Futsal probably doesn't help those players who were never going to be that technical but were certainly going to be good enough for the 11 a side game, Look at Mozzer, he wouldn't stand a chance, yet he's a top level championship defender, that's one of the things i like about the 11 a side game, it suits a range of strengths, it's not exclusive. To me, futsal is a training exercise.
