Arsenal lost away to Nottingham Forest, allowing Manchester City to win the championship three times ahead of schedule without bloodshed, becoming the second team in the history of Premier League to win three consecutive championships, and the real goal of Blue Moon is to attack the first Champions League trophy and triple crown in the history of the team!

Defend in front of the TV

After defeating Everton, Manchester City, which played 35 games, led the standings with 85 points, four points more than Arsenal, which ranked second and played one more game. After losing to Nottingham Forest, Arsenal only scored 84 points this season, which allowed Manchester City to celebrate the championship in advance. After beating Real Madrid to advance to the Champions League final, Manchester City players celebrated the championship in front of the TV this time.

In the history of Premier League, only Manchester United has won three consecutive championships twice before, from 1998-99 to 2000-01 and from 2006-07 to 2008-09 respectively. Since winning the championship for the first time in 2011-12, Manchester City has won two consecutive championships in 2017-18 and 2018-19, but was upstaged by Liverpool in 2019-20.

Like the 2018-19 season, Manchester City has been behind for a long time in the championship battle this season, falling behind by seven points at most, but finally won the championship by one point after defeating Liverpool 2-1 in the life-and-death battle, and won the Premier League, the League Cup and the FA Cup.

This time, Manchester City fell behind even longer, reaching 247 days, and Arsenal once led by 8 points. At the crucial moment, Manchester City took the lead after defeating Arsenal in the "final". After beating Fulham in the 34th round, Manchester City topped the standings for the first time after 73 days. In the final stage of the sprint, Arsenal were unbeaten in four games and only won in eight games, while Manchester City won 11 consecutive victories.

Dominance overtook Manchester United

After winning the championship five times in six years, Manchester City has won the Premier League championship seven times, second only to Manchester United, which won the championship 13 times, and the Red Devils have never won the championship since the 2012-13 season. In other words, in the past 10 years, Manchester City has won the championship five times, while Manchester United has never won the championship.

In fact, Manchester City has replaced Manchester United’s dominant position in the Premier League. From 1995-96 to 2000-01, Manchester United also won the championship five times in six years. Of course, Manchester United also won the championship eight times in the eleven years from 1992-93 to 2002-03.

However, in terms of results, Manchester City is even better. In these six seasons, the lowest score of Manchester City was 81 points in the 2019-20 season. This season, it has already scored 85 points with three rounds left. In the previous four seasons, Manchester City scored 100 points, 98 points, 86 points and 93 points respectively.

When Manchester United won the championship five times in six seasons, the highest score was 91 points in 1999-00, and the other four seasons were 82 points, 75 points, 79 points and 80 points respectively, far lower than Manchester City.

Hit the triple crown

Before the game against Chelsea, Guardiola said, "The Premier League is the most important event because the game lasts for 10 to 11 months." After winning the Premier League three times in a row, Manchester City has achieved one of the goals of this season, but their more important goal is yet to come.

After reaching the FA Cup and Champions League finals, Manchester City’s real goal is to become the eighth team in history and the second team in the Premier League to win the Triple Crown. Although it has never won the Champions League, Manchester City is the favourite to win whether it faces Manchester United in the FA Cup or Inter Milan in the Champions League.

If he can lead Manchester City to win the Triple Crown, Guardiola will become the first coach in history to lead two different teams to win the Triple Crown, thus entering the ranks of the best coaches in history.

As when he coached Barcelona, Guardiola also created a very controlling team when he coached Manchester City. Fans are still fresh in the memory of Ferguson’s shaking hands in the Champions League final, and after losing to Manchester City 0-4, Ancelotti couldn’t put his hands in the post-match press conference, which is enough to show the strength and deterrence of this Manchester City.

In fact, the media has been discussing whether Manchester City is one of the best teams in history. Chelsea coach Lampard pointed out, "I don’t know if Manchester City is the best team in history, but they are obviously an excellent team. Everyone praises their continuity. From this perspective, they are close to becoming the greatest team. I think they are the best team in the world at present. "

Ramsdale believes that it was Arsenal’s own mistakes that made Manchester City win the championship ahead of time. "We had a lot of games, all because of the mistakes of individual players, which led to the loss of points. In 3-4 games, we should have won, but in the end we didn’t get enough points. Although I failed to win the championship, I am still proud of our team. For Arsenal, this is also a proud season. "
Although it failed to win the championship, in Ramsdale’s view, Arsenal should have won the championship and have the ability to win it. "The hope of winning the championship has been kept until the penultimate round of the season. We feel wrong about not winning the championship, but we are still proud of our team. We should have won the championship, and we have the ability to win the championship. Unfortunately, we made several mistakes ourselves. "
When talking about being blocked by Nottingham Forest, Ramsdale said, "The opponent is fighting with his life, and we also know that we must pay 100%, but we just can’t tear open the opponent’s defense line, but let the opponent succeed in the counterattack, which means that our season is over ahead of schedule."

On March 26th, 2023 Guilin Marathon was held in Guangxi as scheduled. 30,000 athletes from 11 countries and regions around the world gathered to feel the unique charm of misty rain Guilin in the process of running.

