High levels of tactical abilities are required to adapt to the professional game, whether this be individual tactics - making space, player marking... or group tactics - offside trap, space coverage... or team tactics - playing for time, counterattacks... An excellent example is the wingback position, this often requires a player who is technically a defender, to also get forward and attack as a winger. This demonstrates enormous tactical defensive and attacking capacities. The better the all round tactical ability of a player, the greater is the chance of success, whatever the level of the game.
