Chapter 25 Bei Shuai arrives
David Beckham is here!
After the MLS game, Beckham took his team to Fiorentina and was given a No. 32 shirt after signing.
Although he is not yet able to play for Fiorentina in competitive competitions, Beckham can't wait to train with the team.
When David Beckham appeared at the door of the Fiorentina training ground in casual clothes, he was immediately surrounded by the fans who had been waiting for him for a long time.
Although Deegan is the king here, if it comes to popularity, Beckham can definitely throw off Degan two streets.
And Digan, who is rampage on the football field and has a straight face all the time, is indeed not as eye-catching as Beckham, who has a sunny smile on his face.
Beckham was joined by the club's executive chairman, Pakinwa, who had come to show off his results.
After satisfying the requirements of the fans, the group walked into the training base, the whole Fiorentina team was training, Prandelli stood on the sidelines, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw Beckham and his party arrive, although Parkinwa's purpose of signing Beckham is not pure, but the deal is really good.
Thinking about it, Prandelli walked over, and Beckham naturally recognized Prandelli, and took the initiative to reach out and shake Prandelli and say hello.
Then Pakinwa frowned and said, "Coach Prandley, I remember that I informed you that I would accompany Beckham today, and now I think I should stop training and come to meet your new players!" ”
When Prandley heard this, he was dissatisfied, but he still kept a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, Chairman Parkinwa, Rhodes said, that's not necessary, if David comes, you can directly participate in the training!" ”
Pakinwa complained: "It's ridiculous, we should show enough respect for a great star!" ”
As he spoke, Deegan also walked over, and Pakinwa wanted to speak, but Deegan didn't even look at him, and walked directly in front of Beckham and looked at the most well-known player in the world.
David. David Beckham, one of the top players of his time in football, because he has never won the World Cup and the European Cup, he has never been voted the World Footballer of the Year and European Footballer of the Year, and the only record Beckham can win is that of a European player who has won trophies in three completely different leagues.
However, Beckham is an icon that must be remembered in this era, and he is the first and only football icon after the Cold War who ushered in the era of globalization, and his voice and smile have even gone far beyond the scope of football and become a kind of social totem.
The young man from Manchester has redefined the otherwise pejorative term Metrosexual not only as the most talked-about urban masculine trait of the 21st century, but as a mainstream fashion.
Strictly speaking, the current era of globalisation, idolization and commercialization was created by David Beckham in 2002 at the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, and it was also the prelude to his arrival at Real Madrid in 2003 as an entertainment star.
In such an era that belongs to Beckham, people's love and hate for him are also entangled, and all the aura he has obtained comes from the innate handsome face and the star family chosen by fate.
However, he is not a genius on the football field, without God's favor, only his own silent diligence, his appearance is destined to be infinitely magnified under the spotlight, praised, beautified, become the darling of the whole world, chased by hundreds of millions of fans, but his love for football forced him to be exiled by the cruel reality on the football field again and again under the illusory idol halo, and constantly become an insulted and damaged outcast.
Thousands of magazine covers, hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising revenue, accurately measure the infinite energy that this icon that has brought football into a new era of globalization and commercialization can radiate in the business world.
There is even reason to suspect that Beckham's bumps and embarrassments on the pitch are God's natural exchange for his superiority in the social sphere. Beckham's youth recorded the commercial miracle of a popular idol, but it also recorded the hardships and sighs of the heart that loves football under the aura of this idol.
Perhaps David Beckham doesn't have a lot of memories on the football pitch, with a lob from midfield against Wimbledon, a free-kick from Greece, and a lethal long ball assist from Owen's long run.
A hundred years from now, however, people may not remember the masterpieces of Rivaldo, Shevchenko, Nedved and Cannavaro, or even Degan, who all have glittering championships to testify to, but the passage of time will make them all a name.
And David. Beckham is not to be omitted as a name, he is the theme word that interprets this impetuous era, he is even a brand, a classic business case that is not destined to be copied.
Beckham's life is not divided into Manchester United, Real Madrid, Los Angeles and, of course, Fiorentina now, but the legend of No. 7, No. 23 and No. 32 of the Purple Lily, a jersey sales record that will almost certainly not be broken, and a youth that will hardly be chased or even surpassed.
