Finally, they're back in
KL!
Back in 2001, I went to watch the training and match that were held in the same venue,
Bukit Jalil National Stadium :) It was their first since the last visit in 1980's.
Then, there were the likes of
Fabien Barthez,
David Beckham,
Ruud van Nistelrooy and
Jaap Stam - to name a few
:) Besides that, there were also 3 old timers whom I've seen them -
Gary Neville,
Ryan Giggs and
Paul Scholes.
8 years on, and the line up is different now. Was really excited with the arrival of
ManUtd, especially
Cristiano Ronaldo. But he opted a move to
Real Madrid about 3 weeks before
ManUtd's tour to
Asia. It was rather disappointing but I'm not gonna let that pull me down!
It was July 18th, 2009. Approximately 2:30pm...
Here are the photos when we first arrived;
Good to have them to support the yellow-black stripes :) Everyone looks the same to me (from the back) Just as I like it :) Woot~ Small section of Malaysia supports Malaysia team out for warming up session #7: ManUtd latest signing - Michael Owen Great achievement by the national side after 70 minutes! These are some of the photos that I've posted here. For more of the actions, click here ;)Was unable to meet up with
Jesmine,
Kana and
Robin after the game due to the massive flow of human traffic leaving the place. But bumped into
Samuel, somehow
:)Left
Bukit Jalil at approximately 8:30pm and reached
Kelana Jaya at 9pm. We then had a quick dinner before I went home for a nice shower and go to bed
:)It's truly an amazing experience. I may not be there for the game, but I'm there for the passion and for the team that I've supported since
1998 :)So, the next time they were to come again, I will be sure to be there!
