That should be ideal but only seems comparatively harder right now because of the confidence factor. International players almost never start with zero confidence. Maybe a debutante but even he would be backing himself up.
the only effect i see with confidence is it increases your ideal timing as it increases in return makes it easy for scoring, so if i were to spin it i would say this is confidence relative to the conditions which increases as you get accustomed to it rather than belief/form confidence.
If you work a bit on your timing as well as increase skill points you should get going from the start.
