The camp,which was part of the second half preparation of the 2008-2009 European season generated a lot of public and media attention...mainly because of a small time footballer by the name of David Beckham who just recently moved to the club, joining the likes of Kaka, Ronaldinho and Maldini.
A week long training was held daily at Al-Nasr Sports Club, and as a huge Rossoneri tifosi it is only right for me to checkout them out. My good friend Jamel was there too.
after 2 hours of training/match practice the mob of fan waited patiently for players to come out for some autograph signing.
i manage to get paolo's...ronaldinho was very accommodating too, and he got the loudest cheer from the crowd. Becks? damn...he wanted to smooch my face...its a narrow escape though

Part of the training agenda was a friendly match against German Bundesliga side, Hamburg SV dubbed 'Dubai Football Challenge' , which was held at the Emirates' The Sevens Stadium on January 6.
Went to enjoy the game along with Joker, Sufian, Kamil and Munyra. But damn...we were caught in a massive traffic jam leading up to the stadium and arrived there quite late...the match has gone almost halfway thru
the game ended 1-1 after 90 minutes, and Milan prevailed 4-3 on penalties (matchnews here)
There was a funny scene after the match though, as Joker's car was stucked in the sand...fortunately a policeman manage to bail us out
...I had to be a part-time police traffic while the vehicle was towed...haha

flashback at the Al-Nasr Club training ground a few days earlier:
It's not everyday that you could get a photo together with Joker...apparently some football stars wouldn't miss this golden chance
note- a slice of Joker's charm: a few days after this pic was snapped, Pato scored two goals in Milan 2-2 draw with AS Roma in an Italian Serie A match at Stadio Olympico, Rome (highlight here)
