To be honest I don't think strength stops you dribbling, dribblers can beat players simply by sending them the wrong way they don't always need strength. I'm not saying being strong on the ball doesn't help, because clearly it does and will make you more effective but you can dribble past players without it as has been shown many times in the past by players like Limpar, Maradona, Juninho etc
