Chapter 44 If it weren't for him(1/2)

...

The day after Tony Donn returned to Nottingham, some Spanish and English media showed photos of him shaking hands with Beckham yesterday. The media speculated that Donnn's trip to Spain was definitely not as simple as playing the game of Shania.

When the Sun hyped that he was abducting a girl to Spain, everyone knew that his relationship with Shania was clear about - friends. Friends have a catwalk, and it is understandable to support them.

The media also know about the relationship between Victoria and Shania, so it is normal for Victoria and her husband to play Shania.

But it was a coincidence that Beckham and Tony Don met together? Who can guarantee that they didn't talk about anything in this half day?

Without any one of Don and Beckham speaking, the media came to the conclusion that Don must have gone to Madrid to lobby Beckham to join the team.

Everyone on earth knows that Beckham was not happy in Real Madrid, but given his 31-year-old age and his wife Victoria who yearns for Hollywood in the United States, there are not many clubs that really decide to introduce him.

According to the current information from all aspects, although the Los Angeles Galaxy sounds the most ridiculous, it is also the closest to the truth.

If Beckham really went to the United States, it would definitely hurt many of his fans. Especially those who really like to watch him play football instead of his face.

Although Don Neng is not a fan of Beckham, he also feels that it is a pity that this person has gone to the United States. Such a great opportunity has not allowed him to win the "heartthrob" as he wishes, and it will be even more impossible in the future.

Beckham is ready to notify his agent to stop the renewal negotiations with Real Madrid. Real Madrid club did not show enough sincerity in the negotiations, and seemed happy to see Beckham himself proposing not to renew his contract and leave here voluntarily. Since that is the case, Beckham will fulfill them.

On the surface, Real Madrid is still saying that they are negotiating contract renewal with Beckham's agent. In fact, both parties have long known what the situation is currently.

Victoria showed her husband the scenery album of Los Angeles. She planned to find a good place to buy a house. Tom Cruise enthusiastically introduced her to the mansion next to her home.

Victoria was very satisfied with the environment there.

But all this still requires Beckham to nod.

Beckham was a little absent-minded in the scenery around his future new home. He has always been like this since Tang En talked to him, always worried.

How could Victoria not know what Beckham was thinking?

Tang En brought a new choice to her husband, and her husband was worried about it at this moment.

Victoria put down the album and sat opposite Beckham.

She looked at her husband: "David."

"Very good, I think it's good." Beckham replied with a bad lip.

"I didn't ask you any questions." Victoria sighed.

"Ah..." Beckham smiled apologetically.

"Okay, now I'll ask you. David. Are you willing to accompany me to the United States?" Victoria asked.

"Of course I do, Victoria." Beckham replied without hesitation.

"You are lying." Unexpectedly, Victoria did not appreciate it, but exposed Beckham's lies expressionlessly. "If you really want to, how could you be absent-minded here?"

When Victoria spoke of Beckham's heart, he was speechless.

"You want to go back to England, right?"

After a while of silence, Beckham shook his head: "I don't know." He glanced at another album, which was a team magazine of the Los Angeles Galaxy. In order to understand the team better, the agent brought him. But he didn't take a look at it at that time.

Anyway, I really want to go to the United States, how much time can I play football? Choosing the Los Angeles Galaxy team for negotiations does not mean how brilliant this team is and how strong the lineup is, but purely because it is a team in Los Angeles, and Hollywood is there too.

When Victoria got this team magazine, she also said to Beckham: "...The team's jersey is really like Real Madrid's jersey."

Now, he saw that the white jersey was sponsored by a sports goods manufacturer, and it was nothing strange that the model was the same.

If white is like Real Madrid, then red...

Like Manchester United.

Manchester United in red, Nottingham Forest in red.

Beckham looked up and said, "Sorry, Victoria. I know I owe you a lot... You sacrificed your career for my career. I am willing to go to the United States because I think that can compensate for your sacrifices.

Actually, I am not interested in playing football in the United States. "He said "playing football" very seriously.

Victoria didn't look surprised at all, she just shrugged: "I know."

"This may be a bit stubborn and is not fair to you. But I..." Beckham remained silent when he said this.

Victoria didn't say anything, and picked up the album in Los Angeles again. She started reading it.

At this time, a brief but embarrassing silence fell into the room, and fortunately Victoria's cell phone rang at this time.

"Hey, Simon?"

Victoria stood up and walked towards the balcony. Beckham knew that this was Victoria's agent calling, but he didn't have the heart to think about what it was like to call Victoria at this time. He was still fighting in his heart.

Should I accompany my wife to the United States or change my mind?

Tang En's words are still in his ears: Have you forgotten your hundreds of national team games, your European Cup dreams...?

How could I forget? I was replaced in the last game of the World Cup. I cried so sadly on the sidelines. It was only half a year, how could I forget? At that time, what was I crying?

I cried that my years have passed, my youth has long disappeared, but my dreams are still dreams, and I have won all the honors of the club. The honors of the national team are still blank.

