I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Another classic event at Wembley Stadium is the only hat-trick in the finals so far.

You know, hat tricks often happen, but in a game like the finals, although the two sides are not completely evenly matched, they are definitely teams with two good skills, and usually the difference in strength is not too great.

And even if there is a gap in strength, players from both sides will do their homework in advance and stare at the opponent's main scorer to limit their scoring ability.

这也是为什么明明两支球队在平时都是狂攻型球队，但在关键的总决赛中，总是会打出1:0、1:1、2:1这样的小球比分来的原因。

Therefore, when both sides are basically evenly matched, both sides have done enough homework in advance, and both sides are very cautious, it is definitely not easy to score a hat trick.

The only hat trick at Wembley Stadium this time was actually a double hat trick.

This classic event is called the "Matthews Final". In 1953, Matthews, who was already 38 years old, announced his comeback for this English League Cup final, and at the age of 38, he completed three times on the court. Assisted a hat-trick, helped Blackpool forward Stan Mortensen complete a goal hat-trick, and helped the team defeat Bolton 4:3 and win the FA Cup.

After that, no team could achieve the feat of completing a hat trick in the Finals.

The new Wembley Stadium was completed in 2007, and this renovation also gave this century-old stadium a new look.

The most impressive thing about the new Wembley Stadium is the 133-meter-high arch on the stadium. The total length of the arch is 315 meters, making it the longest single-span roof structure in the world.

The main function of the arch at Wembley Stadium is lighting. The light it emits at night is like a beautiful rainbow bridge, which echoes the famous London Eye not far away.

温布利大球场的看台总共分为三层，下层总共有3万4千多个座位，中层有1万6千多个座位，上层有3万9千多个座位。

The stadium is equipped with two large screens, each of which is as large as 600 ordinary TV sets.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the new Wembley Stadium has a total of 2618 toilets, setting a Guinness World Record.

The turf of Wembley Stadium is also the top turf in the world. As a five-star stadium certified by European football clubs, Wembley Stadium has professionals maintaining the turf almost every day to ensure the best playing condition of the turf.

After the four-hour training session, Southampton's players returned to the hotel, had dinner and began to rest.

The reason why the club booked the hotel one day in advance is so that Southampton players do not need to travel long distances before the game.

Not to mention Southampton Club, Tottenham Club is obviously in London, but for this game, Tottenham Club also specially booked a hotel near Wembley Stadium early so that its players could fully rest.

Originally, Tottenham could take the bus to Wembley Stadium in half an hour, but after booking the hotel, it only takes 5 minutes to take the bus to Wembley Stadium.

Forget it, the reduced travel time is not much, but even if it can reduce the physical burden of the players a little bit, it is very important for both teams in the final.

Of course, the biggest problem is how to restrain the players.

When these energetic players get together, it is inevitable that they will not do anything like clubbing before the game.

Not to mention the lack of self-discipline among South American players, even German players, who are always known for their self-discipline, have stories of drinking wine before big games.

As for British players, this behavior is also very common. There was even a case where a well-known captain took the team to a bar to sing. As a result, two of the team's main players clashed, and one of them picked up a golf club. An attack on the opponent's butt.

Fortunately, the Southampton team's discipline is still good. Adkins strictly requires all players to stay in the house, go to bed early, and are not allowed to go out without permission.

At 9: p.m., after Gu Ran finished a set of strength training in his room and was getting ready to go to bed, his cell phone rang.

Gu Ran picked it up and saw that it was Peter Crouch calling.

The war was about to begin, and Mr. Gao actually called...    Gu Ran thought about it, and finally decided to pick up the phone and listen to what he had to say.

"Hi!" The voices around Crouch were extremely noisy, "Hey Gu! Can you hear me? I'm your big brother Crouch! I'm in the bar at Wembley Stadium! It's so lively here ! Abi is here too! She wants to see you! Come out and play!"

Damn it...

Gu Ran said quickly: "Hey, Peter, I'm sorry I've already gone to bed. Besides, we have a competition tomorrow. We shouldn't meet for entertainment at this time, right?"

Crouch smiled and said: "Haha! Gu, you are too rigid! Come on, come on, just come out to meet and chat, I promise! I will definitely let you go back to bed before 11 o'clock! Besides, between the two of us, Given my personal physical condition, even if I play until 12 o'clock tonight, will it still delay tomorrow's game?"

Gu Ran continued to refuse: "I'm really sorry Peter, I respect you very much. If you can invite me, of course I will be willing to go to the appointment, but not today."

"Give it to me! Let me talk to him!" Abby Clancy grabbed the phone, "Hi, Gu, it's me, I'm your Abby."

Damn it...

So disgusting!

If I go out, I won't be able to come back just at 12 o'clock tonight.

Moreover, as soon as he heard Abby Clancy's voice, Gu Ran's mind could not help but flash a series of photos of Abby Clancy's private photos in the form of a slideshow.

The latest one was sent last night, and Gu Ran was extremely impressed.

To say that Abby Clancy was really persistent, Gu Ran was even a little moved.

But Gu Ran is still a serious person after all, "Hello Abi... Goodbye Abi!"

After saying that, Gu Ran hung up the phone and turned off the phone.

This is called...rejection at the drop of a hat!

There's nothing I can do. I used to be able to resist Abi's lust, but now that my physical fitness is so high and my physique is so good, even if I'm really a serious person, I can't sleep easily at night!

In order not to affect tomorrow's game, Gu Ran just turned off his phone no matter how polite or impolite he was!

After a while, Gu Ran fell asleep.

It wasn't until early the next morning that Gu Rancai stretched beautifully and got up to do basic exercises.

After breakfast, Adkins led the players to leave the hotel and take the bus to Wembley Stadium.

The hotel entrance was still surrounded by a large number of media reporters and crazy Saints fans.

The fans held banners and sang Gu Ran's song to cheer for the Southampton team.

Every Southampton player on the bus was infected by the spirit of the fans and all excited.

When the bus arrived at Wembley Stadium, coach Adkins led the players to the away locker room for static training and tactical review.

Before lunch, the press conference was held in advance.
