yeah, makes it seem that it's humanly impossible.

All the best teams that look to build with the ball have CBs that "close" their bodies to play inside as the first option before opening to play around if required.

Right footers (if on the left) have to shift it across their body to do the latter.

I think the *broader* takeaway is that it's easier to be centrally orientated as a left footer on the left than it is for a right footer (body shape will be naturally poised that way, etc.) - Therefore the # of options are more normally present.

Plenty of ways to close yourself off if left footed!
