Fiorentina have won their fifth tournament this season with a win over Juventus and the Champions League clash with Manchester United at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Although the media has repeatedly hyped it before, when this big battle is coming, Beckham, who once wore Manchester United's No. 7 shirt and won numerous honors, still became the focus of media attention.

Representing Fiorentina and meeting his old club Manchester United in the Champions League final, what it will be like when the time comes, countless people's curiosity rises in the moment before the decisive battle.

Beckham is not shy about this topic, as a professional footballer, Beckham knows very well that things like this will always happen when he goes head-to-head with his old club on the football field: "When I heard that Manchester United finally eliminated Arsenal and will meet Fiorentina in the final, I almost cried, I love Manchester United as a club, I think the night of the game will be an emotional night, for five years I have been trying to avoid thinking about everything about Manchester United, I don't want to forget, It's that Manchester United will always be my belief in my heart, and that's the supreme being. ”

David Beckham began his career at Manchester United in the Premier League, with the former England captain also spending 10 seasons at Old Trafford and has always had a special affection for the Reds.

Now, with the purple shirt already in his shirt, David Beckham will follow Fiorentina to take on his former club and says he wants nothing more than to be a part of the game when looking ahead to how he will face his former team-mates.

'It's so special and extraordinary for me to play against Manchester United as a Fiorentina player, and it's an extraordinary opportunity to represent a team that has had the same experience as Manchester United to get back on the Champions League final stage. And in front of the United fans, the coaches, playing against the friends, it would be an incredible thing, and now I want to say, I don't want this game to start, but I think they will be happy to see me, I miss the players and the fans of Manchester United, and now looking back, it seems that the time that passed, it didn't seem that far away, a lot of people have left Old Trafford, just like me, Bart, Phil. Neville, a lot of great team-mates have left, but there are still a lot of familiar faces there for me, like Ryan Giggs and Gary. Neville and, of course, Sir Alex Ferguson! ”

While it was a coincidence that Fiorentina and Manchester United met again in the Champions League final, for David Beckham, the meaning of the game was completely different.

Returning to the mainstream, giving up the comfortable holidays of the major leagues, giving up the high salary in the United States, and continuing to play in the high-intensity European leagues, Beckham's goal is clear, that is, to convince England coach Fabio Capello to represent the "Three Lions" in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Meeting his old club is a very peculiar reward for Beckham. David Beckham had previously stated that he hoped to play Manchester United in the final, and the result came true. The upcoming Champions League final will be David Beckham's first challenge to the Red Devils since his move to Real Madrid in 2003.

'I'm not looking forward to starting this game, I just want to be part of the game, just like I played for Manchester United, for Real Madrid, for the LA Galaxy, I'm willing to give everything for Fiorentina, as a professional footballer, that's my life, but I'm not going to abandon my faith, I miss the team, the players and the fans, Manchester United is a very special group in my heart and it will never change, I will cheer for Manchester United in the moment before the game starts, but after the game starts, I will not forget. I'm a Fiorentina player. ”

As Beckham said, Fiorentina is his life, but Manchester United is his faith. At Fiorentina, David Beckham won the Serie A title for the first time, making him one of the few players to have won the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A.

Beckham said: "It's my desire to win the title, and Fiorentina to win a title, it's a great feeling, I know that someone has said something before that is completely unnecessary, they think that Fiorentina's presence will make Serie A uncompetitive, I don't think Serie A has lost its charm, of course not, Fiorentina have the strongest quality, so we won the Italian league and now all we have to do is to keep Fiorentina's championship pedigree going, in the Olympic final, I hope, We still have the last laugh. ”

Faith and life!

Obviously faith is above all else, but Fiorentina fans will not be jealous, because only such a Beckham is perfect.

Fiorentina's coaches and players have not criticised Beckham either, and they can all understand United's place in Beckham's mind.

Prandelli said in an interview before the game: "I can understand David's feelings, he is definitely both hesitant and expectant now, I have had it, that was when I returned to the Blue Italian Stadium for Juventus, against Atalanta, of course, that can't be compared to David's experience, about the game, David will start or not, it's not sure yet, I will arrange the starting lineup according to the competitive state of all the players, but obviously, David is in the lead now." ”

Deegan also expressed his support for Beckham in an interview: "I don't want to jump into the dispute between him and Sir Alex Ferguson, it's meaningless, what happened at the beginning, there is no need to mention it now, I don't think that this game has anything to do with revenge, David only needs to play the field, like David, I am also very much looking forward to the game, two years in a row, on the same battlefield, meet the same opponent, this experience is very wonderful, David definitely hopes to be able to play well, and I am the same!" ”

At the same time, Beckham's former teammates have also expressed their anticipation for this game.

