I didn't think it was and I actually chuckled in real life when I read your comment.

You think that player intuitively will understand all aspects of the game just by "working hard"? How does he know what "working hard" means - if he's never seen it?
Also, another key aspect is time. Yes perhaps after 10yrs playing the game, the Sunday league player does have an outstanding knowledge of the game - but by now he's 30yrs old, he's passed it.
In a trading context, hard work to me, might be considered procrastination to Peter. It's relative
Jamie Vardy didn't have some international superstar on hand to show him a bunch of secret techniques that only superstars know about, and nor, I imagine, did most top players.
If the desire is there, they will find out what they need to do to get to peak footballing fitness, what techniques to practice, etc.
They will also improve their knowledge of the game by listening to experts, and thinking critically about what they say (e.g. 'Hansen says that was shocking defending. Rather than just assume he knows his stuff, I'll try to work out where he was coming from and whether his logic stacks up).
He might also watch lots of football from around the world too, to see what works and doesn't work in practice, and to get ideas and inspiration.
In short, he won't try to copy anyone, but will learn from a wide variety of sources, and practice applying the knowledge until it's automatic. If he has the talent to be world class, the end result may be very different to Kane, but potentially just as effective.
The approach you advocate was tried out in 2008 by Arton Baleci. Who? Exactly... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7735859.stm
