Why do some players not wear shinguards?
It's mainly the German players that don't wear them as I know EPL and La Liga enforces players to wear them.

I certainly wouldn't play without them. I played cricket once without a jock strap.......just once.

I think all players wear them, however most only wear tiny ones.

I remember having huge shinguards, and it felt like it desensitized my feeling with the ball tbh.

As a Center Back, I always wore the biggest Shinpads I could find.

That I understand. I played RW or SS, and didnt like the lesser feeling I got.

You control the ball with your shin Eivindo?
Unless the shinguards limit your movement, which would need to be huge to do so, they don't affect how you play. It's only one of many professional footballers fixation, like coming in the pitch with the same foot, etc.

No, I control it with my forehead like Kerlon the Binter legend.
Its more of a mental thing tbh, and my shinguards were very thick around my ancles. It just felt wrong. Perhaps I should have used them more often in different training sessions to get more used to them.
When I think about it, it was the ankle protectors connected to the shin guards that was most annoying to me. Never tried shinguards without it.

Ankle protectors can be annoying because you can't tie the boots as tight as without them, but there are plenty of shinguards without ankle protectors.

Do professional footballers play without ankle protectors, are they even allowed?

Yes, you are not obliged to wear ankle protectors, just the shinguards. I guess most professional footballers play with only the shinguard.
