But it did not matter to the 10,000 odd crowd who came to catch their favourite Chelsea stars in action.
The team arrived at the stadium from their hotel at about 7pm to chants of Chelsea, Chelsea throughout the stadium.
There was a deafening roar when the announcer first introduced new manager Andre Villas-Boas followed by his assistant and Blues old boy Roberto Di Matteo.
Blues captain John Terry then led the team out of the tunnel to the delight of the fans.
But the biggest cheer was saved for £50mil signing Fernando Torres.
Villas-Boas, the youngest ever Premier League manager, then put his players through a series of warm-up drills before having a 9-9 practice match which delighted the crowd.
Chelsea will face a Malaysian Selection at 8.45pm tomorrow at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
