Real hit Beijing high on Beckmania
13 April 2012
The mania surrounding David Beckham showed no signs of abating when hundreds of fans greeted the midfielder and his Real Madrid teammates as they arrived in Beijing.
The team is preparing for a match at the Workers' Stadium tomorrow against an all-star Chinese team, when Beckham is expected to make his Real Madrid debut.
Hundreds of fans outside the team's hotel in central Beijing held up pictures of players and chanted "David come out!" as the team's bus pulled up.
The Beijing Hotel plans to auction pillows, pyjamas and other items used by the team to raise money for children of hospital workers who died during the Sars outbreak.
