That's obvious.

Rather what beggers belief is you're calling someone improving skills to better utilise talent "improving on natural talent".

Rather trying to deny what such players clearly represent is just obfuscation in the worst way.

Because they improved/mastered their skills. Which in turn helped enhance their ability to utilize their natural talents! Surely, this can't be too hard to understand or disputable.

You act as if you've never seen people with bags of talent who have done next to nothing with it like Recoba. As compared to less naturally talented individuals like Beckham. All because of who acquired more skills than the other
