It seems that as long as youāre here, fighting and pushing forward, people canāt help but want to oppose you!
They might recognize you, even respect you as a successful and influential figure, but deep down, they donāt vibe with you.
They donāt really like you.
What theyād love most is to see you step away, retire, call it quits.
Thatās when theyād finally go quietāor maybe even start singing your praises.
Itās almost like theyāre just waiting for you to give up the fight, to admit itās over.
Take Wenger and Mourinho, for example.
The one whose enemies still canāt stop talking about him?
Thatās JosĆ©.
His relentless, daily struggle to stay in the game drives so many people up the wall.
Maybe theyāre secretly terrified that one day heāll rise again, stronger than ever.
Ferguson, though?
Heās untouchableāeveryone holds him in high regard, his achievements immortalized. 2 replies

No oneās poking holes in Capelloās record every day, questioning why this happened or why he did that. Even Klopp, now that heās out of the spotlight, isnāt getting flak for Slot taking the team he built to new heights.
Del Bosque, tooāa man of honor, remembered with nothing but respect.
Itās funny, isnāt it? Surrendering seems to make everyone happy. Raise your hands, say āIām done, Iām tired,ā and suddenly people are satisfied. Your rivals breathe easy, knowing youāre no longer a threat to knock them down.
But then thereās someone like Pep Guardiola, still standing tall.
To his enemies, heās this larger-than-life figure of disdain. They canāt stop denying his talent, belittling his achievementsāitās their daily ritual.
Theyāre obsessed with reminding everyone that he doesnāt deserve the admiration his fans shower him with.
So whatās Pep to do? Should he walk away, cash in on that post-retirement respect? Or stay, fight, and stir up even more resentment? . 1 reply

Honestly, he doesnāt strike me as the type to surrender. Not nowānot after everything heās poured into this, teetering on the edge of madness to get here
I think heāll stay. Heāll want to rebuild that magnificent empire heās crafted, restore it to its glory, and once again look down from the top. And how beautiful would that be if he pulls it off? How much more satisfying is it to stick around, fight, and rattle your rivals again, rather than bowing out and winning their approval through defeat?
Pepās got an edge over you and me, though. Heās surrounded by resources, by people who can lift him back up when he stumbles. Still, what heās doing is incredibleāchoosing to stay, to fight, to never back down. And then thereās usāyou and meāclinging on in the absence of everything, refusing to accept defeat, refusing to fall to our knees. If thatās not beautiful, what is? 1 reply
