David Beckham, the legend who has been representing England’s National Soccer Team for more than 10 years is being called upon by Coach Fabio Capello. Unfortunately, Beckham isn’t getting called to lead the team, but Capello wants to give him a chance to say goodbye.
Beckham has accomplished something that no British footballer has ever accomplished. He set the record with the most caps for the national team, making 115 appearances at the international level. It was unfortunate that he wasn’t able to add on to the 115 caps at the previous World Cup, due to an injury. Since he’s such a leader and role model to the current players, Capello still brought him along to help out from the sidelines.
As Beckham gets back to full health, it doesn’t seem like England will need Beckham to qualify for the European Championships in 2012. However, Capello is doing the right thing by giving him a chance to player another international game. The fans will love it!
Capello told the public that he would be bringing Beckham to play, so he can say goodbye. He’s hoping that Beckham can do this at Wembley as it’s the perfect place to say goodbye. Capello also made it very clear that he won’t be using Beckham in any competitive games.
Clearly Beckham is getting older and it shows on the field. He’s still a great leader on the field, but he’s obviously slowed down a bit. More importantly, Capello needs to find the right guys to move forward and improve.
Many England supporters were surprised to see Capello coming out with this news before speaking to Beckham regarding his future. Capello said he had not talked to David yet.
Beckham’s agent came back with a response to Capello’s statements that basically said after David’s farewell game, it’s over. His agent made it clear that David is not ready to retire and is very serious about playing international matches if he’s fit.
His agent also made it very clear that David is available to play for England any time he’s fit. I can see David making one last surprise and pulling through to make the 2012 squad. It would be a great end to his career!
