I reckon coaches like PeP look for two-footedness because the essence of tika-tika, apart from overwhelming possession, is to put opposing players off balance, or on the wrong foot, rather than move them into areas they don't want to go. As for the best example here's Robin Van Persie hitting a screamer with his wrong (I man right!) foot.

Bale was banned from using his left foot in school as he was too good.

He then became the best right footed player in the school.

When Routledge emerged Jordan said he wanted the academy to produce players that can use both feet.

It's all very well to want players that can use both feet. But they'll automatically use their stronger foot everytime unless they are forced not too.

In egg chasing, Johnny Wilkinson scored the winning points in the world cup final using his weaker foot.
