Reborn Almighty Life

For English fans, Wembley Stadium is a special existence. It carries the glory and dreams of English football. Even though it was torn down and rebuilt in 2000, it is still the holy land of football in the minds of English fans.

Football king Pele said frankly that Wembley is the church of football, the capital of football, and the heart of football; in the mind of Bobby Moore, the captain of the England men's football team who led England to win the World Cup in 1966, Wembley is the Mecca of football.

!

In its more than 80-year history, Wembley has hosted many classic events, leaving rich and colorful stories in the history of world football.

The first football match hosted by Wembley was the FA Cup final on April 28, 1923, against West Ham United and Bolton Wanderers. This game was also the starting point of Wembley's legendary history.

The official statistics for this final were 127,000 spectators, but it is generally estimated that the total number of fans attending the game was 240,000 or even more than 300,000. This may be the largest football match in history. Unfortunately,

There is no precise statistics yet.

There were no tickets on sale for that game at that time. Fans only had to pay at the entrance of the stadium to enter the stadium to watch the game. As a result, Wembley Stadium, with a designed capacity of 127,000 people, actually had an influx of 240,000 fans. Many fans were even squeezed in before the game.

Arriving at the stadium, the game was delayed from kicking off. At this time, a mounted policeman, George Scoley (Gee

Scorey rode his white horse Billy to guide the fans back to the stands with difficulty, and the game barely kicked off. The shot of Scorey riding his white horse slowly through the crowd has become people's most profound memory of that game.

Even more than the game itself, so this FA Cup final is known as the "White Horse Final" in history.

In order to commemorate this "White Horse Final", after the completion of the new Wembley this year, the Football Association named a bridge from the stadium to the city "White Horse Bridge".

Since 1923, Wembley has been the venue for the English FA Cup final. It was not until 2000 that Wembley was demolished and rebuilt, and the FA Cup final moved to Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

In addition to the FA Cup finals, Wembley has hosted the European Cup and World Cup finals, as well as the Olympic football finals and the opening and closing ceremonies. There are countless other events held at this stadium. This is Wembley.

Bits and pieces of the legend.

During Michael Jackson's "Bad Tour" in 1988, he held 7 concerts at Wembley. The audience at each concert exceeded 70,000, with a total audience of 504,000, setting a record.

Nice world record.

As we are about to enter the 21st century, the old Wembley is becoming more and more outdated. Although it is a football mecca, it can no longer meet the needs of modern football matches. The Football Association finally chose to demolish Wembley and rebuild it.

On May 20, 2000, the old Wembley hosted her last FA Cup final, against Chelsea and Aston Villa. Chelsea's Roberto Di Matteo scored the only goal of the game.

This game has also been repeatedly mentioned in the past by pro-Chelsea media, who believe that the Blues will continue the team's good luck at Wembley and win this year's FA Cup.

On October 7, 2000, the last game at the old Wembley was played between Germany and England. Hamann of the German team scored the winning goal and became the last player to score at Wembley. This game

The defeat also directly led to the dismissal of England coach Kevin Keegan. After the game, many fans removed the stadium seats as a souvenir, and Wembley was officially closed thereafter.

Today, Wembley has completed its reconstruction. It took seven years and cost 780 million pounds to build a circular stadium with a diameter of nearly 300 meters. The stands are 52 meters high and the world's largest single-arch landmark is 133 meters high. It is the largest professional football stadium in Europe.

Can accommodate 90,000 spectators.

The first game after Wembley was built was the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester United, which was also the greatest respect for this ancient competition.

For this day, the Football Association has made complete preparations and conducted multiple rounds of tests on the entire stadium in advance to ensure that the game is foolproof!

In addition to opening 30,000 tickets to fans of both sides for this final, the English Football Association will give away the remaining 30,000 tickets to sponsors of English leagues at all levels, UEFA, FIFA, etc.

The purpose is to show the world the charm of English football and so on.