Different people have different impressions of Beckham, some are obsessed with his handsomeness, some admire his footwork, some marvel at his wealth, and some envy his family.
"I hope that the fans remember me because of my hard work, that I was a player first and foremost before I was a public figure." This is the opinion of Beckham himself.
It's like Stephen Chow insists that he is an actor in "The King of Comedy".
Diligence is the most important quality on the pitch, but it is also the most overlooked, but Beckham knows that his stunning right foot, the elusive arc he creates, is the result of hard training day in and day out.
As a member of the "92 Golden Generation", he has won the Premier League with Manchester United six times, and after moving to the Iberian Peninsula, he won La Liga as a member of the "Galaxy One", and at the same time, Beckham's performance in the "Three Lions" is not inferior, he has played more than 100 games for the England team, and is the player who has won the most "caps" in the non-goalkeeper position.
Despite his impressive resume, Beckham's career has had many ups and downs, and it is by overcoming setbacks that he has made a statement.
A shocking strike against Wimbledon in 1996 made Beckham known ever since. The impulse of the 1998 World Cup against Argentina gave Simeone a chance to perform in front of the world, but also made himself the culprit of the team's elimination. In the last game of the 2002 World Cup qualifiers against Greece, he saved England with his trademark free-kick in the final moments.
Later, due to the "flying bootgate" incident with Ferguson, Beckham went to Spain, and in the second half of Real Madrid's last season, Beckham, who was beaten into the cold palace, seized very few opportunities to save the team again and again.
Beckham's transformation from a player to a star is not that earth-shattering long-range shot, to be precise, it should be after holding hands with Victoria, from that time on, Beckham is no longer the big boy who can only play football before, his hairstyle began to represent a new trend, his commercial value continues to rise, and his name has begun to appear on the lists of magazines such as Forbes and Vanity Fair, he is the most successful case of combining football and business, and because of this, Beckham has reinterpreted the definition of a successful player.
At his parent club Manchester United, David Beckham won six Premier League titles, one Champions League, two FA Cups, one League Cup and one Toyota Cup.
After moving to Real Madrid, Beckham also proved that he is still a player that Capello cannot ignore, and helped the team win a La Liga, a UEFA Super Cup and a Spanish Super Cup.
For Major League Soccer, Beckham's achievements are far from being measured by two championship trophies, and his arrival has greatly boosted the development of American football.
In the summer of 2007, Beckham joined the Los Angeles Galaxy, and his arrival brought the American Major League Soccer to the attention of the world, in fact, he was not the first star to join the American Major League.
In the U.S., basketball, football, baseball, and even hockey, which are more localized, are more talked about. And football, until the beginning of the 1994 World Cup in the United States, was not paid attention to by Americans. A top superstar who plays for a top club in Europe's top leagues and plays in the Major League is tantamount to lowering his value.
In fact, Beckham chose to go to the United States this time completely for his family. Victoria is a woman with dreams, she finally has to endure garlic Madrid food and go to a celebrity dinner at Beverly Hills, she finally doesn't have to huddle in a box with tasteless women like Rooney's girlfriend Colleen, and she finally has to watch the game with Tom's wife or Brad. Pete's wife goes shopping. Victoria has sacrificed too much for Beckham, and this time, he has to make a sacrifice for her.
Of course, going to the United States also has an unspoken interest for Beckham, who is developing towards an all-round star and enjoys a weekly salary of $1 million in the United States. After he retired, it was logical to join Hollywood, and for a while, there were even rumors that Beckham was about to be the next candidate for 007.
In the United States, David Beckham has his own football school. This not only brought considerable profits to the Beckhams, but also earned them a lot of spotlight and newspaper front pages in the local area.
Some people expect that Beckham will earn a huge income of $250 million in the next five years in the United States, and he is the richest man in football.
After moving away from Manchester's classic and rustic life, and bidding farewell to Madrid's exuberant past, Beckham gradually became accustomed to his new life in Los Angeles. It all started with his familiarity with the football environment of the Major League Soccer.
