Chapter 704: Heading for the Triple Crown

Arsenal won the game again, although United also won the game in this round; However, Arsenal are still at the top of the table with seven points left, with only six league games left, which means that the Arsenal title is getting closer and closer.

Manchester City, they basically completely announced their withdrawal from the title race at this time, they did not withstand the pressure in such an important game, although Manchester City is already a very good team, but one thing is certain, that is, Manchester City really need to make persistent efforts if they want to become better. Looking at Arsenal's performance, you may know that Manchester City need an absolute strong point now, and Manchester City also need a more mature performance.

Of course, the Gunners don't need to worry about anything now, for them, the victory in this game means that Arsenal is getting closer and closer to the league title, and now Arsenal also has more initiative to deal with the next games with ease. Seven points, that's a huge lead, and judging by Arsenal's form in recent seasons, expecting Arsenal to collapse when they're closest to success doesn't seem very likely.

Arsenal's performance in recent seasons can be said to be more and more mature, and their ability to seize opportunities is also getting better and better; Arsenal don't need to prove anything to anyone else right now, as back-to-back trophies over the past two seasons speak for themselves. This season, Arsenal are the biggest favorites in the league and the Champions League, and it is a time to prove Arsenal's strength.

The Gunners have been really good and have been beaten by strong opponents in the league; But just look at Chelsea's decline this season. In addition, the nouveau riche Manchester City has always lacked the confidence to reach the top in one fell swoop. Manchester United, on the other hand, is 'old and strong'. But this is no longer the time for Manchester United. Among them, there is also the impact of teams such as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, who have the opportunity to bring difficulties to Arsenal; But now it looks like Arsenal are still the best team, and the Premier League is now part of the Arsenal era.

Arsenal's legendary coach Chapman made a name for himself in Huddersfield between 1923 and 1926, leading the team to the first two titles of three consecutive titles, before moving to Highbury in 1925. Huddersfield had never won the league title until Chapman won the title in 1924.

In 1932-1935, Chapman continued his magic. He led Arsenal to their first title in 1930 and then began a League One hat-trick with the Gunners. However, as fate would have it, Chapman still failed to see the team achieve three consecutive championships, and in January 1934 he died tragically, and George Allison succeeded him in leading the team to three consecutive championships.

Liverpool then won three titles in a row between 1981 and 1984, with Paisley leading Liverpool to two of those titles, the first of which was quite magical, with the Reds sitting in 10th place during Christmas 1981 before a comeback. The third of Liverpool's three consecutive titles was won by Joe Fagan.

As for the first treble since the establishment of the Premier League, Manchester United won the 1998-2001 season. Alex Ferguson also became the only manager in history to lead the team through a treble in a row, and their success was the result of a miraculous treble-winning era. In 1999, in addition to winning the Premier League, they also won the FA Cup and the Champions League. In the following season, Ferguson's side were eighteen points clear of second-placed Arsenal, and in the third year, United won the title again by 10 points.

Between 1999 and 2001, United's three-game run was seen as unprecedented, possibly unprecedented. Falling from the highest place naturally hurts the most. Since then, the league title has been snatched away by Arsenal, and although it has been recaptured, it was due to the laxity and inexperience of the opponents, and after the rise of Chelsea, Manchester United really tasted the downfall. They once fell to third in the league, a position that fans have been unaccustomed to since the inception of the Premier League; The Champions League was also kicked out of the knockout round for the first time in ten years.

Since the 06-07 season, Manchester United has once again completed a third consecutive title, and the last time they won the title was in the 08-09 season. Manchester United have built a dynasty of their own and are the most successful team in the Premier League since its inception, having won two consecutive trebles.

But then comes the Arsenal era, with the Gunners now on the verge of completing a treble and having a good chance of taking their Premier League treble to three. This is not an impossible task for Arsenal, who are now seven points clear of Manchester United and have every reason to win their next fixtures.

This is perhaps the best script for Arsenal, who have played a supporting role in United's journey to build two trebles in a row; Now it's time for United to watch Arsenal proudly rise to the throne, and it's time to watch Arsenal build a dynasty. For a top club, three consecutive championships is really an incomparably proud glory, which means that they have ruled for a period and they are worthy kings.

