What do soccer players do?
There's an endless list of answers to that question, but if we try to simplify the game down to its component parts, there are six basic actions that make up the majority of what a soccer player does in any given game: They run, they pass, they dribble, they shoot, they jump and they defend. The beauty of the sport is that each great player is great because of a different mix of these inputs.
Someone like, say, Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, is above-average at all of those things.