On May 24, 2008, the LA Galaxy played the Kansas Wizards in Major League Soccer games, and in stoppage time, David Beckham scored a long-range goal from 70 yards out of goal, and people felt like they were back at Old Trafford in 1996, where the young Prince of Dreams scored a long-range lob in a similar way.
On July 16, 2008, Beckham won the annual "ESPY Annual Sports Excellence Award" initiated by ESPN, and on August 3, 2008, Beckham won the Most Popular Athlete Award from Men's Health, the best-selling men's magazine in the United States.
Beckham's career has won 27 trophies so far, and now, the 33-year-old "heartthrob" is back in Italian football, ready to take on a new challenge.
When he came to Italy, Beckham's purpose was known to everyone, dragging his body that had passed his life, desperately trying to maintain his condition, for what?
It's not the World Cup in South Africa two years later!
David Beckham knew very well that it was his last chance, and this time, he couldn't afford to miss it.
Deegan still remembers the sad tears of David Beckham in Germany two years ago, the tears of men are not the most moving, when the tears are always only in the corners of the eyes, but still maintain a forced smile, and comfort other people's men, is the most moving.
It's just that no one wanted Beckham to be so moving, when England left the World Cup stage two years ago. Some shed tears for themselves, and some shed tears for others.
What about David Beckham?
No one knew who he was crying for.
From France to Germany, David Beckham has participated in three World Cups so far, scoring three key goals, two of which directly decided the outcome of the game.
I don't know if it's because his appearance is too outstanding, God will always create trouble for him when the competition is coming. David Beckham's goal could not help the team go far, as if it was a very evil fate.
David Beckham's England debut began on 1 September 1996 in the World Cup qualifiers against Moldova, where he played all of the 1998 World Cup qualifiers for the Three Lions and was named in the 1998 World Cup squad for the tournament.
However, then-England manager Childe Hoddle publicly questioned that his "energy was not all focused on the tournament", and he failed to start England's first two group games. It wasn't until the third game against Colombia that Hoddle gave him a chance, a match in which the 'Three Lions' had to win against Colombia to advance.
Beckham, as a supporting role in the team, had the courage to take the burden of taking free kicks, and staged his exclusive stunt "Beck arc" in the 30th minute, a direct free kick more than 20 meters away, penetrated the ten fingers of goalkeeper Mondragon, and scored his first goal in the World Cup, which also established Beckham's status as England's number one free kick expert.
In the 1/8 finals between England and Argentina, Beckham was viciously put down by the opponent's back Simeone, but he lay on the ground and raised his foot unnecessarily, lightly touching Simeone, as a result, the Argentine seized the opportunity and fell to the ground very exaggeratedly, allowing the Danish referee Nelson to give Beckham a red card.
Simeone later admitted that he was deliberately playing a role and joined the rest of the team to pressure the referee to send off Beckham. The game was eventually dragged into a penalty shoot-out, and England were eliminated from the competition after losing on penalties.
After the tournament, Beckham became the target of British media bombardment, and Beckham was considered by many fans and media reporters to be the culprit of England's exit at that time.
Outside the door of a London pub, a gallows was even erected for Beckham's dolls, and Beckham received death threats. He fell into a small trough.
In the Euro 2000 qualifying 2-3 defeat to Portugal, David Beckham was verbally abused by his own fans, and although he assisted two goals in that game, he was insulted by some England fans throughout the game.
Beckham also gave them a middle finger in response, drawing criticism, but the media outlets that had bombarded him also began to call on readers to stop insulting Beckham.
In the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, David Beckham led the team to victory, especially in Munich's 5-1 victory over Germany.
In the final game against Greece, England were 2-1 down and time was running out, and the team must remain unbeaten to qualify for the World Cup.
Sheringham was fouled about seven yards outside the Greek penalty area and England won a free-kick and Beckham slotted home with his trademark full moon cutlle to secure a crucial point in the World Cup, turning him from a bear to a hero in 1998.
Soon after, he was voted Sports Personality of the Year by the BBC in 2001, but unfortunately he was once again runner-up in the World Footballer of the Year selection.
Because of his handsome appearance, Becky's lethality to women can be called the first person in football, which also makes Becky infamous as a vase, but in fact, he is a brave man who is always fighting.
