Worst scout to ever exist
Not just that, but I think the self confidence and ego's they pretty much have to have to reach that level, they put probably 90% of all success if not more down to just their own quality and their attitudes. They lose 1 game and equate it to a bad day with a bad mentality, and then when they see others losing more often it means to them that it's a bad mentality or lower quality players. They almost can't admit or realize just how much influence a coach actually has, because it's not something that is always very clear to see.I think it’s something to do with extremely gifted players not being able to fathom that everything doesn’t come as naturally to other players as it did to them.
Evra for example. Sure, he had a rocky start to his time here, but he had everything in his locker to become a monster of a player. All it took was time to put it together really. You could easily see Evra developing into a quality player wherever he ended up. Contrast that to someone like AWB for example, who you would say probably needs a quality coach and proper instructions to help him bring it all together if it ever is to happen.
