Looking back at the first half of the 2015/2016 Premier League season: History is being rewritten.

(Baonghean.vn) - The first half of the English Premier League season ended with Arsenal at the top, but everyone is still reeling from the numerous dramatic events that occurred. These storms caused countless unexpected and unbelievable incidents in the top league of England, from the coaching benches to the pitch.

"The Foxes" are causing chaos.

Leicester City entered the new season as the underdog, but the Foxes consistently surprised everyone. Their impressive style of play, focused defensive tactics, relentless counter-attacks, and the brilliant form of the Vadry-Mahrez duo helped them maintain their top spot for a long period, only relinquishing it to Arsenal after a draw against Manchester City in the final match of the first half of the season.

The team owned by Thai billionaire Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha struck fear and confusion into their opponents, making history in England's top league as a "unique phenomenon." Despite attempts by the "big clubs" to "decipher" the Foxes' phenomenon, they could not halt their rise to prominence.

Finishing the first half of the season with 39 points after 19 rounds, only behind Arsenal (due to an inferior goal difference), and with Vardy winning the "Top Scorer" award, many doubted the form of the team led by the experienced manager Claudio Ranieri. But no one would dare claim that "the Foxes" would falter, as Ranieri has breathed new life into them with a courageous fighting spirit, enthusiasm, passion, and underlying ambition.

MU is one of the teams that has disappointed fans.

The disappointment known as "tycoon"

Despite playing incredibly well and winning the league title last season, Chelsea disappointed fans by only securing 20 points after 19 rounds and languishing in the bottom half of the table. They were no longer themselves, and Mourinho could do nothing about it, especially after the troublesome incident involving him and doctor Caneiro.

Ultimately, "The Special One" had to accept a bitter departure as the reigning champions had exhausted all options, leading to Guus Hiddink's return with the faint hope of reviving the rainbow dream he had achieved six years earlier at Stamford Bridge. Along with Arsenal's strong rise came the decline of Manchester United.

A severe crisis, an unprecedentedly poor performance in Manchester United's Premier League history. The Red Devils have been knocked out of the top four after the first half of the season, sitting in sixth place after 19 rounds. How long will this post-Alex Ferguson crisis last for a club with such a rich tradition and history in the Premier League? Red Devils fans can only wait in sorrow and anxiety, suffocating in every match as Van Gaal has squandered £250 million on an ineffective style of play.

While other big clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool have weakened and disappointed, Arsenal have maintained the brilliant form of stars like the intelligent playmaker Mesut Ozil and goalkeeper Petr Cech… They are now facing an opportunity after eight consecutive years of trophy drought.

As the only team to have deciphered the Leicester City phenomenon at King Power Stadium and finished the first half of the season at the top, Arsenal's warriors are showing superior class in the 2015/2016 season and they will not miss the opportunity as the championship awaits the team from the Emirates Stadium.

Vardy and Leicester have created a huge surprise this season.

Outstanding individuals

On the coaching bench, the two names that attracted the most media and fan attention were Mourinho and Van Gall. Despite the Red Devils fans' outrage and the relentless media attacks, Van Gall cleverly refused to leave his position, making contradictory statements within a single week.

Meanwhile, Mourinho was forced to part ways with Chelsea after his time there was up, and he may return to the Premier League in the near future as the manager of Manchester United, as fans have been hoping for. Off the pitch, witnessing the disastrous decline in form of stars like Diego Costa (Chelsea), Sergio Aguero (Man City), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), and Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal)... this is also the time when people see the brilliance of the "unknowns," especially Vardy and Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City), Odion Ighalo (Watford), and Romelu Lukaku (Everton).

The second half of the Premier League season will kick off on January 2nd, 2016. This is seen as a race for the "big clubs" to prove the truth that "Form is temporary, class is permanent"!

But having money doesn't mean you have everything!
