Football teams with too many star players see performance decline

20minutes.fr (French)

A study found that football teams with over 60% star players see performance decline, challenging the "more stars, the better" notion. Research on 1,750 matches indicates that excessive individual talent can hinder performance if the collective organization doesn't leverage it effectively, impacting teamwork and passing dynamics. This suggests that effective collaboration and team structure are more crucial for success than simply accumulating star players, a principle applicable beyond sports to various organizations.
