Very soon, the captain of the England national team David Beckham must leave Manchester United and move to Spain or Italy. However, this transition can be associated with a great risk to Beckham.
In particular, Reuters gives examples of football players such as Jimmy Graves, Ian Rush and Dennis Lowe. All of them played very successfully in England, but in moving to the continent the brilliance of their football was lost. Since the opening of the transfer market to the present, the number of legionnaires in clubs has only increased. During this time, some of them have developed quite stable connections. In particular, Dutch football players chose the Spanish Barcelona. The French took root well in the English Liverpool and Arsenal. South American football players successfully perform in many leading clubs. The British basically prefer to stay at home.
The last Englishman who went from the Premier League to the Italian series and was Paul InS in 1995. The last English “Spaniard” was Steve Mcanaman, who left for Madrid “Real” four years ago. Both are not playing in the best way now. The last loud failures marked travel to the continent of the Irishman Robbi Kin and the former defender of the England national team Des Walker. Both played the year in Inter and Sampdoria, respectively.
Many say that the British can not get used to the tactics of teams playing the continent. In addition, Reuters notes Iana Rasha and Paul Gaskeon, who could not get used to the Italian lifestyle. Probably, in recent years, only David Plett took root in Italy, who quite successfully spent his years as part of Bari, Juventus and Sampdoria, and most recently Plett almost became the coach of the Jenoa club. In this regard, I recall an example of another legionnaire with foggy Albion John Charles. He moved to Juventus in 1957, and his 93 goals in 155 matches helped the team to win three Skudetto.
Meanwhile, Beckham is more than the Spanish championship players. Here you can give an example of unsuccessful performances in Barcelona Mark Hughes. Although there are positive examples. In particular, Gary Lineker in the 1980s scored 44 goals in 99 matches for Barcelona.
