It can be said that generally, people are humble. So it will be true. Here neither 1 or 2 implicit is correct.

'Generally people are not humble' is not the same as 'people are not humble when victorious', so it must not be implicit.

Am I correct?

Neither is correct because the statement asks a man to be humble even after being victorious. This implies that people are usually not humble after the victory.

(l) is just opposite of it. (ll) is not implicit because it generalises the statement.
