3) Change strategies; continue to reskill ourselves – I am pretty sure that both teams would have worked on and reviewed their strategies prior to the 2nd leg, what additional set-pieces they can explore more, etc.
Likewise, for us, we need to do that too – on this, I draw parallel to COVID-19 pandemic that is spreading in many countries around the world. This is so unprecedented for every country and everyone, no matter how many financial crisis we have been through! What must we do? Countries are changing strategies, policies as we move along daily, weekly, etc.
On a more micro level, we also need to be thinking post-COVID-19, what the “new norm” is going to look like for ourselves. Before this, we were worried and concerned about an era where jobs will be replaced by machines – but that was probably like yeah ONE DAY! Now for the past 2-3 months of 2020, jobs and people have already been mass displaced with no end in sight for now (and by something so small too)!
Hence, it is time for us to bring out our thinking cap, and to change strategies/to reskill ourselves – continue to learn, unlearn and relearn! Once all this gloom is lifted, the world we are all going to step into is just never be the same ole world again!
4) Seize opportunities when they arise – it was in such coincidental fashion that both teams needed spectacular and last-gasp goals to seal the deal on their nights.
The partnership of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Divock Origi and Lucas Moura’s on-the-5-minute-mark-injury-time strike just stirred up such emotions that when you do see opportunities and seize them, you will walk away winners! Die-hard supporters would have thousand-and-one mental visions on what if these did not happen the way it did; am sure they are quick to thankfully (and gleefully) said luckily their heroes did! 🙂
Same for our daily lives, no one may know what they future looks like for us, and how opportunities may present themselves to us. If they do, are we ready? Or conversely, are we ever ready pursuing our goals such that these opportunities are within our reach?
Well so much about the jubilations of Champions League 2019; I pray that everyone continue to keep well and stay safe. Cheers, happy weekend too!
