A player can struggle with one club and suddenly become much more productive after a transfer. What causes these changes? Could coaching systems, playing time, teammates, confidence, responsibilities, or the style of the new team make such a big difference?

I think the biggest difference can be finding a system that suits the player. More playing time and responsibility can build confidence, while the right teammates may create better scoring opportunities. Coaching matters too. Sometimes a player hasn’t suddenly become better; the new team simply gives their strengths more room to show.
