Talent Alone is Not Enough
If you watch very closely the impact of characters like Cavani & Fernandes on those around them is very evident at Manchester United this season. As the camera pans to Edinson Cavani and Paul Pogba before United come out to face Burnley Cavani can be seen lecturing to Pogba about his support play.
Results & Impact
The example of leadership seen above is what you find within winning environments!, players demanding from one another, finding ways to improve the team & the people within it. There is SO MUCH to be said for characters in football, talent alone won't win you titles.
Would you look at Manchester United and think they are littered with leaders, NO WAY! However do you begin to look at signings like Bruno Fernandes & Edinson Cavani and wonder has the penny finally dropped again that talent alone is not enough for United all these years after Alex Ferguson, a man who understood that most?..YES
