Do you agree with Arsène Wenger when he says that 90% of elite football is mental?

Sometimes opportunities come when you least expect them or come in circumstances that aren't optimal

But more important than whether or not the opportunity is optimal or if it came when you expected it or not is you being ready to take the opportunity when it does come