For the Premier League, which is determined to compete for the world's No. 1 league, the English FA Cup final is a good entry point and can be fully publicized through this final.

…………

Manchester is 322 kilometers away from London. In order to avoid the fatigue of travel and various accidents on the day of the game, Manchester United arrived in London one day in advance. In addition to a good rest, they also needed to go to Wembley to play a game.

For all the players, Wembley is a brand new stadium. Whether it is the stadium's lawn, lighting or stand design, they are all unfamiliar to the players. Even though Manchester United's players have experienced hundreds of battles and are rich in experience, they are unfamiliar to them when they first arrive.

, may not necessarily be able to perform well.

Therefore, Manchester United arrived at Wembley just before nightfall four hours after arriving in London, ready to experience the lights and lawns of Wembley.

When walking through the White Horse Bridge, the Manchester United players saw the statue of Bobby Moore standing tall outside the stadium from a distance. Everyone did not laugh or scold, but quietly looked at this legendary statue.

For England's players, Bobby Moore is their idol. 40 years ago, he led the England national team to win the World Cup in England, which is England's only heavyweight championship trophy so far.

Although Bobby Moore died of illness in 1993 at the age of 52, the entire English football world remembered this legendary superstar.

Gu Fei paid tribute to the statue purely out of respect for the ancestors of football. After all, as the most famous captain of the national team in England's history, Bobby Moore created the most glorious years of the Three Lions.

When the Manchester United team entered the stadium, Chelsea had just left Wembley through another channel. The organizers of the English Football Association were very smart and did not arrange for the two teams to enter the field at the same time.

After all, both teams need to retain their momentum until the moment the game kicks off. If they meet in advance, they will lose their momentum.

The newly built Wembley Stadium has been recognized by UEFA as a five-star stadium and can host the world's top events including the Champions League final, let alone the FA Cup final?

As Gu Fei stepped onto the lawn of Wembley, the classic matches that had been played on this stadium flashed through his mind. Only in England, a country with a long history of professional football, can each stadium have so many

legend!

Wembley Stadium was the main venue of the 1966 World Cup, hosting the opening game and final of the World Cup. On July 30, 1966, 98,000 fans witnessed the England team defeating the Federal Republic of Germany 4:2, led by captain Bobby

Moore led the team, and the whole team walked into the Royal Box along the famous 39 steps of Wembley Stadium, and received the Jules Rimit Cup from the Queen, which became the most glorious moment in the history of English football.

In the past four decades, professional football in England has developed tremendously. Whether it is the rise of Manchester United or Liverpool's sweep of European football, or the short-lived emergence of Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest, professional football in England has

The club has won enough honors for English football.

However, in the golden age of modern football in the past 40 years, the best results of the England men's national team in the European Championships and World Cup were only the semi-finals, which somewhat disappointed English fans and football practitioners.

Gu Fei knew that England, which had just failed in the quarterfinals of the 2006 World Cup in Germany, would face the tragic prospect of missing out on the 2008 European Cup. Even in 2020, England did not win any significant championship.

Before every major match, the English media would always give the Three Lions the title of 'the strongest in history', but after the team lost, it was the Fleet Street media who scolded them the most.

The cycle continues over and over again, and it is only natural that the England men's football team is called the "European Chinese Men's Football Team"!

…………

"Boss, what are you thinking about?" Gu Fei raised his head and looked at the brightly lit stands. Cristiano Ronaldo patted him out of curiosity.

Although the arrogant Ronaldo believes that he will become the world's number one superstar in the future, he has to admit that Gu Fei is his boss now!

"It's nothing, I'm just studying this stadium. A professional football stadium with a capacity of 90,000 people is indeed a monument in the history of human architecture!" Gu Fei put his arm around Ronaldo's shoulders and chatted with him about Wembley while walking with him.

Stadium design inspiration.

The study of English football is not limited to the field. System operation and infrastructure construction are all active and important contents.

Wembley Stadium has attracted worldwide attention since the day it was demolished and rebuilt. When Gu Fei was still in high school, Sports Weekly had reported on it many times, which left a deep impression on Gu Fei.