In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, Beckham was injured by an opponent in a previous club game, and he still felt powerless after his comeback.
The road is narrow, and this time he ran into his sworn enemy Argentina again.
In a crucial match, the two teams avenged their victory over their opponents with a penalty scored by David Beckham, who had won four years earlier. Reaching the quarter-finals may be a new starting point for England, but unfortunately, their quarter-final opponents were Brazil, the champions of that tournament, and the score of 1:2 left Beckham sad.
England at the 2006 World Cup were hailed by the British press as the most talented team in the last 40 years, and the media were debating whether they could relive their old dreams from 40 years ago.
The unexpected situations that played tricks on people caused a series of bad effects on the England team. The injuries of Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen, as well as the displeasure of his team-mates with David Beckham, have left the team's title prospects murky.
Fortunately, the team advanced to the last eight, and if they can go one step further, England will also break into the title contenders for the second time since 1990.
David Beckham made a big difference in the process, scoring a beautiful own goal from a free-kick against Paraguay in the group stage.
In the 1/8 final against Ecuador, Beckham fought until he vomited and was substituted, in fact, Beckham had stomach cramps before the game, however, the sense of crisis made him make the decision to hide his condition.
Because after the last match with Sweden, Xiaobei was criticized by Eriksen for not playing well, in order to ensure that he can continue to stand on the field of the World Cup, Xiaobei endured physical discomfort and put on the field.
Speaking after the game, David Beckham said: "It felt good in the first half, but it was a bit uncomfortable in the second half. ”
The doctor's diagnosis was heat stroke with mild dehydration. In any case, this is another prime example of David Beckham's professional attitude.
In the quarter-final against Portugal, in the 51st minute, Eriksen replaced captain David Beckham with Lennon, after he was kicked by Valente in a wide break and injured his left ankle, and after four minutes, he couldn't hold on to the game before being replaced.
Sitting on the bench at Schalke Stadium, Beckham covered his face with his hands and cried, England finally lost another penalty shootout, Beckham ended his third World Cup journey, Digan noticed when he watched the video of the game later, Beckham just after being tackled, signaling to the coach to continue fighting, the picture makes people's blood pump.
After leaving the field, Beckham sat alone on the bench, hiding his face and sobbing, and the scene at that moment made the hard-hearted Degan couldn't help but be moved.
A day after England's World Cup exit, David Beckham announced his resignation as England captain at a press conference. This is actually a very helpless choice, because the new coach McLaren is already ready to support Terry in the position.
After the World Cup, McClaren officially became England manager, not only stripped Beckham of the captain's armband, but also abandoned him for a time.
But just like at Real Madrid, David Beckham relied on his form to win back his place and returned to the team late in Euro 2008 qualifying, but the team ultimately missed out on qualifying for the finals.
After Capello took over, Beckham's long passing, after Owen left, he couldn't find a target, and with the rise of Gerrard and Lampard, Beckham's position in the national team was precarious, which Beckham himself did not want to see.
Beckham's position is positioned as a substitute but could still contribute to the team. In the 3-1 away win over Belarus in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, David Beckham came off the bench in the 87th minute to make his 107th appearance for his country. Charlton Athletic became the third Three Lions to make an appearance in their history.
Now, in order to continue to break his record for appearances in the national team, Beckham has once again made a decision at the age of 33 that surprised everyone and joined Fiorentina.
Although the closest thing to Beckham was AC Milan before, but when Fiorentina contacted him, Beckham changed his decision, in fact, this choice is very simple, in Fiorentina, he can play in the Champions League, can continue to show his ability on a higher stage.
Although the media cheered Beckham's return to Europe, they also kept questioning, can Beckham, who is 33 years old, really be able to kick the full moon scimitar? Will he still be able to compete at the top of the field?
Deegan has never doubted Beckham's ability, and everything he has achieved is enough to prove that he is a world-class player, a super player, which cannot be doubted.
Anyone who really understands the game should admit Beckham's talent in football, so why are there so many people who firmly deny him?
Degan thinks most of them are jealous!