"On the blue waves, people are in Traveling in a pictorial world." Green water and green hills are the most shining golden signboard in Guilin. Located on the golden coastline of Lijiang River, it holds the trump card of Elephant Trunk Mountain, the emblem of Guilin. Xiangshan District of Guilin has a unique tourism location advantage. In recent years, Xiangshan District has made great efforts to continuously enrich the supply of tourism products in its jurisdiction, continuously upgrade, innovate and expand the scenic products, and innovate the "water-saving" mode of traditional sightseeing tours and regular day tours in the past, helping the tourism market to "travel all season" and singing the "four seasons songs" of cultural tours.

In March, the Lijiang River, with green hills and crystal clear waters on both sides, attracted tourists from all over the world. As a rain-source river, the Lijiang River has distinct seasons, and March and April after the Spring Festival are the off-season for long-distance tourism. Recently, affected by the rare dry weather, the water level of Lijiang River in Guilin has continued to fall. However, with the acceleration of the recovery of cultural tourism, the number of tourists is increasing.

"Through market research, we found that with the increase in the proportion of go on road trip and self-help tours, at least 20% of tourists are not satisfied with the traditional pure sightseeing tour, and they have higher requirements for the environment and services of the tour." Gong Lelun, director of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of Xiangshan District, Guilin, said.

To this end, Xiangshan District Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau organized and guided scenic spots and tourism-related enterprises in its jurisdiction, and launched a series of compound cruise products, such as "Boat Banquet", "Boat Birthday Banquet", "Boat Afternoon Tea" and "Boat Wine Tasting" launched by Guilin Liangjiang Sihu Company, which enhanced the brand connotation of scenic spots and the quality of tourism services, and met the needs of tourists for diversification and in-depth travel.

"We have always insisted on enhancing the brand image of the two rivers and four lakes scenic spots through distinctive and diversified tour services." Qin Zhichao, head of the operation and management department of Guilin Liangjiang Sihu Company, said that in recent years, the tourist satisfaction of the Liangjiang Sihu Xiangshan Scenic Area has remained above 96% all the year round.

Combined with red tourism, Guilin Liangjiang Sihu Company also launched the brand line product of Party building, "party flag Yaoliangjiang, Red Boat Reflects Four Lakes", which has become a popular classroom for studying and educating Party history. The red wooden boat is antique in appearance, and red items such as national flag, party flag, Red Army sandals and military caps can be seen everywhere in the cabin. Visitors can not only enjoy the beautiful lakes and mountains, but also deeply understand the revolutionary story that happened in Guilin during the tour guide’s explanation.

While continuously improving the tour service and experience, Xiangshan District innovatively integrates the "tourism+"industrial chain, forms new tourism formats such as cultural consumption, interactive experience, business services and industrial display, explores new ways of cultural tourism consumption, and extensively carries out tourism cultural activities.

Recently, the first group of tour groups from Hong Kong, China, arrived in Guilin and started their four-day and three-night tour of Guilin. "Guilin is so beautiful, with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful culture. The historical heritage here is being explored, protected and utilized." Chen Guimeng, a Hong Kong tourist, said that she had been to Guilin twice and chose Guilin again without hesitation among various routes recommended by travel agencies. On the second day of their arrival in Guilin, they took a bamboo raft on the river in Elephant Trunk Hill Park, and got a close look at the wonders of Guilin’s landscape where people are in Traveling in a pictorial world. The colorful convenience shops along the river told the story of Guilin with cultural creativity, which also attracted their attention.

In the theme post office in Xiangshan Scenic Area, I saw all kinds of cultural and creative products built with Guilin landscape as IP filled with shelves. "The album" Li Jiang Fu "and the enamel cups printed with landscape patterns are the best sellers, and the scenic spot has also prepared a wealth of research and study tours." Xiaowen, a scenic commentator, said that when visitors come here, they can take a clear glass of Lijiang River, measure the water quality by themselves with instruments placed on the shore, and feel the purity of Guilin’s landscape. In addition, tourists taking pictures with ice cream shaped like Elephant Trunk Mountain can be seen everywhere in Xiangshan Scenic Area. "This is a popular punching posture now. During the peak period, this ice cream can sell 1,500 pieces every day." Xiaowen said.

Accurately implement policies and measures for the recovery of cultural tourism, carry out preferential promotions, theme festivals and other activities, cultivate new formats and new modes of cultural tourism consumption, and activate the local and surrounding tourism markets … Since last year, Xiangshan District has successively launched a series of measures to boost consumer confidence and help the rapid recovery of cultural tourism market, with a significant increase in the number of tourists at various scenic spots and a sustained increase in consumer enthusiasm. In 2022, Xiangshan District received 8 million tourists every year, achieving a total tourism consumption of nearly 10 billion yuan.

"In the next step, we will combine the scenic spots in the jurisdiction to seize the tourism fever, innovate the business format, and rely on the solar terms, festivals and the characteristics of the scenic spots to carry out rich activities, so that tourists are willing to come, stay, experience well and have fun. Strive to build a world-class tourist city’s’ Dream Lijiang River Shuiyue Xiangshan’ tourist card, and strive to create a national-level global tourism demonstration zone. " Gong Lelun said.
