1- Forget Your past successes it means NOTHING - It seemed that Brazil
in 2014 has never heard of modern football lessons such as: Ball Control / Possession
Game, Pressing, Overrun the opposition , strecht the opposition, etc...
Make
sure you do not rely on the past, always learn and learn and learn
2- An Action Plan (GERMANY had one) will always prevail over Emotional Intelligence (BRAZIL only had that) - May be even the theory of Emotional Intelligence is simple a CHIMERA. Emotional Intelligence has never been and will never be a KEY Success Factor for winning a battle in Sport and in Business.
No
matter what you do: if you do not have an Action Plan, you are likely to be in
BIG trouble.
3- Nothing is lost until it is really lost, always be patient, focus on
the BIG POINTS in all your challenges. Brazil's panic after GERMANY scored its
first goal in the 13th minutes was a revelation that they lost focus about what
their business was: 90 minutes to win a game. They still had 80 minutes to go
and there was no room for panic in the 13th minute but focus on their action
plan (if they had any, but see 1, they had no action plan).
Patience
and focus are critical factors to revert a negative course. Always think of
buying yourself Time if you are in trouble. Then may be "all gonna be all
right" to quote Bod Marley in "Three Little Birds"
