I am OP. I clearly asked for opinions on expected running speed for a 'good' player. A good player obviously need to know what to do with the ball and w/o ball when running. I did not ask for geniuses to teach me what a good player is, that was not my question.

What is speed? The sports press often confuses speed with insight. See, if I start running slightly earlier than someone else, I seem faster. - Johan Cruyff.

OK genius, I get it. Teach us how much soccer you now.
Now, stay on point and answer the original question!
If you had a youth soccer team to develop, and they seems 'slow', but insist on dreaming to evolve into D1 or DA material someday, what are some objective raw speed targets to measure them?
Even Cruiff had some minimal raw speed without the ball.

You seem to inquire about the so called pure speed of soccer players. Pure speed is the least important of speed measures in soccer and professional players have a wide range of acceptable maximal pure speeds. Acceleration seems to be much more important than pure speed in soccer. Whatever your maximal speed is the less time you can reach it the more valuable player you are.
