David Beckham Interview

According to Teamtalk David Beckham has given an exclusive interview to Sport Magazine, details here. He is quoted as saying -

On an England recall

"I would walk back from the United States to play for England again," he said.

"I am sure if I am doing well over there, it will not go unnoticed.

"I will always be available to play for my country if I am needed. I am a fit person and a fit player.

"Getting a recall is not my decision is it?

"If it does happen, then amazing. But, if it doesn't, then I am honoured to have played the games I have played, and to have captained my country so many times."
On choosing to go to the US ahead of other offers -
"I don't really want to name the clubs I spoke to, because it wasn't only in England - there were two big clubs in Italy, and one big club in France as well, and they were all very tempting.

"But I have always said that I am a Manchester United fan - that is how I was brought up, and that is how I will always be.

"I feel so passionate for United, even now, that it would have been virtually impossible for me to play for another English team.

"They are my team and I don't think I could have brought myself to play against them for anyone."
On his time at Real Madrid
"We might still win something this season, and it would be amazing to go out on a high,"

"But if that is not the case I won't look back and think of my time at the club as being anything other than successful.

"I have spent four years at one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I have been able to play with so many great players, Zinedine Zidane to name but one.

"Just to be on the same pitch as Zidane was an absolute honour for me. I have had an incredible time and will have no regrets at all."
On his motivations
"I always dreamt of wearing the number seven shirt for United and England, and I have achieved that. Everything else has been more than I could have ever dreamt about," he said.

"I know it is easy for me to say at this stage of my career and in the position that I am in, but at no point has money been my motivation for playing football.

"I dreamt about being a professional footballer from the age of six or seven.

"That is why I got into the game, and that is what continues to drive me on.

"Obviously it is an amazing - and groundbreaking - contract they have offered me, but the challenge of making a difference was far more important."
There is also a report in Marca, quoting both David Beckham and Roberto Carlos as being especially motivated to win La Liga. Becks has said how much he would like to win a title with Madrid before leaving. I know we all hope that this can come true! Source.

don't worry, he knows the situation is not up to him and I think he's already been through the worst of it last year when he was first dropped. I think hes more just saying that he'd really like to and he is available, he's not saying it's going to happen he knows its not up to him. Like he said he had a dream and that dream came true and everything else is like the cherry on top so don't feel sad!
