This reminds me of a story my cousin once told me.

Back in the day, my cousin was a decent player in the Scottish Juniors - I think he went for a record or near record transfer fee in the Juniors at one time. When he was playing a young player called Tommy Burns (yip, Scottish football fans, that Tommy Burns) was "farmed out" to his junior team for some experience. My cousin said he was outstanding, from the first training session he was different class and had ball control and ability that they just hadn't seen before.

The first game came up and Tommy was fabulous in the first half, taking players on and bringing people into the game. At half time though, he was very rattled. One of the more experienced opposition players had taken him to one side and whispered exactly what they were going to do to him. And how few legs he'd have left. So, they took him off at half time. That's why he was there though, to learn that side of the game.

That's also why Scotland doesn't produce that many skillful players, but that's a whole different discussion.
