Fan Leaves Stands to Fight David Beckham

Los Angeles : CA : USA | 4 months ago  
Views: 184

As several large European Clubs make their rounds in the United States to play friendlieswith American clubs and Spanish clubs, one particular match avoids a potential devastating fight between superstar and spectator. With David Beckham playing his first home match in Los Angeles since his stint with AC Milan, who else would the soccer God's match up with the Galaxy? of course...AC Milan!

With David Beckham facing his former Milan side, the world icon faced a hostile crowd in the Home Depot stadium. Beckham faced onslaught upon onslaught of booes and signs in which some read "Go Home Fraud" and "23:Repent". Beckham had a significant role in the match that ultimately ended in a 2-2 tie. However, the real news came at halftime when Beckham leaped over an advertising sign and made a signal to the fans in which one particular fan took exception leading the man to leave his seat, jumped down on to the pitch and charged Beckham. As the fan made his move at Beckham he was met with immediate force from security on the grounds and Beckham was instantly escorted back to the locker rooms.

After the match Beckham commented "It's expected. Sometimes it goes beyond it. The majority of the fans have been great." The outrage and sudden hatred for the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and AC Milan star came recently when Beckham made it public once again that he wished to return to Italy and play with AC Milan instead of the LA Galaxy because the competition was much better over seas, Its interesting that Beckham would make this comment considering Beckham has played very poorly sense arriving in the States and that his ungodly contract isn't set to expire for another 3 years. American fans are now starting to understand that perhaps Beckham came to America simply to make a monster amount of money rather than try to help soccer popularity rise in America.

It's an unfortunate situation. There is no doubt he did it for the money. That contract was massive! He probably should have thought more about it before making that big commitment.

Beckham made a huge mistake joining the Galaxy for, as you have noted, purely the money. At the same time I think it was a move that crystallised in him the desire to play real football again.

I don't think it was ever his intention to help promote US soccer, no matter what he thought or said at the time, even if he was being genuine.

But he should definitely go back to AC Milan this year, as soon as possible, and the Galaxy should realise that having a big star like that is not going to improve them if he is uncommitted to the team. Beckham obviously gels with AC Milan, a team he should have joined years ago.

Italian style football is right up his alley and he still has a good few years in him to prove that he wasn't just a phenom for Man U. Beckham is, despite everything, still a gifted and talented player with some great experience. It would be a shame to see him go to waste in the Galaxy.

They should understand this, see his desire, and let him go. It will work out for the best in the long run.
