Question: How many players had the highest potential score for crossing that preferred to use their left foots while attacking?
Evidence: highest potential score for crossing refers to MAX(crossing); preferred to use their left foots while attacking refers to preferred_foot = 'left'

SQL:
SELECT COUNT(t1.id) FROM Player_Attributes AS t1 WHERE t1.preferred_foot = 'left' AND t1.crossing = ( SELECT MAX(crossing) FROM Player_Attributes)
