and from another news site (translated):
The lawyers' complaint from the South Korean town of Suwon is directed against the organizer The Fasta. "We currently have 2,500 interested parties, and by Wednesday we expect a total of 2,700 plaintiffs who want to get the money back for their tickets," said a lawyer in the firm. She expects the lawsuit to be filed near the end of next week.
According to a report by the Korean television broadcaster SBS, Juventus has made a commitment that Ronaldo will play at least 45 minutes in the friendly and hold a fan meeting. Both agreements were not respected. In addition, the arrival of the Italian team from China was delayed, which led to a delay of the kick by one hour.
"He does not want to"
The Fasta boss Robin Chang burst into tears in the SBS interview, confirming that the contract foresaw that Ronaldo play for 45 minutes. "I was so frustrated," Chang said. When she complained to Juventus Vice-President Pavel Nedved, he replied, "I also wish Ronaldo would play, but he does not want to. I'm sorry, I can not do anything. "
In the sold-out game, the 63,000 spectators in Seoul had paid up to 300 euros for their tickets. When it became apparent that South Korea's hugely popular Ronaldo would not be coming in, the disappointed fans showed their displeasure by singing "Lionel Messi" chanting in the stadium.
