Watch any soccer player and tell me they don’t take “breaks”. When the ball is on the opposite side of the pitch they will walk slowly or literally stand motionless for stretches of time.

I don't think they do not take breaks per say but the momentum they have to keep changes so drastically and in a split second in a way football rarely does. Coupled with the ground they have to cover in order to be an effective player.
The acceleration and change of direction and deceleration can be eye opening.
Since we are talking about football vs soccer this is an interesting video talking about why Messi is one of the best and it talks about his movement in comparison to a former Chiefs player of all people Jamaal Charles.
