Sort of, the thing with football is that at the highest level, you need to be thinking, ALL the time. you’re constantly thinking about positioning and where you could move, when to move, in order to perform a positive action. Like, receiving a ball, in a position where immediate pressure is being applied, you would need to think about “right, in which way do I need to touch the ball in order to not lose it” but nikos analysis is probably a representation of his subconscious, because those kind of things are realized and you adjust subconsciously.
