It's so easy to be critical of soccer players when we watch from the perspectives that television broadcasts provide. We often forget it's an entirely different game they're seeing play out in front of them.
This video gives us an idea of what Daley Blind was seeing when he sent his ball into the box for Robin van Persie to head over Iker Casillas. Watch how far away the striker is when the left wing-back unleashes his cross, and how perfectly it's timed by both men.
Amazing.
