defender, midfielder and forward along with other supported positions like sweeper, winger and striker. Each position has their own relevant attributes like

stamina, passing, positioning, long ball, finishing etc. Normally at an early age, kids will explore these positions and also develop soccer skills and

tricks to improve their game. As they reach to higher level, the coaches will determine the positions that's suitable for them via training. But footballers

are not dependant on one position and has proved the fact that great players have the ability to play in different positions such as Thierry Henry drifting

wide from his forward position.

The highest level in football demands great first touch which is why I believe that freestyle complements football in improving ball control. In fact,

great players from Maradona to Cristiano Ronaldo plays freestyle football as a hobby to express their creativity by inventing new soccer tricks whether

juggling or ground moves while simultaneously improves their ball control as well. It's the first touch that allows a footballer to gain invaluable seconds

ahead of their opponent to either make a pass, cross the ball or score a goal.

However this is only a small piece of the jigsaw and skill alone is not a single factor to determine the best players. Footballers at higher level cope

with media day-in-day-out answering post-match interviews, signing autographs for the supporters, performing in front of the millions of football fans etc.

Thus they have to set good example and maintain healthy diet to prolong their career as a footballer. Freestylers are more flexible and may handle less

media pressure than footballers along with eating healthy diet and practicing their freestyling skills to improve their freestyle football. In fact, the

lifestyle as a freestyler is less complicated than being a footballer as they have less commitments but the price of being a footballer is worthwhile when

perceived as a superstar in the industry.

It's still early to say that freestylers are better than footballers as it's a growing industry and only started back in the early 21st century.

Footballers arise to these challenges and commitments to become the best player in the world of football and this factor alone determines why footballers are better than freestylers at the moment and as the saying goes ' there's more than meets the eye'.
