I really think that is the biggest shortcoming in our football.
Whenever I see an Iranian team play, it is so much slower than even in the smaller European leagues.
The decision making is very slow, and even the passes are slow. But mainly it is the time between receiving the ball and playing it further (or taking any other action, like dribbling or shooting).
It's almost always controlling the ball, looking up, thinking shortly and then doing something.
How can that be improved? Is it solely a youth work issue, or can a player in his mid-twenties learn to play faster?
Do the Iranian coaches know about this problem, or aren't they really aware?
I couldn't imagine the second case, but in first case, why is barely any improvement visible?
