I've noticed when young soccer players are introduced to a new set of skills or concepts

我注意到，當年輕的足球員接觸到新的技術或觀念

it usually takes them time to practice and adapt

通常都需要花些時間練習和適應

During the process, players might suffer a temporary drop in performance due to the adaption of the new skill in concept

在過程之中，球員們的表現可能會暫時性地下滑，因為還在適應新的技術和觀念

But in time, if they stick to it, their performance catches up and eventually exceeds their original level

但時間過後，若他們不放棄，他們的表現會回來，終究會超越他們原有的水準

However, during the adaption period when players performances are temporarily affected,...

然而，在適應的期間，當球員的表現暫時受到影響時...

some players do go back to their previous ways and styles of playing the game

Because they feel like they have more control over the ball, they feel like they have more control over the game when they're using their old techniques

因為當他們使用他們舊有的技巧時，他們感到自己更能控制球、更能掌握比賽

They never get to reach, and needless to say, surpass that peak where they could have ascended and upped their game to a whole new different level

他們沒有機會達到，更不用說超越那(障礙的)頂點，在那他們原本可以提升他們踢球的水準到一個全新的境界

It is such a shame

But to be real, that is what separates the good from the average players

但說真的，這就是劃分好球員跟一般球員的線
