I see Ethan a bit like that, wanting to make the pass but nobody seeing the space.

Obviously, others might say, “no, it’s a shit pass”

It’s all about opinions

At the time, Martin was 23
Ampadu likes to fire off an early pass with some pace on the ball, but I could see a lot of the Spezia players were more focussed on trying to control the ball instead of thinking 2 or 3 moves ahead. The better teams spend months on these things, doing daily drills until they get it right, but you need the right type of players to begin with.
