No. 787: The FA Cup final is here!

The FA Cup final against Stoke City became the most important game for Arsenal at the moment.

As long as they win the FA Cup, they will be able to achieve their goal at the beginning of the season – to successfully defend the double!

Arsene Wenger is stepping up his preparations.

Stoke City are also gearing up their preparations, having yet to win the world's oldest cup and are looking to make new history.

The media generally believed that Arsenal had a better chance of winning the title, after all, they had the upper hand.

The Daily Mail said: "Although Arsenal lost 3-1 at the foot of Stoke City in the just-concluded Premier League game, Arsenal did not have a main player on the pitch in that game!

Arsenal's defeat in that game only proved one thing - the Gunners really didn't have enough depth on the bench.

Arsene Wenger will certainly field his full squad in this weekend's FA Cup final and the situation will change completely. With Robin van Persie returning from injury, Arsenal's attacking power has become stronger, and Chan has played a bigger role.

In the match against Manchester United, which was about defending the Premier League title three rounds ahead of schedule, Robin van Persie, who returned from injury, scored twice and was a big contributor to the team's victory.

His two goals, both of which were scored unmarked, were inseparable from Chen, except for his elegant running.

Chen's dribbling drive drew the attention of United's entire defence, giving Van Persie plenty of room to play.

Together, the Dutch duo is the sharpest strike combination in world football today.

Since they became partners, no team has been able to stop them from scoring!

This is an extremely horrible thing that no one has ever done before!

Stoke City will have an almost impossible task of stopping them from scoring, the only thing left to do is to let them score as little as possible and then score more of their own.

In this way, it is possible to cause an upset, beat Arsenal and win the FA Cup for the first time in the club's 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 the flag for them.

On the other hand, it is related to Ferguson's statement, since the lord expressed interest in Chen Fan, the media in Manchester City no longer attacked Chen Fan.

This aspect also shows Sir Alex Ferguson's influence on the city of Manchester!

May 14 is the day of the 37th round of the Premier League and the day of the FA Cup final.

The final between Arsenal and Stoke City is scheduled for 8pm at the neutral Wembley Stadium!

This stadium is also the venue for this season's Champions League final!

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

First, they will be aiming to defend the FA Cup by beating Stoke City to defend the FA Cup.

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, the night falls in London, and the lights of Wembley Stadium are lit up, which is very beautiful.

This majestic stadium is home to the English football team and is also home to the final of the domestic cup competition.

It was at this stadium that Arsenal beat Chelsea last year to achieve the Double!

Originally built in 1923 and rebuilt in 2007, the course is widely regarded as the greatest in the world.

This stadium witnessed England's glory moment in the 1966 World Cup!

Wembley Stadium looks like a very traditional sporting building, showcasing the work of the designer, with a façade clad in reinforced concrete, a precursor to the structuralist architectural style. This ancient reinforced concrete surface feels as if it was built with ordinary building materials, or as if it was painted with plaster.

Wembley Stadium is a long pitch with two semi-circles at both ends to match the shape of the runway, and the stands have been built to be longitudinal and capable of accommodating 60,000 spectators. Wembley Stadium is 105 metres long and 69.5 metres wide. To ensure drainage, the centre of the pitch is 25 cm higher than the sideline.

As for the design of the grandstand structure, the construction of transverse passages, staircases and the opening of each individual grandstand area were adopted. Similarly, the roof was longitudinal, and in the 1920s it would not have been technically feasible if the stadium roof had not been built without the use of pillars.

Wembley Stadium, like other stadiums built before the war, has its flaws in this regard, and the view of spectators when enjoying the game is somewhat affected. Next to Wembley Stadium is the Imperial Natatorium, where the Olympic swimming competitions are held.

The first football match hosted by Wembley was the FA Cup final on 28 April 1923 against West Ham United and Bolton Wanderers. At that time, there were no tickets for the game, and fans could enter the stadium by paying a fee at the entrance of the stadium.

As a result, Wembley Stadium, with a design capacity of 127,000 people, was flooded with 240,000 fans!

Many fans were even squeezed into the stadium before the game, resulting in a delay in the start of the game.

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

The footage of Skore riding a white horse slowly through the crowd has become the most vivid memory of that race, even more than the race itself. As a result, the FA Cup final was known as the 'White Horse Final', and Bolton beat West Ham United 2-0 to win that final.

The official tally for the final was 127,000, but it is widely estimated that the total number of fans attending the match was 240,000 or more, which is probably the largest attendance in history.

To commemorate the famous 'White Horse Final', the FA named the bridge leading to the city after the completion of the new Wembley Stadium in 2007.

The 1966 World Cup Finals hosted the opening and final matches of the World Cup.

On July 30, 1966, 98,000 fans witnessed England 4-2 after defeating the Federal Republic of Germany. Moore led the team along the famous 39 steps of Wembley Stadium into the Royal Box and received the Remet Cup from the Queen's ******, which became the most glorious moment in English football history.

Exactly 30 years after England last won a major title, Wembley has once again been given a big responsibility. She hosted the opening game, semi-finals, final and all competitions in which England played at Euro 1996.

However, England suffered a disappointing defeat to Germany at Wembley in the semi-finals, and in the end, Germany beat the Czech Republic in the final to win the Delaunay Cup in the Royal Box.

Old Wembley has hosted five Champions League finals, the joint-most of the Champions League finals along with Belgium's Heysel.

The first was in 1963, when AC Milan and Benfica faced off, and Milan won the first Champions League in the club's history.

The second was in 1968, when United became the first English team to win the Champions League by beating Benfica 4-1 in extra-time.

In 1971, Ajax and Panathinachs were welcomed here, with Cruyff's Ajax winning the title and starting their third consecutive Champions League title.

In 1978, Liverpool won the Champions League at Wembley Stadium with a narrow 1-0 win over Club Brugge of Belgium thanks to a goal from Dalglish.

The last time the old Wembley Stadium hosted a Champions League final was in 1992, when Cruyff's Barcelona Dream Team defeated Sampdoria to win the first Champions League trophy in the club's history.
