Visited their training days at the stadium, got some pictures and autographs.
But CURSE ADIDAS for being very unprofessional!!!
Yesterday event (getting autographs of players) at Adidas store in Festival City was a complete chaos!
Customer/fan was forced to buy Adidas-Milan merchandise (e.g. 183 dhs for a shirt, which for some people are not cheap) to take a pass for signatures. All were expecting the players to sign on it. There were hundreds of fans in queue. I was in queue for 3 hours, the front most were there for 5 hours. They open the autograph session only for 10-15 minutes (probably only 10% fans served) and the players left. The rest of the fans got disappointed and angry and yelling "cheaters!", "refund!", etc.
Even though at the end the pass holders were given ONLY a signed card, but still we want to have autographs on the shirt and see the players directly in front of our face.
What worse, they (organizer/security) put the blame on Carlo Ancelotti (coach of Milan) that he and the players decided to return to hotel. Hey! Don't blame Milan staff for your unprofessionalism! If it was very limited time, they could have estimated the time would be spent and distribute only limited numbers of passes. VERY GOOD BUSINESS ADIDAS!!! No Adidas for the sponsor of next year's season!
