Addition can be deceiving

You cannot always tell which will be the best team by comparing player vs. player, position by position. There is such a thing as teamwork, as chemistry, as the will to win, and the little things that good players do that fans and even many TV commentators do not notice. Sometimes the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. What makes it happen? Good character and unselfishness in the players. Good coaching, of course. Players who have been together on the same team for three or four - or even five - years together so that they know each other's moves instinctively. All this is why the teams with the best players do not always win.
