In 1983, the Minnesota Vikings and St. Louis Cardinals of the United States brought NFL games to Wembley for the first time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wembley has also hosted a large number of concerts and concerts, and many famous singer groups have performed here. Among them, Michael Jackson's "Bad Tour" tour in 1988 held 7 concerts at Wembley, each concert with an audience of more than 70,000 people, and a total audience of 504,000 people, setting a Guinness World Record.

As we approach the 21st century, the old Wembley is becoming more and more aged, and although it is a football mecca, it is no longer able to meet the demands of modern football. The FA ultimately opted to demolish Wembley Stadium, even the famous Wembley Towers that fans wanted to keep when the stadium was rebuilt.

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

On 7 October 2000, the final game of the old Wembley was played between Germany and England, with Germany's Dietmar Hamann scoring the winner and becoming the last player to score at Wembley, a defeat that led to the sacking of England manager Kevin Keegan.

Opened in 2007 and hosted the FA Cup final that year, the new £780 million stadium is a modern, high-tech stadium with 90,000 features and a floating roof, making it the world's largest top-capping stadium, with a 133-metre-high, 315-metre-long arch making it the world's longest single-span roof.

Far from being a simple ornament, the arch was used to secure the north and 60% south of Wembley Stadium from the north side of the roof with dozens of steel cables. Therefore, the new Wembley does not need to be supported by support columns to support the roof like the old stadium, which can ensure that the 90,000 seats of the new Wembley have a very good view from every angle.

The new Wembley is a UEFA five-star football stadium that can host all kinds of top competitions, and the stands are divided into three levels, with 34,303 seats on the lower level, 16,532 seats on the middle level and 39,165 seats on the upper level.

The stadium also features two large screens, each the size of 600 ordinary televisions.

The stadium has a total of 2,618 toilets, setting a Guinness World Record.

Interestingly, the first game of the new Wembley was actually a charity match, with the Jeff Thomas Charity Foundation beating the Wembley Sponsor Stars 2-0.

The first professional match was a 3-3 draw between England Under-21s and Italy Under-21s on 24 March 2007, with Italy's Giamolo Pazzini becoming the first professional to score at Wembley and the first to score a hat-trick.

David Bentley became the first England player to score at the new Wembley.

New Wembley's first FA Cup final was played on 19 May 2007 against Manchester United and Chelsea, with Chelsea winning the title thanks to a goal from Didier Drogba, making Chelsea the first team to win at New Wembley and the most at New Wembley Stadium.

England's first match against New Wembley was a 1-1 draw with Brazil on 1 June 2007.

In addition to hosting England matches, promotion play-offs at all levels of the English league and all domestic finals, the new Wembley will also host the FA Cup semi-finals, which have been played at Old Trafford and Villa Park.

The move has been criticised by some as a 'price drop' for the semi-final, with David Moyes believing that only the final deserves Wembley.

Public opinion believes that the FA's move is entirely to host more matches in order to pay off the loan for the construction of the stadium.

On 23 August 2007, England suffered their first defeat at new Wembley, beaten by old rivals Germany.

On 22 November 2007, England lost 3-2 to Croatia at Wembley and missed out on Euro 2008 finals.

After the completion of the new Wembley, the 2011 Champions League final returned to Wembley, and Barcelona defeated the "host" Manchester United 3-1 to win the 2011 Champions League.

The new stadium was a huge success in hosting its first Champions League final, and in reward for the 2013 Champions League final at Wembley, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich beat fellow Borussia Dortmund 2-1 to lift the European Cup for the fifth time.

This is the seventh time London has hosted a Champions League final in record, and no stadium in history has ever hosted the Champions League final twice in three years, and this time it is said to mark the FA's 150th anniversary.

This season, Tottenham put the Champions League home at Wembley, and as a result, after the group stage, Tottenham could only participate in the Europa League as the third in the group, and as a result, in the first round of the Europa League knockout round, it was eliminated with an aggregate score of 2-3, and was blackened by the British media for a while.

Although the new Wembley Stadium will not bring Tottenham a lot of money in the Champions League, with Tottenham set to expand their new home stadium, the new Wembley Stadium will be the home of Tottenham's league and cup competitions from next season until their White Hart Lane stadium is expanded.

"Mesut, Mesut, this is your blessed land, hehe, bless us to kill Manchester City, we will be the double next month!" Zhang Zhetian said with a grin to Mesut Ozil.

Confused, Mesut Ozil told him a piece of news he had seen on the net.

Wembley is a blessed land for Mesut Ozil, who has played four games at the stadium, winning four of them and providing two assists.

Ozil smiled and patted Zhetian on the shoulder: "This one wins, let's go eat Chinese food." ”

"You're in for a treat?"

"I have a hunch that you will be the best player again, of course you please."

Zhang Zhetian shook off Ozil's hand, with a disgusted expression, flew him a roll of his eyes, and sent him a word: "Get out!" ”

came to Héctor Bellerin, and said with a disgusted face: "After the game, go and give me a bald haircut, it's okay to get such an ugly hairstyle to disgust Lao Tzu!" ”

After returning from Spain, and not knowing what irritated him, Bellerin had a straw cut, and his hair was braided into a dense twist.

Heartthrobs David Beckham and Andy Carroll both wore this hairstyle, but the effect was really flattering.

In the two-day training session, after Bellerin's new hairstyle was unveiled, he was disliked by his teammates, and Zhang Zhetian even asked him to get a bald head and regrow his hair, otherwise he would not let him play.

Bellerin looked at Zhang Zhetian resentfully, and saw him raise his big slap and twitch his mouth.
