David Beckham has revealed he is torn between the “dream” of making his loan move to AC Milan permanent and his contractual obligations to Major League Soccer club Los Angeles Galaxy.
“To play here is the dream of any player,” said Beckham in an interview with Corriere della Sera. “But deciding is not easy; it’s a situation that requires time.
“I am under contract and I have a lot of respect for Galaxy. But the possibility to play at Milan is something special. I knew I would have fun but I didn’t expect to have so much fun.
Uh-oh, it sounds like someone is greasing the skids to get the hell out of here…
Beckham, , whose wife Victoria and three children are back in the United States, knew the level of competition would be nowhere near as good as Europe when he went to America, and admitted that his time in the MLS has been trying.
“I have to admit that, having played in Europe, at times it has been frustrating to take part in certain games (in America),” he said. “But once in a while, going from state to state, I have also had fun.”
Word around the campfire is that he is pretty much decided that he is ok with the decision, but the missus isnt so happy about having to uproot the kids again to move to another non-English speaking country. The way DB is talking though, its sounds an awful like he has pretty much made up his mind
“I feel Milan is very similar to Manchester United,” he said. “It has that kind of tradition that only great clubs have.
“Milan, just like at United, you breathe a particular atmosphere, whether it’s in the training ground, the stadium. And then Milan has that trophy room – this makes you feel special.”
Beckham claimed any nerves over his move to Italy were soon dispelled upon his arrival at the club.
“The first day in Milan’s changing room I was very nervous, like the first day in school,” he said. “But the first true emotion, I felt it when I arrived in December to Milan’s training ground, when I put on the Milan jersey.
“My wife was sitting in front of me and when I put the jersey on and it had the Milan logo, I was in ecstasy.”
