The objective. It is important to know where you come from and where you want to go. You have to be clear about the objectives and that they are achievable. You have to be very careful when it comes to making the template. We all have to do a effort to understand the situation that the team has The fans have understood that they are our main asset and we have to give back to the support with effort and having our own seal”.
It is important to know where you come from and where you want to go. Goals need to be clear and achievable