Nowadays, most of the large stadiums in China are track and field fields, and there are no professional football fields. This is actually not very friendly to the creation of a football atmosphere.

Compared with professional football fields where you can watch the game closer, the stands of the comprehensive stadium are too far away from the lawn, so the cheers of the fans are easily dispersed, and the scattered fans cannot create the hottest atmosphere.

Looking at the giant teams in Europe, every one of them has a legendary stadium of its own. It is the combination of the stories of these stadiums and the glorious resume of the team that makes football more attractive.

After entering Wembley Stadium and turning on the lights, Gu Fei saw the 133-meter-high arch at a glance. The total length of the arch is 315 meters, making it the longest single-span roof structure in the world. The Wembley Arch has a very good

The lighting effect is like a beautiful rainbow bridge at night, and it can perfectly complement the famous giant Ferris wheel "London Eye" not far away.

Of course, the Wembley Arch is by no means a simple decoration. The purpose of the Wembley Arch is to use dozens of steel cables to fix the northern roof of the revisited stadium and 60% of the southern roof. Therefore, the new Wembley does not

Like the old stadium, support columns are needed to support the roof, which ensures that the 90,000 seats in the new Wembley have a very good view of the game from every angle.

Gu Fei entered the stadium and put himself in the shoes of himself sitting in the stadium watching the game. He had to praise Wembley's design and builders because they looked at the problem completely from the perspective of the fans.

Perhaps, only with this warm football atmosphere can English football maintain its vitality for hundreds of years.

Playing at Wembley made everyone at Manchester United feel good about this stadium. Everyone felt that it felt great to play in such a stadium!

However, while Gu Fei was chatting and laughing with his teammates, he was thinking about how to increase the number of seats at Old Trafford without affecting the operation of Manchester United.

Currently, Old Trafford can accommodate up to 76,000 seats, which is barely enough for the current Manchester United. However, after Manchester United won the "Four Crowns" and successfully developed the Chinese market, this number of seats seems to be a bit stretched.

The reason why Real Madrid and Barcelona have been able to rise again after countless declines is that, in addition to the attraction of glorious history to players, they also have the Bernabeu, a super stadium that can accommodate 100,000 fans. Camp Nou is crucial among them.

factor.

A huge stadium means more spectators, which means the club can have more stable and larger ticket revenue, which for a team means complete hematopoietic function.

If the number of seats at Old Trafford can be increased to 100,000, with the appeal of Gu Fei and Manchester United, it will definitely be full, and each game can bring at least 4 million pounds or more in tickets to the team.

The income is hundreds of millions of pounds a year. This fund will greatly alleviate the club's huge demand for funds and reduce the investment of the parent company 'Universal Investment' in the club.

When the team bus left Wembley Stadium, Gu Fei looked back at the Wembley Arch that complemented the London Eye, and the scene of him leading his teammates to win the trophy at this stadium flashed through his mind.

…………

The news that the two teams were playing at Wembley quickly spread around the world through the Internet, and fans are full of expectations for the final to be held tomorrow.

As the main theme of English football and even European football this season, the red-blue battle between Manchester United and Chelsea obviously has a strong news nature. In addition to the sports media in various countries sending reporters to prepare to interview the media for the final, some mainstream media and even entertainment, fashion

The media also joined in the fun.

After all, Manchester United has superstars such as Gu Fei and Cristiano Ronaldo who are extremely popular in the fashion industry; Mourinho of Chelsea is a model of a middle-aged uncle and has a large number of fans.

In addition, many financial media also followed up and reported on the English FA Cup final because every championship may increase Gu Fei's net worth by hundreds of millions. Gu Fei is no longer an ordinary football player.

Furthermore, this FA Cup final is a preview of the Champions League final ten days later. Both the media and fans want to see if Mourinho can find a good way to restrain Gu Fei after Chelsea lost two championships?

The war is about to break out!
