Manchester United Asia Tour 2009 (Training Session)

I know its been 3 days since the training session..Kinda lazy to blog lately..but i gotta update it somehow sometime..

So 17th July was the training session..i reached that around 3pm and entered through the red gate..i was fully packed for a training session plus sokker safari was held at the car park so yea..parking is a bitch..

I was looking for my cousin who came from Dubai in the stadium, before i knew it, i have to walk half of the stadium to the place where he was seated..It was a sunny day but thank god the place i was sitting was covered..

It was 4.30pm where there's finally some activity in the pitch and to my surprise the Malaysian team that came out first for training..they were schedule to have their training session at 6.30pm right after Man Utd's session..I guess they dint want to have their training session in an empty stadium so they decide to give us a lil surprise..

The crowed have been supportive towards both team although some of us did boo'ed the Malaysian player during the training session due to selfish play and mistimed kick..I can see that they were training under a lot of pressure as I think they are not used to trained if front of a large crowd..

My gf found it boring though but that's about to change when Man Utd finally enter the pitch..The crowd went crazy when the first Man Utd player entered the pitch..It was Paul Scholes if i can remember correctly..the training lasted for an hour but i was a good demo of what's to coming during the match day.. Here's some pictures from the training session (for more pictures, check out my Facebook account):
