Technique and awareness need to be drilled into players at an early age, if you are 25 and you still cannot play the ball in tight spaces and think 3 passes ahead you are never going to be able to do it.
This has to be trained from an early age. Most of those players come through the Barca academy or have come very very good academies or just worked harder than everyone else to get to that level.
We could start training our youth teams to play like that and hopefully they get it but our current players, if they can't do it already there really isn't much hope for them.
