Strange rules in the English Premier League

Having lost 2 matches in a row, both in a state of surprise (0-3 against Crystal Palace and 1-2 at home, against Brighton), Arsenal from almost firmly holding the No. 4 position in the Premier League means with the final capacity estimated Champions League next season, now suddenly lost in the duel with Tottenham.

Not only losing a great advantage, Arsenal now also face the risk of falling into a crisis, right at the decisive stage of the season. On the one hand, experience and bravery are never my forte Arsenal which everyone knows is composed of young players. On the other hand, observers have also dissected a series of exposed tactical problems of coach Arteta. Schedule The coming time is very heavy: Arsenal will have to constantly meet Chelsea, MU, West Ham, Tottenham …

Arteta has just won the title of the best coach of March when Arsenal lost 2 games in a row AFP

The biggest responsibility in the downfall belongs to the coach Mikel Arteta? Sure. But specifically, where is Arteta responsible, then… there is a strange irony: he has just been awarded the best manager for March in the Premier League. Is the title of the best coach of the month a clear sign to warn of a downturn? Will catastrophic failure fall immediately? There is indeed a so-called “strange rule”, in most cases in the Premier League this season.

Arteta himself can refer to himself, or look no further than rival Tottenham! After 3 absolute defeats in August, Arsenal won all in September and Arteta was awarded the title of best coach of the month. Immediately after Arteta won the award, Arsenal consecutively lost points in 2 matches that were considered easy. Those are the matches against Brighton and Palace. Now, Arteta won the award again and Arsenal lost in a row, against the same two opponents, to the point of falling out of the “top 4”!

Before Arteta, the title of the best manager of the Premier League this season was given to Tottenham’s Nuno Espirito Santo, with a winning record in August. That’s it. Tottenham… absolute loss in September. Santo was even fired, less than 2 months after he was honored in the Premier League!

Even the big names are not exempt from this strange law. Thomas Tuchel (Chelsea) is the third coach in the Premier League this season (after Santo and Arteta) to be awarded the best coach of the month. When Tuchel received the award, Chelsea led firmly, considered the heaviest title candidate in the Premier League this season. Only 1 month later, Chelsea fell to 3rd place and considered the end of hope of competing with Liverpool, Man.City. Romelu Lukaku appeared “debt”, then Chelsea was sold, failed in the final of the League Cup. If he had a wish, maybe Tuchel would ask… to return the title of excellent coach?

After Tuchel is Pep Guardiola, the most famous coach in the Premier League, belongs to the superstar model that does not need to be introduced in the coaching village. Of course, Guardiola has to be a little different. He received the best coach award for 2 consecutive months. But in the end, right after being awarded the second time, Guardiola lost points against Southampton, ending a 12-match winning streak in the Premier League. Then, Man.City often lost points and was Liverpool catching up, from where it seemed to have firmly grasped the championship.

Coach Bruno Lage (Wolverhampton) was awarded for his winning record in January. Immediately this team lost the first match in February, losing 6 of the last 11 matches. Eddie Howe (Newcastle) is the best coach in February. A streak of 3 consecutive defeats will appear shortly after. It seems that only Liverpool has not disappointed this season. Because Jurgen Klopp… has not been awarded the best coach of the month?
