Master Fabio Gurgel beautifully articulates to Gianni what it takes to become a world champion: Put pressure on your opponent the entire time so that they must defend with a manageably finite number of predictable reactions; prune away the branches of unpredictable multiplicity until you can maintain a lead against your opponent in terms of control. Drill your techniques together so that they become second nature, allowing you to chain together even deeper levels of possible reaction. Staying ahead of your opponent is key, particularly so at the highest levels of competition. One must cultivate a mentality of 'what comes next', and constantly seek an improvement in position.
