Why is it so hard

there are three real basics to football: passing, movement and pressing - we do none of these to anything like a satisfactory level. Why do players not move once they've passed the ball - giving other players options? Why do we not close people down and snap away at the opposition, forcing mistakes and limiting their time on the ball? This is basic stuff and should take up around 80% of training - the coaching is poor at the club - we could do with a continental coach who could combine coaching the basics with good knowledge of a different transfer system.
