The price of success

Lê Vinh |

People see the glitter and the halo of glory, but every success has its own price, even a very expensive one.

The news of coach Pep Guardiola's divorce may have shocked many people. He and his wife, Cristina Serra, went their separate ways after 30 years together, with 3 children. Looking at Pep, everything was perfect for him, because he had a successful career - from player to coach. At the top and as one of the best coaches in the world, what more could you ask for?

But why did it happen like that, when everyone understands that family is the foundation, the support? Pep and Cristina should have been “happy and fulfilled forever”, but in the end it was unfinished, even though the information was that they broke up “amicably”, and could even “reconcile at any time”.

The problem here is that, at the peak of his powers, the Spanish coach was “obsessed with football”. Pay attention to the word “obsessed” and find out how scary its effects are. For Pep, the obsession with further success with Manchester City made him change a lot, in which, stopping the plan for the whole family to live in Catanunya to continue signing the contract was the last straw. Maybe, in the future, Pep and Cristina can still reconcile, but right now, the price for success is each receiving half of the assets…

Nguyen Xuan Son also had early success with the Vietnam National Team through the ASEAN Championship 2024 championship. After the impression from the tournament, Xuan Son's transfer price increased to 700,000 Euros (according to Transfermarkt) and can be understood as the "price of success". But that is more about "value", and the price to exchange for glory is the serious injury of the 27-year-old striker.

Along with Xuan Son, on the journey to win the championship, the Vietnamese team also had injuries such as Ho Tan Tai, Nguyen Van Toan, Nguyen Dinh Trieu... at different levels. Not only that, the players returned to their clubs and domestic tournaments and had a certain level of fatigue - some were rested, some were still playing - among which, it is not difficult to see the results of some teams were not good during this period. That is also the price of success, but it is difficult to complain when accepting to focus on the interests of the team.

The price of victory can come before, during, and even after success…
