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

No oneâs poking holes in Capelloâs record every day, questioning why this happened or why he did that. Even Klopp, now that heâs out of the spotlight, isnât getting flak for Slot taking the team he built to new heights.
Del Bosque, tooâa man of honor, remembered with nothing but respect.
Itâs funny, isnât it? Surrendering seems to make everyone happy. Raise your hands, say âIâm done, Iâm tired,â and suddenly people are satisfied. Your rivals breathe easy, knowing youâre no longer a threat to knock them down.
But then thereâs someone like Pep Guardiola, still standing tall.
To his enemies, heâs this larger-than-life figure of disdain. They canât stop denying his talent, belittling his achievementsâitâs their daily ritual.
Theyâre obsessed with reminding everyone that he doesnât deserve the admiration his fans shower him with.
So whatâs 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 doesnât strike me as the type to surrender. Not nowânot after everything heâs poured into this, teetering on the edge of madness to get here
I think heâll stay. Heâll want to rebuild that magnificent empire heâs 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?
Pepâs got an edge over you and me, though. Heâs surrounded by resources, by people who can lift him back up when he stumbles. Still, what heâs doing is incredibleâchoosing to stay, to fight, to never back down. And then thereâs usâyou and meâclinging on in the absence of everything, refusing to accept defeat, refusing to fall to our knees. If thatâs not beautiful, what is? 1 reply
