"Yes, I'm going to challenge you!" When Donovan finally heard Chen Lin say this to Beckham, he didn't feel much satisfaction, because he didn't feel the slightest hostility between Chen Lin and Beckham.

Moreover, Beckham's calm reaction also made Donovan quite unhappy.

Beckham still had a charming smile on his face, he handed the signed jersey back to Chen Lin, and looked at Chen Lin with the same serious expression: "I look forward to you being able to surpass me!" ”

This is Beckham's true words, it is definitely not a hypocritical perfunctory, Beckham has never been a stingy person, he will not take Chen Lin's face-to-face challenge to him too seriously, let alone feel that Chen Lin's approach is a challenge to his authority.

On the contrary, Beckham is still faintly happy, his life in the United States is too comfortable, if Chen Lin can show some strength that threatens him at this time, Beckham's long-relaxed nerves will become excited again.

Despite Beckham's active business activities off the pitch, he has never forgotten that he is a professional footballer and loves the challenges and passions on the pitch.

And Chen Lin's challenge brought Beckham a long-lost throbbing in his nerves, because according to Beckham's understanding, Chen Lin really has the strength to challenge him!

David Beckham is a very professional player, and although it is widely believed that he came to the MLS in the United States to retire, Beckham has pushed back against the perception with his own efforts, as evidenced by his loan spell at AC Milan for two consecutive seasons.

At the same time, keeping an eye on the MLS draft is also part of Beckham's professionalism, and when he was on vacation, he got to know his new teammates for the new season, not only Chen Lin, but also the other two draft players who were drafted by the LA Galaxy were also thoroughly understood by Beckham.

Of course, what impressed Beckham the most was Chen Lin, especially the ultra-long-distance goal scored by Chen Lin in the main selection game, which reminded Beckham of his youth.

As far back as I can remember, it was 1996, fifteen years ago, when David Beckham broke the opposition's goal with a long-range lob from midfield.

It was from that goal that Beckham entered the eyes of more fans, and he officially went to the world.

Beckham knows how difficult it is to score such a goal, which requires players to have precise footwork, a wider field of vision on the pitch, and a little bit of luck, because if the opponent's goalkeeper is not always in front, then it is difficult to threaten the opponent's goal from a distance......

And Chen Lin was able to score such a goal, even if it was not scored in an official game, but only scored in a draft game, which is enough to prove that he is as good as he was when he was young.

At least that's what Beckham himself thinks, that's why he is willing to accept Chen Lin's challenge, so he will say to Chen Lin that he expects him to surpass himself.

Beckham is really old, and if he can have a good opponent or junior before retiring, he will be happier himself......

Of course, it is definitely not an easy thing for Chen Lin to surpass Beckham, although Beckham's physical condition has declined greatly, but after all, he is a former international superstar, how can he be so easy to be surpassed?

And more importantly, Beckham has no intention of being easily surpassed by Chen Lin, so how could his expectation not be a response to Chen Lin's challenge?

Want to surpass me? Well, I'm looking forward to that day!

Chen Lin understood Beckham's meaning, he was even more excited about it, if it was a fighting Beckham, I am afraid that Chen Lin would also feel that it was not interesting to challenge him, but now it is different, Beckham showed his fighting spirit, he will go all out in the process of being challenged by Chen Lin!

This makes Chen Lin quite happy, to be able to play with his idol since childhood, this is simply something that only exists in dreams, and now, the dream has become a reality, Chen Lin has joined the Los Angeles Galaxy, and the passionate years when he and Beckham are teammates and opponents are about to begin.

※※※

For Chen Lin's challenge, Beckham readily agreed and did not show any different emotions, but the media reporters blew up. On the second day of the LA Galaxy's training camp, almost all sports media newspapers published photos of Chen Lin and David Beckham standing together.

"Both an idol and an opponent, Chen Lin found Beckham on the first day he joined the LA Galaxy!"

"Sports Illustrated" reported on this matter with a more objective attitude, and in their report, the most important thing mentioned was Chen Lin's ability to create topics.

"This is simply a troublemaker, wherever he goes, there will be turmoil. Just after switching from the NFL to MLS, Chen Lin boldly challenged Beckham! ”

"Sports Illustrated" is completely a lively attitude, and they are more ridiculing Chen Lin.

However, not every sports media is willing to watch the excitement, and the Los Angeles Sports Newspaper took the lead in attacking Chen Lin.

"Challenge David Beckham? Chen Lin really thought that he scored an ultra-long-distance goal in the main selection match and could be compared to Beckham? We have to admit that today's Chen Lin is very similar to Beckham in terms of playing style, and his footwork is also very accurate, but this does not mean that he has the strength to challenge Beckham! ”

"Chen Lin is just a rookie who defected from the NFL, what qualifications does he have to challenge Beckham, the No. 1 star in the MLS? He's on the LA Galaxy, and he's not even a substitute for Beckham! ”

"Los Angeles Sports News" is right, Chen Lin can only be a substitute for Beckham in the LA Galaxy team.

"Chen Lin is so unruly, his transition from the rugby league to the professional football league has just calmed down, but it has caused an even bigger storm."

"Chen Lin's approach was considered a provocation and an insult by Beckham fans, and his indiscretion has once again become synonymous with Chen Lin, who has angered American football fans and football fans as well as Beckham fans around the world......"

"Los Angeles Sports" is telling the truth, after just sending a challenge to Beckham, Chen Lin's Twitter was exploded by angry Beckham fans, and the comments were full of scolding, and most fans thought that Chen Lin was not qualified to challenge Beckham at all.

While Chen Lin's challenge to Beckham continued to ferment, some media who watched the excitement pointed out a crucial thing - Chen Lin's jersey number in the Los Angeles Galaxy team was No. 24!

What does this mean? In addition to Chen Lin himself hoping that he can be stronger than Beckham, what is the deeper meaning?

The media reporters have not forgotten that just a few days ago, Chen Lin appeared at Staples Arena to watch a Los Angeles Lakers game, and NBA reporters at that time kept saying that Chen Lin was a fan of Kobe.

Chen Lin chose the same number as Kobe Bryant in the Los Angeles Galaxy, which proves that he is indeed a fan of Kobe, but at this moment, NBA reporters would rather this incident never happened, and would rather Chen Lin chose No. 24 as his number and had nothing to do with Kobe.

Because Kobe's No. 24 is already very sensitive, plus Beckham is a fan of Jordan, he used Jordan's No. 23 jersey, and Chen Lin challenged No. 23 Beckham as the No. 24 jersey.

Does this kind of thing add up to mean that Kobe Bryant's choice of the No. 24 jersey was really to challenge the Flyer Jordan?

Well, even Kobe and Flyer Jordan have been pulled out this time, Jordan's fans have loudly denounced Kobe, although Kobe's career is also unusually brilliant, but in the United States, in the NBA, no star can compare with Jordan's influence, even Kobe.

Kobe Bryant also fell into the whirlpool, he and Chen Lin were scolded by fans together, and some fans even hoped that Kobe would immediately change his number with the Los Angeles Lakers.

This is really a disaster for Kobe, and the helpless Kobe can only silently write a comment under Chen Lin's Twitter.

"Are you an idiot?"
