Chapter 792 Chapter 787: The FA Cup final is here!

The FA Cup final with Stoke City has become the most important game for Arsenal up and down.

As long as they win the FA Cup, they will be able to complete their goal at the beginning of the season-successful defense of the double crown!
Wenger is stepping up his preparations.

Stoke City is also stepping up their preparations. They have never won the world's oldest cup championship, and they want to create a new history.

The media generally believe that Arsenal's chances of winning the championship are greater, after all, their strength is superior.

The Daily Mail said: "Although Arsenal lost [-]-[-] to Stoke City in the just-concluded Premier League game, Arsenal did not have a main player on the field in that game!

Arsenal's defeat in that game can only prove one thing-the Gunners' bench depth is really not enough.

Wenger will definitely send his full force to play in this weekend's FA Cup final, and the situation will completely change.With the return of Van Persie from injury, Arsenal's attack power has become stronger, and Chen has played a greater role.

In the game against Manchester United, which was about defending the Premier League title three rounds ahead of schedule, Van Persie, who returned from injury, scored twice, which was an important contributor to the team's victory.

His two goals were scored unmarked, except for his elegant running position, they are inseparable from Chen.

Chen's breakthrough with the ball attracted the attention of Manchester United's entire defense, which gave Van Persie a lot of room to play.

The perfect combination, the Dutch Shuangsha is the sharpest striker combination in world football today.

No team has been able to stop them from scoring goals since they became partners!
This is an extremely terrifying thing, and no one has ever done it before!

It is almost impossible for Stoke City to prevent them from scoring goals. The only thing to do is to let them score as few goals as possible, and then score more goals themselves.

Only in this way can there be an upset, defeating Arsenal and winning the first FA Cup championship in club history. "

This time the media in Manchester City did not stand up and cheer for Stoke City. On the one hand, they may think that Stoke City has little chance of winning, and it is a waste of saliva to wave flags for them.

On the other hand, it was related to Ferguson's statement. Ever since Sir Alex Ferguson expressed his interest in Chen Fan, the Manchester City media stopped attacking Chen Fan.

It can also be seen from this aspect that Sir Alex Ferguson's influence on the city of Manchester City!
May 30th is the day of the seventh round of No.[-] Premier League matches, and it is also the day of the FA Cup final.

The final between Arsenal and Stoke City is scheduled for [-] pm, and the venue is the neutral Wembley Stadium!
This stadium is also the venue of this season's Champions League final!

So, for Arsenal, the FA Cup final against Stoke has a double meaning.

First of all, they strive to defeat Stoke City and defend the FA Cup, thus achieving a double crown defense.

Secondly, they can be regarded as adapting to the venue of the Champions League final in advance, which will play a big role in the Champions League final.

At six o'clock, night falls in London, and the lights of Wembley Stadium are lit up, which is really beautiful.

This magnificent stadium is the official home of the English football team and is also the venue for the final of domestic cup competitions.

Wembley Stadium appears to be a very traditional sports building, showing the characteristics of the designer's work. The outer wall is covered with reinforced concrete, which is the forerunner of the structuralist architectural style.This ancient reinforced concrete surface gives the impression that it was built with common building materials, or that it was coated with stucco plaster.

The two ends of the Wembley Stadium's lengthwise field are two semicircles, corresponding to the shape of the runway, and the stands are also built into a lengthwise shape, which can accommodate 6 spectators. Wembley Stadium is 105 meters long and 69.5 meters wide.To ensure drainage, the center of the court is 25 cm higher than the sidelines.

As for the design of the stand structure, methods such as the construction of transverse passages, stairs and the opening of each individual stand area were adopted.The roof is also lengthwise, and in the 1920s it would have been technically impossible to construct a stadium roof without the use of pillars.

Like other stadiums built before the war, Wembley Stadium also has certain shortcomings in this regard, and the sight of the audience when enjoying the game is affected to a certain extent.Next to Wembley Stadium, there is a swimming pool, the Empire Swimming Pool, where the Olympic swimming competitions are held.

Wembley hosted the first football match on April 1923, 4 in the FA Cup final between West Ham and Bolton.At that time, there were no tickets for the game, and fans only had to pay at the entrance of the stadium to enter the stadium to watch the game.

As a result, 12 fans flooded Wembley Stadium, which was designed to hold 7000 people!
Before the game, many fans were even squeezed into the field, resulting in the delay of the kick-off.

At this time, George Score, a mounted policeman, rode his white horse with difficulty to guide the fans back to the stands, and the game barely kicked off.

The shot of Skoley riding a white horse slowly through the crowd has become people's deepest memory of that game, even surpassing the game itself.Therefore, this FA Cup final is called the "White Horse Final" in history, and in the end Bolton defeated West Ham United 2-0 to win that final.

The official count of the final was 127 spectators, but it is generally estimated that the total number of fans who entered the game was 000 or even more than 24. This may be the football match with the largest number of spectators in history, but there is no accurate statistics so far.

To commemorate this famous "White Horse Final", after the completion of the new Wembley Stadium in 2007, the Football Association named a bridge leading to the city from the stadium "White Horse Bridge".

The 1966 World Cup final hosted the opening match and final of the World Cup.

On July 1966, 7, 30 fans witnessed England's 98000:4 defeat of the West Germany, led by captain Bobby Moore, the team walked down the famous 2 steps of Wembley Stadium into the royal box, and took over the Rimit Cup from the Queen's hand, which became the most glorious moment in the history of English football.

A full 30 years after England last won a major title, Wembley is being tasked once again.She hosted the Euro 1996 opener, semi-finals, final and all matches played by England.

However, England lost to the German team in the semi-final at Wembley. In the end, the German team defeated the Czech team in the final and won the Delaunay Cup in the royal box.

The Old Wembley Stadium has hosted the UEFA Champions League final five times, and is tied for the most UEFA Champions League finals with Belgium's Heysel Stadium.

The first time was in 1963, when AC Milan and Benfica played against each other here, and finally Milan won the first UEFA Champions League in the history of the club.

The second time was in 1968, when Manchester United defeated Benfica 4:1 in overtime to win the championship, becoming the first English team to win the Champions League.

In 1971, Ajax and Panathinaikos ushered in here. Ajax led by Cruyff won the championship and started their three consecutive Champions League titles.

In 1978, Liverpool won the Champions League with a 1-0 victory over Belgium's Bruges at Wembley Stadium with a goal by Dalglish.

The last time the Old Wembley Stadium hosted the Champions League final was in 1992. The Barcelona dream team led by Johan Cruyff defeated Sampdoria and won the first Champions League trophy in club history.
