There are six basic actions that make up the majority of what a soccer player does in any given game: They run, they pass, they dribble, they shoot, they jump and they defend.

Ousmane Dembélé is the best player in the world because he's good at running, passing, dribbling, shooting, jumping and defending.

Other players, though, become world-class while neglecting one of these six areas -- or even actively being bad at one.

Mohamed Salah had the best season of his career at age 32 because he stopped defending.

Raphinha has 19 goals and nine assists in LaLiga , plus 12 and eight in the Champions League .

He's the only one to undershoot his xG, or expected goals, by at least three times more.

Erling Haaland, Manchester City's starting center forward, attempts just 12.38 passes per game.

He completes barely two-third of his passes, and has the third -worst PFF FC grade: 56.7 out of 100 .

Nottingham Forest have attempted the fewest passes in the league this season -- about 10,000 fewer than City.
