PABLO AIMAR: "There’s no greater frustration than hearing someone say, 'There are no creative players.' Especially after repeating 800 mechanical drills, all the same. Where the hell is creativity supposed to come from if everything becomes an automatic loop?... If we tell a 15-year-old kid who wants to try a dribble not to do it because he lost the ball two or three times, what do we expect to happen?... At that age, he’s going to lose it twenty times, and that’s OK! Because it’s in those twenty falls where courage is born, where the vision sharpens, and that spark ignites—something that can’t be replicated."
