At the star of every season, just before the end of summer transfer window, everyone expects that the upcoming season would be Arsenal season. Unfortunately, for Arsen Wenger’s squad, their time did not came since 2003-2004 season. It was the same this season until last Saturday. Arsenal were 5 pints behind Leicester and 3 behind their local rival – Tottenham Hotspur. In spite of the first place, The Foxes were not considered as favourite to win the title … till now.
After 29 games Claudio Ranieri’s boys are still comfortably standing at the top of the league. In the remaining 9 games Jamie Vardy and company just need to earn enough points which will help them to win the title. But it does not seem so easy, because now they have to play in every single game like it is final for them. If Leicester players were giving 100 percent at every game till now, for the next games they have to double that percentage, if they were giving 150 percent, now they have to give 300 and so on. It is true that everything depends on them, but on the other hand the pressure will increase every day. It is once in a lifetime chance for the Leicester players to become winners, because it will be extremely difficult for the club such as Leicester City to keep its stars.
Leicester may become the first club in the English Premier League history, since Blackburn Rovers, who can destroy the dominance of the big clubs full of world stars and unlimited financial power. In the modern football era, Leicester performance can be already considered as a big achievement. Actually, there were some other example of smaller clubs winning the title in their countries such as Montpellier in season 2011-2012 and Wolfsburg 3 years earlier. Here we can also mention the Greece triumph on Euro 2004 and Porto Champions League Trophy from the same year. There are a few example of small clubs that were congruent to the big ounces and that is why every neutral football fan is supporting the Foxes. Claudio Ranieri and his players deserve the title, but even if they do not win it, they will be the real champion in the end of the season, because they brought the passion back in Premiership and showed fans all over the world that not everything can be bought by money.
