Yes. But all the rehearsals are done in vain if the artist suffers an attack of stage fright. And this is what happened here. That was a crew of very experienced pilots, who without any doubt knew very well how to properly fly a go-around. Practised it hundreds of times both in the simulator and in real life. But for some reason the pilot flying "froze" at the cotrols and the pilot monitoring didn't notice that condition right away. Would a more thorough briefing have prevented this "freezing"? How thorough would that briefing need to be? There is so much that can go wrong, briefing it all would take longer than the flight itself...
