The Foxes Make a Mess

Leicester City entered the new season as underdogs, but the “foxes” continued to surprise. With their sublime playing style, focused defensive tactics, massive counter-attacks and the brilliant form of the Vadry – Mahrez duo, the “foxes” maintained their top position for a long time and only conceded it to the Gunners after a draw with Man City in the final round of the first leg.

The team of Thai billionaire Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha has made opponents terrified, confused and entered the history of the highest league in the foggy country as a "strange phenomenon". Even though the "big guys" tried every way to "decode" the phenomenon of "the foxes", they could not delay their rise.

Finishing the first leg with 39 points after 19 rounds, only behind Arsenal (due to inferior sub-indicators) and the title of "Top scorer" in the first leg belonged to Vardy. Many people are skeptical about the performance of the team led by experienced coach Claudio Ranieri. But no one dares to affirm that "the foxes" will run out of steam when they have been breathed new life by captain Ranieri with a brave fighting spirit, enthusiasm, passion and hidden ambition.

MU is one of the names that disappoints the audience.

The disappointment called "tycoon"

Playing extremely impressively and winning the championship last season, Chelsea disappointed fans when they only won 20 points after 19 rounds and were in the bottom half of the rankings. They are no longer themselves and Mourinho can do nothing else when the top does not listen to the bottom", especially after the troublesome incident between him and female doctor Caneiro.

Finally, the "Special One" had to accept to leave in bitterness when the reigning champion had run out of ways to save him so that Guus Hiddink continued to be invited with the fragile hope of finding the rainbow dream like he did 6 years ago at Stamford Bridge. Along with the strong rise of Arsenal is the weakening of Man United.

A serious crisis, an unprecedentedly bad performance in the history of Man United's participation in the Premier League. The Red Devils were knocked out of the top 4 after the first leg with 6th place after the 19th round. How long will the crisis in the post-Alex Ferguson era last for a club with the most tradition and history in the Premier League? Red Devils fans can only wait in sadness and worry and suffocation in each match when Van Gall has spent 250 million pounds on ineffective play.

While other giants like Chelsea, MU, and Liverpool have weakened and disappointed, the Gunners have maintained the brilliant form of stars like the intelligent playmaker Mesut Ozil and goalkeeper Petr Cech. They are facing an opportunity after 8 consecutive years of experiencing a thirst for titles.

Being the only team to decode the phenomenon of the “bears” Leicester City at King Power Stadium and ending the first leg with the top spot. The Gunners’ warriors are showing their superior class in the 2015/2016 season and they will not miss the opportunity when the title is waiting to be called by the team at Emirates Stadium.

Vardy and Leicester have created a big surprise this season.

Notable individuals

On the coaching bench, the two names that have received the most attention from the media and fans are Mourinho and Van Gall. Despite the Red Devils fans still screaming and going crazy, and the media constantly attacking, Van Gall still "counter-attacks" and refuses to leave the "hot seat" with contradictory statements in just one week.

Meanwhile, Mourinho was forced to leave Chelsea when his fate was over and he may return to the Premier League in the near future as the captain of the Red Devils as fans are still waiting for. Off the pitch, witnessing the terrible decline in form of stars such as: Diego Costa (Chelsea), Sergio Aguero (Man City), Wayne Rooney (MU) or Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal) ... and this is also the time when people see the brilliance of the "unknowns", especially Vardy and Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City), Odion Ighalo (Watford), Romelu Lukaku (Everton).

The return leg of the Premier League will start on January 2, 2016. This is considered a race for the "big guys" to confirm the truth "Form is temporary, class is forever"!

But "money is not everything"!