David Beckham's good buddy and current Manchester United captain Gary Brown. Neville said in an interview: "We should be happy to have such a legendary star and the face of the country, which goes beyond football. But on the football field, he deserves to be remembered by history. His CV covers Manchester United, LA Galaxy, Real Madrid and Fiorentina. They're both the best clubs in football, he's not just been a part of them, he's influenced the whole club, he's a great player and I'm very excited to be back on the pitch with David Beckham. ”

Ryan Giggs also said: "When we talk about some great players, it's hard to find them who are good on and off the pitch, there are a lot of good players in England, good players, but Beckham's performance on the pitch is a role model for young players, we used to play together for Manchester United, whenever he was on the pitch, it always made it easier for the team, a lot of team-mates benefited from that, and I have to admit that he worked hard in everything, which makes him a big part of the team, allowing him to control the midfield, Beckham is different. I'm happy playing with him. In football alone, he is probably the most influential person in England and his influence is huge. ”

Even Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson expressed his expectations for the game in an interview: "David Beckham is a great player, he always trains on the training ground, he has used his talent to have a brilliant football career, he has always inspired his teammates, both off the field and on the pitch his words and deeds are a role model for young players, he is a natural leader, everyone will always follow him, I have been his manager for many years, I have to say, Beckham is a very talented person, He has a lot of followers wherever he works, he's a great player and he's a guy with a lot of character, he's probably the most famous athlete in the world, if you talk about him, the whole world knows who it is, I don't know of any other footballer who is more popular than him. ”

The friendly signal before the start of the game is always just a polite thing, and when the game starts, even good friends, masters and apprentices, will only see bayonets on the field, and the championship is something that no one can ever give up.

As David Beckham said in a previous interview, Manchester United is his faith, Fiorentina is his life, faith is supreme, but more importantly, life.

As the day draws closer to the showdown, the Reds have arrived in Rome on a special plane to reach the Champions League final for the second season in a row and meet the same opponent for the second time in a row.

In world football, everyone knows what Ferguson is thinking, at his age, with such brilliant achievements, he should have retired a long time ago, and in previous seasons, there was the same news every year: Ferguson was ready to retire, and he was looking for a successor to the lord.

But every season, what people see in the dugout is the same face all the time, with a reddish face, a big voice with a Scottish Highland accent, and victory after victory.

It's not that Ferguson doesn't want to retire, he just wants to win the Champions League again before he retires, and now the opportunity has come.

"The same mistake doesn't happen twice to Manchester United, this time we only have one goal, and that is to win the trophy at the end!"

Manchester United have begun their final preparations for the big game in Rome, while Fiorentina have stayed on their ground and enjoyed the calm before the tournament.

"The old man seems to be menacing!" Degan smiled and handed the newspaper to Beckham.

Beckham didn't answer, he already knew the news above, although it has been five years since he left Full Face, Beckham still habitually wants to know everything about Manchester United.

"I know, I'm used to it, when I was at Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson was like that, even though he's older, anyone who knows him well can feel that he's always full of desire to win, passion for the game!"

Deegan smiled: "How did it feel to meet your old club in the final?" Don't tell me what I only say to journalists, I know it's not that simple! ”

Beckham pondered for a moment and kicked the ball out at his feet: "I'm conflicted, Rod! I've never hidden it, I'm a Manchester United fan, always have been, Manchester United has always been the most important team in my heart, and now to snatch the title from them, I know what to do, if it's just an ordinary game, it's nothing, but it's the final, you know the meaning of the final! ”

Either Caesar or nothing!

That's the meaning of the final, there will always be only one winner, the winner will always be remembered, the loser, except for a silver medal that records the shame of defeat, will not be left with anything, and of course they don't want to be remembered, the runner-up, to put it nicely, is not the loser.

"Of course I know, so I always want to win, and I'm afraid of losing, like ~~~~~~~"

Digan was finished, but Beckham knew he was talking about the 2006 World Cup final in Germany, where Belgium, who reached the World Cup final for the first time, lost to Italy.

Of course, if Digan hadn't gone off early due to injury, maybe the result would have been completely different.

That was also the only time Deegan lost the final!

Beckham laughed: "Me too, I hate failure too, Rod, I think I should thank you!" ”

Deegan looked at Beckham in surprise.

"Thank you for allowing me to have such a crazy experience at this age, Serie A, Coppa Italia, Champions League right away!"

Seriously, in world football, it is really rare to have such a brilliant resume as Beckham, at the club level, Beckham has got everything, the owner of the three major European league titles, Beckham is the first person deservedly.

Digan didn't shirk Beckham's thanks, but asked, "David! When faith and life conflict, which one will you choose? ”

Beckham didn't expect Digan to ask him this question, and thought for a while: "I think I will choose life, and when my life has overcome my ideals, I will go and pray to my ideals." ”

Deegan was stunned, Beckham's answer was really peculiar to the extreme.

Beckham continued: "Rod! Is faith more important to you, or is life important!? ”

Deegan didn't hesitate: "I'm sorry, David! I don't have faith, if I had to find one, my faith is a champion, nothing but a champion! ”
