It's something not so original today with FIFA and the Pro Evo series allowing you to play games controlling one player only, but at the time Libero Grande based its whole game on this. The gameplay wasn't brilliant but it offered something other sport games didn't, while they let you be God and control the whole team this took realism further and let you only play as one player. In saying this though, from memory you could order your teammates to slide tackle and I think shoot which sort of takes away from the whole point of it.
