WHY lefties are better footballers

What do Da Vinci, Mozart and Picasso have in common with Maradona, Rivaldo and Messi? They're all geniuses. And they're all lefties. Controlled by the right side of the brain, they're special people. They're more creative and more emotional. Just clichés? Kick off! reporter Constantin Stüve and Mönchengladbach's Oscar Wendt explain why left footers are different class.

I am left foot and right hand.. i was awful player in my local team and still get the team because there were not another left foot player 🤣

[clawedmist]

Here's my observation:
More right footed player=more practice against and with right footed player
Results in:
Left footed players as rare = more unknown to the majority(right footed players)
*Results in:*
Left footed players harder to predict therefore harder for rights to defend/attack
*Results in* :
Left footed players used to right footed players' movements and abilities = also figure they'd continue working on their strength (left foot) to be even more unpredictable for right footed players
*Ultimately Left footed players dominate *
Thanks to their minority/rarity.
