#3 Wembley pitch bigger than normal English pitches
The Wembley pitch is often considered a difficult surface to play on. A lot of players have suffered from infamous cramps and gone down more easily than they have on other stadiums. The phrase 'energy-sapping' is often used, almost as if the hallowed turf has some magical powers.
But the real reason behind these injuries is the moment itself. Playing in Wembley is probably one of the biggest moments in a footballer’s career. Players are obviously going to try harder and get exhausted quicker. The situation is what matters, not the pitch.
When matches taking place at Wembley are televised, the pitch looks massive. In reality, however, the pitch measures 105 metres long and 68 metres wide, which is smaller than a number of current Premier League clubs.