Because Beckham is not only a player, he is also a super idol, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most famous person on the planet, he has an incomparably handsome appearance, a sculptural figure, a super singer as a wife, three lovely children, dozens of cars, private jets, private yachts, N mansions, annual income of tens of millions of dollars, and so on.
Because of the above facts, many male compatriots, many so-called professional-level male fans, will naturally look at Beckham with colored glasses.
Just yesterday, Digan read a report written by a well-known football commentator in Italy, which is a very rare thing for Digan, who has always disliked holding a newspaper.
This big brother should have a lot of weight in the Italian football world, but Degan didn't expect this kind of professional football commentary to make people laugh out of their mouths.
He actually said that Beckham is not a world-class player, which is really incomprehensible, how can Digan not understand that a player who has won countless championships and has been named the runner-up of the World Footballer twice, is not the world level, so who is the world level?
What a joke.
You must know that all the big-name coaches in the world will not hesitate to praise Beckham, and all the big-name players are full of respect and affirmation for Beckham.
The former head coach of Brazil, Pereira, who once expelled Degan, once said that Beckham was also a main player in the Brazilian team.
Arsene Wenger has long wanted to get Beckham to Arsenal.
Lippi has repeatedly praised Beckham in public.
Milou had asked Chinese players to play like David Beckham.
In terms of players, which of Real Madrid's superstars does not praise Beckham, and even the opponent Ronaldinho, who played for Barcelona at the time, has spoken highly of Beckham many times.
This brother did give some examples, saying that Beckham can't pass, but why does Beckham want to pass?
What is the purpose of being a good person?
It's to push the ball to the front court, or find a better space, and then pass the ball.
But Beckham doesn't need to, because he doesn't have to pass to get the ball where he wants it to go.
Why do you have to be superior?
He also said that Beckham has no speed, but why don't you need speed?
A famous star once said that David Beckham was the only player he had ever seen who could kick the ball well without passing people.
Figo and Beckham should be the two best right midfielders in the world, the two are two completely different styles, it can't be said that Figo can dribble the ball, he is a big cut better than Beckham, right?
Who is better than a long pass?
There are a lot of people in the football world, and the only one who can pass the ball as he wants is Beckham! At this point, Deegan is ashamed of himself.
It is even more absurd to say that Beckham has no ability to score, and Beckham has been one of the leading scorers of the England team in recent years.
He averaged eight goals a season at Manchester United, scoring fewer goals at Real Madrid because of a different responsibility and the need for him to organise attacks rather than score from the front.
As long as you are a real fan, you should know this, and it can be seen that the so-called senior football commentator does not understand Beckham's ability on the football field at all.
Looking at Beckham face to face, Digan doesn't have the perverted thoughts of others, such as giving Beckham a dismissal, which is really boring.
While Digan is looking at Beckham, Beckham is also looking at the young man in front of him who has made a name for himself in the world football world in recent years and has replaced countless people and become the number one player in the world.
"Hello!"
Beckham spoke a word in Italian, but with an awkward accent, which was terrible.
"Come on! I can understand English, almost everyone here understands it, and you don't have to focus on relearning a language! ”
Degan's tone was a little ridiculous, and he didn't seem to be serious at all because of Beckham's identity, yes! There is no need for Degan!
Because Degan is the boss here, the No. 1 player in the world, and the sharpest knife in the world's football!
Beckham was stunned for a moment, then smiled, Degan's attitude made him feel a lot more at ease, because he had heard a lot of rumors before, rumors about Degan, those rumors, were very bad, in short, one of the central ideas revealed was.
Deegan is a difficult person to work with!
But now it seems that the situation is completely different!
Deegan saw that Beckham was still wearing casual clothes, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Mr. Beckham!" Training has already begun, and I guess you can't run on the training ground in such a suit! So, now go to the dressing room and change your clothes, and in ten minutes I want you to show up on the training ground wearing your number 32 shirt! ”
After saying that, Deegan turned his head and walked to the training ground.
Beckham's agent was a little dissatisfied: "That guy is so rude! ”
Pakinwa's face was also a little ugly, and Digan didn't say a word to him from beginning to end.
Beckham smiled: "That's good!" You go back first! I think it's time for me to go training! ”
With that, Beckham walked towards the dressing room.
