The head coach of the England football team Sven-Garan Ericksson confirmed that the midfielder and captain of his team David Beckham would not take part in the first match of the British during the United States Tour.
According to the newspaper Sport-Express , the absence of a player is due to the fact that the leadership of his club, the Spanish Real Madrid, demanded that Beckham attend the team’s final training, despite the fact that the Englishman could not participate in the match of the last round of the Spanish championship against Saragos due to disqualification.
“In Real Madrid, they want this week to train with the team. I know that he was disqualified for the last game, but they wished to see him as part of the end of the week. I did not expect David to join us at the beginning of the tour and respect the decision of the Madrid. I look forward to when he and Michael Owen will play for us against Kolumbia, as it was, as it was, as it was. It is planned, ”Eriksson remarked.
