David Beckham spoke in Spanish

The captain of the England football team David Beckham on Tuesday tore off the applause of journalists, when during the press conference of the Madrid “Real Madrid” he tried to speak Spanish for the first time in public, reports Reuters . Answering the questions by Beckham blinked, but he won the location of many representatives of the press in that he began to speak the language of the country in which he was playing.

“The game against“ Atletico ”was much better for us all,” he nervously said to a mixture of English and Spanish, speaking of the last victory of his club in the Madrid derby.

According to the midfielder, the appointment of the coach of the club Vanderlei Luchemburg, in which the club won both matches at the end of December, helped Real Madrid to return the lost confidence and the arrival of this Brazilian specialist helped the team closer to the leading Barcelona. “We still have a chance to win in the championship. It will be difficult, but we play better and better, we just need to work with all our might,” he said.

Beckham also explained the reasons for his bad form in the past year. “There will always be critics. If you have a bad game, then your career is completed, or you are too old, although you are only 29 years old. I like my football and I can still play five or six years, but I think that I have not scored two penalties at the European Championship,” he said.

The football player, who previously played for Manchester United, said that he had no plans to return to England in the near future, noting that he would be glad to extend his contract, which expires in 2007. Beckham also added that he likes the competition in England’s national team from the young Manchester City Midfielder Sean Wright-Phillips.
