Grinding out victories gives us the mentality of being able to win in tough circumstances, it builds character. Beating a bum team 3-0 then drawing the next two games makes you fragile and used to only beating crap teams, exactly as we were with Motta. I wish we had this resilience in the UCL last season, then at least we'd have gone out to some heavyweight instead of being humiliated. Mindset matters and is the foundation for a good season, the slick play comes much later.
