I know. It’s ridiculous. Elanga might not make it right to the top but plenty without the
absolute best technique do. Mane is a decent recent example. Even Salab has less pure technique than Martial if you look at them as teenagers. Pedro at Barcelona under Pep. Mentality, ability to learn in games/training, in game decision-making and luck with injuries make a massive long-term difference. Have seen some on here saying Saka at Arsenal is not that good technically, either, when almost any club in Europe would want a player like that in their team.
