But in a more organized game, the players who play for dolo can be easily isolated or taken out of the game by a good defender or a manager with a plan to neutralize your impact.

By contrast, if you're able to share the ball (or more importantly, identify where the defense is granting you space), you can keep the defense guessing-- are you going to distribute the ball, or carry to space? Are you going to shoot from the D, or play in your winger cutting in?
