Swamped by fans, a swift kick about in a suit and a Beijing Football shirt: Day 2 of Beckham mania in China

He received a hero's welcome when he landed on Chinese soil and the adoration continued as David Beckham headed to Beijing's number one football club.
Beckham, who is the country as China's first global football ambassador, was swamped with fans outside Beijing Guo'an Football Club at Workers Stadium, many of whom were screaming and holding up pictures of the former England captain.
Wearing a smart navy suit David grinned at his fans as he arrived and even had time for a kick around with some young football fans at the stadium.

The 37-year-old has vowed to help develop young players in the crisis hit country after a spate of footballing corruption scandals.
But former Manchester United player David said he isn't concerned about the match-fixing scandals in China, with several players and officials sentenced to prison.
'I'm not here to clean up anything. I'm here to educate the children and give them a chance to become professional footballers,' Beckham said.

Beckham, who was linked with a move to play in the Chinese Super League after leaving the Los Angeles Galaxy in December, also said he hasn't ruled out playing professionally in China someday.
'Who knows? People keep saying that it will be my last club, it will be my last season,' said the 37-year-old midfielder, now with Paris Saint-Germain. 'I continue to play and I love playing, so we'll see.'
Beckham is due to play an exhibition game in China in November, five months after his contract with PSG expires. If he opts to retire by then, the match could mark the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star's swansong before he switches focus to his career off the field.

Developing a youth program is considered a priority for the CSL, with a mere 8,000 players of all ages registered at local associations in a football-mad nation of 1.3 billion people.
Beckham indicated he would take a strong interest in inspiring and training talented young players who might one day represent their nation internationally.
"I think it's important that we get a process in hand," he said.
