What I’m learning from Argentina during this World Cup
- Team spirit beats team organization. There are other teams that are much better organized. But the ones that came close to beating us did it on the basis of spirit and energy.
- Individual talent and energy should not fitted from above into a scheme by the coach, but instead be allowed to flourish. Organization is a way to give talented and dedicated individuals a chance to do their very best.
- Expect to be down, and fight relentlessly until you’re through. Nothing will come easy, even when in paper it should. The glory is not so much in winning it, but in winning it after being down.