I cried that I could no longer participate in the next World Cup, so I could only block all the money and put them on the 2008 European Cup.

Who would have thought that so many things have happened in the past half season? I was neglected in Real Madrid, not only lost the club's main position, but also lost the position on the national team's roster.

Not to mention the European Cup, even a small wish for a national team to play 100 international A-level events has become a luxury.

If I really went to the United States, would McLaren, who was disliked by me, still recruited himself into the national team? It was unimaginable.

From then on, David Beckham was missing in the lieutenant general in the world. McLaren can also prove to the world how wise it was to give up recruiting Beckham into the national team - to adapt the national team in advance without David Beckham's playing style.

Are you willing? David? Although you said in front of the media that you respect McLaren's choices. And you are ready to play for the national team at any time. But can you be willing to endure such indifferent treatment of a national team head coach?

He can't see any efforts you have in the national team. The failure of the World Cup requires one person to be responsible, and Eriksson left, but that's not enough.

To show that his New England is completely different from the failed England of his ex, exile of a player favored by his former head coach is a necessary means.

So, as the captain of the former team, David Beckham was exiled. If it were smooth, the exile was quite far away - Los Angeles, which was separated by the Atlantic Ocean and the American continent.

Victoria came back after calling. She looked very good and her smile floated on the surface.

"It seems there is good news?" Beckham asked.

Victoria nodded: "Simon called and asked me if I was interested in reorganizing the hot girl group."

Beckham raised his eyebrows, and he didn't expect it to be the news.

"I think it's very interesting. The sisters at the time have all given birth to children. It must be a very exciting thing to perform on stage as this identity." Victoria said with a roar.

"Did you agree?"

Victoria nodded: "Yeah."

"This is a good thing." Beckham's brows also relaxed. "I hope you can continue your career, too." Then he seemed to have made up his mind and looked up again at his wife standing in front of him.

"Victoria, I...I don't want to give up football so early." He finally said what he thought inside, but Victoria did not speak up. Instead, she was looking at Beckham and waiting for him to finish her words.

"This..." He pointed to the spacious and bright rooms, high-end furniture and appliances, and was as magnificent as a palace. "All this is football for me.

I don't want others to think that I am a 'player' who makes money by relying on my face. I want to prove myself again and prove to those who look down on me... David Beckham is not a jersey seller."

Victoria put down her phone, waved her arm, as if she wanted to say something. But in the end she gave up the idea. She turned her back to her husband, wrapped her hands around her chest, and looked at the sunny sky outside the window.

Under the same clear sky, Nottingham, Wilford, central England.

"Tony, tell me what you are in Madrid." In the office of club chairman Evan Dogerty, the club's Big Three gathered together.

Although the three of them already knew the result, Evan was still interested in what Beckham said specifically.

Allen sat aside in a bad mood.

Tang En looked at the two of them. Then he shook his head: "There is nothing to say. I tried my best to make him change his mind. But he was prepared and moved out of his family as a shield.

What else can I say? Tell him, 'Don't worry about your wife'? Then I will turn against you on the first day. I can only touch indirectly. But he obviously made up his mind... No matter what I say, it would be useless to him."

The transfer of Beckham to the Los Angeles Galaxy is not just a matter between the club and the players, it also involves the American strategy of Major League Soccer and Adidas.

The conditions offered by the Americans to Beckham are almost impossible to be rejected - a weekly salary of 500,000 pounds! The contract will be worth 128 million pounds in these five years. This number is so scary.

But in fact, no matter how rich the Los Angeles Galaxy team is, it is a bit difficult for them to pay the penny alone, so Adidas needs to pay a portion of this annual salary to balance the club's income and expenditure.

Therefore, it is a very complicated thing for Beckham to go to the United States. Now if Beckham wants to stay in Europe, he also needs to settle interference from all aspects. He needs to convince Adidas to let him play football on a team sponsored by Nike.

Although it is the player's personal freedom to go to, but in fact every decision behind this often hides the sponsor's wishes.

If Beckham had to go to Nottingham Forest, then he might—no., have to—sacrifice some of the economic interests in exchange for this free choice.

As for the Major League of American Professional Football, that's easy to handle. Because the two parties have not signed any contracts or agreements, Beckham has the right to change his mind. Perhaps this will leave a bad impression on Americans, but it is reasonable.

Americans cannot use "breach of contract" to suppress Beckham, and the two sides have no agreement at all.

Americans and Adidas can continue to increase their treatment to make Beckham tempted.

But this time, David Beckham seemed to be angry with the outside world's view of him. He was determined to prove to the world that he was not down to the point of going to the football desert to hunt for gold.

In Real Madrid, he was expelled from the national team list. Spanish media always laughed at him as the worst player deal in Real Madrid, and the big newspapers and tabloids have been doing pension plans for him all day long.

The people who hate him gloatly announced that David Beckham was not a qualified player, and he might have achieved some small achievements when he went to Hollywood to act in movies. Those who like him began to sigh and could never see his full moon scimitar on the court again.

Almost no one retained the slightest confidence in him.

Except that person.
