This season Manchester United has achieved unprecedented success, so that those teams in the Premier League can only look up to Ferguson and his team.

From the history of English football and even the horizontal comparison of European football, Manchester United's "Triple Crown" achievement is also unique and unprecedented.

When Ferguson led the team to parade in Manchester, not only the Manchester United fans were elated, but even the entire English football community was cheering.

With the exception of a few arch-enemy fans, almost all of England were cheering on what Ferguson and Manchester United had achieved.

It was the greatest achievement for an English football club since it was banned by UEFA in the 80s.

This is also the pride and glory of English football!After this season, English clubs were truly accepted as super teams by European football.

After this season, Ferguson was able to firmly establish hegemony in the Premier League!
Unsurprisingly, Ferguson won the title of best coach, and after the end of the Champions League, he also won the title of best coach in Europe.

In addition, in the summer of 1999, Ferguson was awarded a knighthood by the Queen of England because of his special contribution to English football.Since then, known as "Sir Ferguson.

It's something no one has ever done in the history of English football's top flight.Of course, in that game, Manchester United also won the largest away victory in history-8 to 1!

"No.1 wins everything, No.2 means failure." The empty-handed Arsenal has only one thing to be proud of, that is, their French rookie Anelka has become the team's top killer. He scored 17 goals during the season and ranked No.2 in the scorer list. He was elected the best rookie of the year.

In addition, although Tottenham Hotspur in London is not ranked high, their former French football player David Ginola was elected Footballer of the Year with his excellent footwork and goals.

There were other stories in London, where Chelsea, under new manager Vialli, made a historic breakthrough - finishing in the top three for the first time since 1970, within four points of the champions.

Aside from a few giants, there is a young team that has gradually grown up, that is the White Rose Army under the Pennines - Leeds United.

In fact, the relegation zone is also extremely fierce, even more cruel.At the bottom of the standings, Blackburn, which was the first to break Manchester United's monopoly on the Premier League title four years ago, was relegated tragically.

What is even more tragic is that the head coach of Blackburn is exactly Kidd who left Manchester United midway-this defeat completely wiped out his aura.The other two places for relegation went to newly promoted Nottingham Forest and Charlton.
