Walking through the winding streets of London with their typical brick buildings with weathered windows you have to search for it. Then suddenly it is there in front of you. This venerable venue suddenly looms up with an impressive and even mystical presence. Welcome to Wembley.
The Werkself play Tottenham Hotspur (20.45 CET) in tonight’s Champions League group game on what promises to be a breathtaking stage. Up to 90,000 spectators are expected including some 2,000 Leverkusen fans. They will all experience what it means to be surrounded by the spirit of Bobby Moore. The captain of the England World Cup winning team of 1966 is ever-present 23 years after his death as Wembley never forgets its heroes. This venue is full of tradition.
Unforgettable moments
Wembley is more than just a stadium with the venue being a place of many unforgettable moments. When you walk past the bronze statues of English football legends in front of the wooden crossbar Geoff Hurst hit in the 66 World Cup Final to score the famous Wembley goal, every fan feels a shiver. And if you walk down past the red seats towards the hallowed turf then you can hear it again: a beat. This is the home of football.
The hallowed turf, a much used phrase, comes from here. The Wembley turf is famous like no other pitch on the planet and if you watch the ground staff at work then you have to rub your eyes in disbelief as a layman. Their hard work and dedication is difficult to beat. The groundsman will only give the thumbs up when he has checked the ball runs exactly as required in all directions in the centre circle. Then the game can begin. Wembley is set to provide another night to remember.
It has been a long time since feeling what it’s like to come away empty-handed. The last – and so far only – defeat of the season, in Elversberg, was two months ago. Since then, Bayer 04 have followed that up with seven wins and a draw. Now it has happened again away to TSG Hoffenheim. As the match progressed, the Werkself grew in confidence and “could even have scored the opening goal”, as Robert Andrich said after the game. In the end, it was the side from Sinsheim who sealed a 3–0 victory after “hectic closing stages” (kicker). The Werkself review.