Arsenal are also getting closer to establishing their own dynasty, and looking at the Gunners' current performance, they are only six games away from becoming champions; Although Arsenal's next games also include strong opponents such as Chelsea, the Arsenal players are more confident of winning the final victory.

However, Arsenal's players should not be taken lightly, because they are now distracted by the Champions League semi-finals, which will definitely make Arsenal need to work harder at the moment of the title, which is also the biggest test for Arsenal's players when they are close to success, and it is a test of perseverance and physical fitness for Arsenal's players.

Arsenal's main rivals in the league are now only Manchester United, who are arguably an experienced team and they are certainly not to be underestimated at this time; Despite their poor record in the Champions League this season, Manchester United, who were eliminated from the group, will have more chances in the league, and their current all-out pursuit of the league title will also put a lot of pressure on Arsenal, who now only need to sprint with all their strength to bring the biggest difficulties to Arsenal.

Arsenal still have heavyweight games like the Champions League semi-finals, while Manchester United just need to concentrate on the league for now; However, the pressure on Manchester United is not easy, relatively speaking, Arsenal's opponents in the next league are generally relatively weak, and Manchester United's opponents include Manchester City, Chelsea, Everton, Aston Villa and other stalwarts.

This may be a good opportunity for Arsenal, although they need to face strong opponents in the Champions League, but many weaker opponents in the league can make it easy for Arsenal to get points, which is also the greatest offset of Arsenal's need to fight Chelsea in the Champions League.

After the victory over Manchester City, Arsenal fans are naturally attacking Balotelli, as for this bad boy will be subject to additional punishment, Xiao Qing does not care, although there are many rumors that Balotelli is going to be purged, but Xiao Qing really does not care, this has nothing to do with him, and it has nothing to do with Arsenal. As for Nasri, he was also ridiculed a lot at this time, although he was able to get more salary at Manchester City, but the inability to win the honor also seemed to confirm that Nasri left Arsenal for money.

Arsenal's players are in a good mood, although Arsenal is about to start a Champions League battle with Chelsea, but they can now face the upcoming 33rd round of the league with a more relaxed mentality, Arsenal will face Wolves away. This is a team that has suffered six consecutive defeats and is now the vice-president of the Premier League.

Although Arsenal had some rest in this game, Arsenal is the league leader after all; And although the vice-captains are playing at home, they are no match for Arsenal at all.

In the sixth minute of the game, Xiao Qing received a pass from Little Tiger Walcott and entered the penalty area to form a single knife, but the Wolves defender directly pushed and fouled; Wolves were given a red card just six minutes into the game, and the relegated Wolves were simply unintentional, they were just playing routinely and they didn't care about the result.

Xiao Qing's penalty was easily hit, and Arsenal took the lead; In the fifteenth minute, Walcott and Xiao Qing collided with the wall and entered the penalty area, and the Wolves defenders were also out of shape, and the little tiger volleyed from close range to help Arsenal extend the lead. At the beginning of the second half, Van Persie also received Xiao Qing's knock back in front of the penalty area and scored a long-range shot, and Arsenal continued to expand the score.

3-0, Arsenal easily defeated the vice-squad leader to continue to consolidate the lead, with only five rounds left in the league, I believe Manchester United will definitely feel the pressure, Arsenal continue to lead the standings with a seven-point advantage, Arsenal is now getting closer and closer to a third consecutive championship, they are all ready.

However, Arsenal's players can not be completely relaxed at this time, and the five rounds of games also represent a lot of uncertainty, although Arsenal's next opponent is not very strong, but there are really many examples of overturning in the gutter, and Arsenal really needs to put in more effort and focus if they want to win the championship.

However, Arsenal may need to start to be distracted before then, with the Champions League semi-finals just around the corner; The good news for Arsenal this time is that they don't need to think about home and away games, this is the London derby, Arsenal and Chelsea matchup, and it can also make Arsenal's players get some physical protection. But the bad news is Chelsea, it's a really strong opponent! (To be continued......)
