The problem with what you're saying here is that you've gone right to the top of the totem, to players that literally have it all to cartoonish degrees. It's not just how they control a ball or dribble with it, it's they 'see' everything quicker, clearer and interact with their environment at the speed of a supercomputer. They are essentially cheat codes as footballers: superior genetics; better ball control; better ball manipulation; better reading of play (situational awareness); better exploiting of space and so on and so forth.
Separating that level from their talent isn't just a case of removing their technical acumen and they fall in line with the pack - they start way ahead of the pack in the first place, and it's further enhanced by their ability with the ball.
This is often made clear when they lose a step or part of what made them brilliant in the first place - they adapt and still remain top percentile a great example of this being Ronaldo who went from what would probably be classed as the biggest glitch in the matrix football has seen, to an overweight, delimited player with half his agility stripped from him. He still remained a world class striker, who no longer had an endless bag of tricks to pull resources from. Another would be a Giggs at 38+ who could still outplay those in their primes and adapted his whole game to cater to what was supposedly keeping him way ahead of the pack in the first place (ridiculous pace and explosivity into dribbling runs).
Beckenbauer is no further removed from the pack, so it's strange you would highlight him. His natural gifts are off the charts to the point he is generally peered directly with Cruyff as his defensive equivalent.
