El Real Madrid tuvo que pedir disculpas el domingo a cientos de aficionados
chinos que esperaban ver entrenar a sus ídolos y que finalmente no pudieron
tener ningún tipo de contacto con el inglés David Beckham ni con las demás
estrellas del club. Directivos del Madrid y del gobierno provincial de Yunnan,
donde el elenco blanco entrena durante una semana entre pantanos, montañas y una
niebla fantasmagórica, se disculparon el domingo ante la prensa presente por las
confusiones que generaron críticas de parte de los medios de comunicación
locales. En la imagen, David Beckham y Zinedine Zidane en un entrenamiento
