There are not lots of Coaches in the world who can think about "off the ball" and recognize and evaluate its importance and value, and players who can perform high quality of "off the ball" movements (of cognition and information processing). Even if you look at it, I feel that there are not many in the women's soccer world.
However, I think that international level players (= players who have a lot of experience in tough games on the world stage) have high quality cognitive ability and high processing ability.
The reason is that the areas of "dimension", "depth", and "width" required at the international level are different.
