These players regularly demonstrate their ability to perform at their highest level of speed on the field.

Athleticism has always been the foundation of football. Before each match, players undergo both physical and mental preparation to maintain their edge on the field. A player's strength and endurance are necessary to confront their rivals, but the most significant aspect is their speed, which enables the team to play with swiftness.

While some players excel without much speed, having pace adds an extra level of excitement, as it can result in creating dangerous attacking opportunities through their quickness. Some Bundesliga players are so quick that they can simply run past defenders.
