DISAPPOINTED football fans complained bitterly on Wednesday night and they were at it again yesterday at Hong Kong Stadium.

Many thought the Real Madrid squad put no effort into their drills.

Some had arrived at the venue as early as 6am, but the players didn't walk on the pitch until 11am.

'Why don't they make an announcement if they are going to be late?' said Kenny Cheung, 25, from Aberdeen.

'It was a waste of money and manpower to have everyone here waiting so early in the morning. I can't see the stars as they are too far away - they're not doing anything special, I'm bored and hot and hungry, that's why I'm leaving before the end,' said Mr Cheung.

Some fans were more forgiving and one said it was just typical that Hong Kong people complain no matter how lucky they are.

'It's no problem - you can't blame them,' said Paul Chai, 30, who took his friend's son to yesterday's event.
