Former Gunners defender Sol Campbell feels
Chelsea can emulate Arsenal’s feat of going
unbeaten in a league campaign this season,
but admits that it will be difficult for Jose
Mourinho's men to do.
The England defender was part of the
Arsenal team that earned the 'Invincibles’
tag for remaining unbeaten in the 2003/04
league campaign.
Their run stretched to 49 games before they
were beaten by Manchester United at Old
Trafford on 24th October, 2004.
Chelsea are unbeaten in the league so far
this season and Campbell feels that
Mourinho’s side have it in them to remain
undefeated for the whole league campaign.
But he warned that the margin of error is
very fine and said that Arsenal’s feat in the
2003/04 season was nothing short of
incredible.
“Chelsea are the team [who can remain
unbeaten] but there is very little room for
error” , Campbell was quoted as saying by
Voetbal Primeur .
“One slip and the run will be over.
“Even with the best players and the best
managers, there are things you cannot
control.
“There were games we came back from the
pitch thinking,’ how have we done it’? I
didn’t realise then how incredible our
achievement really was.”
Arsenal won 26 and drew 12 games as they
won the league title in the 2003/04 season
and they were presented with a golden
Premier League trophy for their remarkable
achievement.
