No it’s not, how often did Ole bang on about “passion” & “who wants it more” “desire” - it’s basically the same thing but with more words. Ralf stressed it too during his time here
Ole might have said the right things but I'm not really sure he understood exactly what he meant by them. Also, there's a big difference between 'passion', 'desire' and ensuring that players have the elite physical qualities required to play for Manchester United.
Take Fred as an example. Now, personally, I don't think you can question his attitude, he would run through brick walls for the club if he could. The problem is, not only is he not technically good enough, he's also far too lightweight. Unfortunately, if you just don't have that physical strength/stamina etc...it's hard to develop it at that level.
Case in point, I would run all day for United and I would describe myself as a very capable footballer at a low level....but I'd never get near the absolute monsters you see in professional football, even though when I did play regional semi-pro/Academy level football I was 6ft 1", 88KG and ran 100m in under 12s. No amount of 'passion', 'desire' or 'wanting it badly' would help me at all.
We're looking for the 0.001% who have the whole package...it's incredibly difficult to find, which is why Liverpool employ former rocket scientists to create Data models to find players who are the right profile before following up with the eye-test and character assessments
