defensive line.

Key Attributes: Passing and Vision
Secondary Attributes: Anticipation, Technique, Decisions

Similar TI: Pass Into Space

Similar PI: Take More Passing Risks

Contrasting PI: Take Fewer Passing Risks

Conflicting Trait(s): ‘Plays Short Simple Passes‘ and ‘Plays No Through Balls‘




Tries Long Range Passes
Tries long range passes increases the chance of a player attempting to pass the ball over longer distances. It means that the ball is played even more direct which is useful in counter-attacking systems and when you’d favor to go route one.

It aims to enter the final third sooner rather than later and look to get the ball towards a player within the attacking unit as quickly as possible.

This trait is useful for central defenders or playmakers with sublime passing abilities and the technique to pull these long passes off.

Key Attributes: Passing and Technique
Secondary Attributes: Vision, Decisions and Teamwork

Similar TI: Extremely Direct Passing Approach and Hit Early Crosses

Similar PI: More Direct Passes

Contrasting TI: Much Shorter Passes, Lower Tempo, Play Out Of Defence

Contrasting PI: Pass it Shorter

Conflicting Trait(s): ‘Plays Short Simple Passes‘




Plays One-Twos
This trait is more of a technical skill rather than a tactical instruction. Asking a player to play one-twos is a great tool to increase the tempo of the game, especially within a short passing system which relies on playing the ball to each others feet rather than playing the ball into space.

Playing One-Twos will increase the frequency of where a player will make a short pass to the closest teammate before immediately making himself able to receive the ball again, as he quickly moves into a more advantageous position. It’s similar to give and go.

In order to make this work, both players should possess great first touch, technique and passing abilities. The player who shall play one-twos must have acceleration to move quickly into another position on the field whilst the vision to spot the space and be mobile (off the ball movement). He also needs the desired work rate and stamina to do so over and over again throughout the match as space may be congested.

This trait, and movement from the one with this skill, will increase uncertainty between the opponents first and secondary defender as it provides more passing options for the receiver of the ball, which can play the ball back to the one he got it from, switch play to the other flank or make a short pass elsewhere.

It can work wonders between a player who holds position (deep lying playmaker support, enganche) and a more mobile player (Box to box midfielder, advanced playmaker attack who roams, attacking midfielder, false 9 and the mezzala).

Key Attributes: First touch, Passing, Technique and Vision
Secondary Attributes: Off the ball, Decisions and Anticipation
Other Attributes: Work Rate, Acceleration and Agility

Similar PI: Get Further Forward and Passing Short

Contrasting PI: Hold Position and Passing Direct




Curls Balls
Curls balls will improve the players ability to add an extra spin to it, creating a curling movement of the ball at passes, shots, free kicks or crosses. By curling the ball, the ball might get an extra curve which might suprise the opponent as the ball flicks in the air, perhaps from left to right.

It’s a useful feature for players who shall take set-pieces (particular free-kicks) as well as attacking minded creative players who initiate more direct passes and through balls and are required to finish off the attacks with long shots. It can also be given to wide players who are instructed to cross the ball, adding an extra spin to it which makes it harder for the opponents to deal with the ball and it’s path.

Players featuring this trait can be advantageous to target as it can not be learned or unlearned. The only option to ensure your youngster can learn it is through mentoring and tutoring.

It can be a great combination to add this to a player capable of placing shots, shoots with power or shoots from distance, or those who shall try long range passes, switches ball to the other flank or tries long range free-kicks.

Key Attributes: Technique

Uses Outside of Foot
Another trait added for Football Manager 2020 due to fit the inverted winger role. It increases the probability of a player trying to use the outside of his strongest foot rather than his weaker foot, even if the weaker foot is the more natural option for his current body position.

The player will be more likely to use the outside of his foot to deliver diagonal curled passes, crosses and surprising shots by putting an extra spin to it by using the outside of his foot. It’s suited for players with sublime technique, being able to pull off tricky passes and crosses with an additional flair.

As an example we can imagine a right winger, inverted winger or mezzala got the ball on the left flank, he can use the outside of his left foot (his strongest) to make an inward curled through ball towards players running into the opposition area. Another event may be an left inverted winger moving inside or down the wing, and decides to surprise his marker by making a cross with the outside of his right foot.

Key Attributes: Technique and Flair

 

3 . Lionel Messi ...


Honestly, Messi is the kind of player that I don't like personally. Speaking of which, he's not a complete footballer. He's often failed to play for the Argentine national team. He's been having a hard time playing games with alot of fear... and because of a lot of internal fear. The famous game against Croatia in the 2018 World Cup... It was sad to see Messi shaking with fear in that World Cup in 2018. He's a player without a strong personality and very very very shy player. He has no leadership. But on the other hand, he makes up for it. With a lot of pure technical quality and an ambidextrous style. Finishing skills that are simply incredible.


curly balls
place shots
shoots from distance
lob Goals ..
sprint speed ..
agility
acceleration .
dribbling in speed ..
aggressive ...and vertical mentality ..

 

Attempts to Develop Weaker Footer
In situations where you would like to use a specific player in a role which moves inside, such as inverted wingback, inverted winger or inside forward and you only got typical wingers, wingbacks or wide midfielders with their strongest foot to the side their most suited to play at, it can be beneficial to attempt to develop his weaker foot.

The player must possess a weaker foot which may be beneficial to improve, either because of his new position or requirements to fit in a specific player role.

 

4 . C. Ronaldo was

a player who totally revolutionized the entire game.

he was the first player to pay attention and the right attention

to doing a complete recovery day...
perfectly focused

doing physiotherapy

and hydrotherapy with focus, discipline and with the mentality of a high-level professional athlete...

he trained seriously...

so it's not Cristiano Ronaldo's fault

players like Ronaldo Nazario, Ronaldinho Gaucho, Adriano Drunk, Robinho, Neymar Jr.. didn't do this correctly always

for example, arranging meetings with transvestites at night and drinking freely and using drugs on night ...

6. Franz Beckenbauer ....











Many people say that Johan Cruyff was better than Franz Beckenbauer... But in reality, Franz Beckenbauer and his German generation won everything. World Cup 1974 Euro Cup 1972 Olympic Games 1976 with East Germany. In the case of Johan Cruyff's Dutch team, they were very lacking in this important aspect of world football. Lack of Major Trophies then. Honestly speaking, Johan Cruyff is behind Beckenbauer in my opinion.

the brazilian Total Footballer




in 1962 ... was a total footballer .. the best team-mate Of Mané Garrincha in World Cup 1962..



main detail that I saw watching all the whole matches in World Cup 1962 .

tactically speaking

Brazil disarmed the opponent in a
high-pressure mode

and ... in aggressive

style

like Holland in 1974

with the defense line
pressing
very higher


Djalma Santos ...Garrincha ..Pelé ...Zagallo doing the third man for the team ....Zito ...Didi ...



Zozimo ..Mauro Ramos ...Nilton Santos .. playing as 3 defenders much more fixed ....


Zagallo working ...always with Zito ..Didi ..Djalma Santos in the midfield


Garrincha ..Pelé ...Vavá ... Amarildo .... more offensive players ....


for example ... Pelé ... he wasn't doing too much defensive covers, interceptions and tackles ..


like He did it in World Cup 1970 .. and between 1968 and 1973 ...



Zagallo as a coach practically created positional play dominance

7 players playing on the right and center on the field...
