Chapter 26 Professional Players

Beckham's appearance on the training ground in Florence did not cause much sensation, even the young players of the youth team. Although at different training venues, they meet the world's best group of players every day. Even Beckham is a star in their eyes. .

"Rod! Are you going to let Beckham start training today? Marchena walked to Degan.

Digan looked at Marcena. In Fiorentina, he was the only one who had played against Beckham in La Liga: "What do you think of that guy?"

Machener looked at Beckham, who had changed his training clothes and jogged from the locker room, and said with a smile, "Others think he just has a handsome face, but I know more about him is his professional attitude!" Rod! That's a great guy!"

Digan also smiled: "I hope so!"

Beckham went to the training ground, talked a few words with Prandelli, and then joined the large army. According to the requirements of the physical coach, every training he completed looked meticulous.

Before Beckham came, in the first team of Florence, perhaps many players, like that senior football commentator, once hated Beckham very much. There was no need to hide it. To put it bluntly, it was jealous.

That's right!

It's jealousy!

Beckham has really got too many good things!

This jealousy will make people make preconceived judgments, regard Beckham as a free kick, only create gossip, and rely on a vase to eat with a beautiful face.

But looking at the old British man in front of him who is seriously trained and 100% devoted to his work, everyone's views immediately changed. At least one professional player deserves their respect.

In fact, put aside that jealousy and look at Beckham again. He is definitely a legend in today's world football. Thinking of this old man's career, the pictures he saw and heard one by one, the feeling is like hearing a familiar and distant song, which is a little powerful. For a while, players will be destined to be just lyrics, while some players are like tunes.

The lyrics are gradually forgotten with the passage of time, and many years later, people will still inadvertently hum those familiar tunes and think of those touching scenes.

There is no doubt about it, David. Beckham may be such a tune. People will inadvertently think of the famous work at the 1998 World Cup and the red card that he got calmly. When Beckham became a sinner in England, people even wanted to hang him under the Tower of London.

After that, Beckham's career even fell to a low point in his entire life. His world is dark, and tears have become a way to release stress. However, as a professional player, as a man, he did not retreat. He did not complain. On the contrary, he chose to persist and still trained hard to prove himself on the court.

Two years of lying on firewood made this once reckless teenager fade away. Beckham quickly recovered himself and led England to the South Korea-Japan World Cup and revenge on Argentina. While enduring several times the hardships that should not have been borne by him alone, Beckham handed over a piece of silence and facts. Men's answers.

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, in the quarter-final with Portugal, all fans should not forget that Beckham struggled to vomit in the game. The exhausted Beckham had to leave because he sprained his foot in the match. But he still wanted to insist. He even waved his hand to Erikson who wanted to replace him and told him: I want to insist, I can persist!

However, the pain in his right foot still made Beckham have no choice but to walk down. At this moment, Beckham collapsed, and he burst into tears. In a confusion, the whole world felt silent pain and could not fight until the last moment, which was the greatest sadness for a fighter.

When he came off the court, 60,000 spectators rose up and applauded for him, while the scene of Beckham, who was injured and burst into tears on the bench, was still deeply imprinted in the hearts of the fans.

Degan could understand Beckham's mood at that time, as if he had to leave early because of his broken leg in the final with Italy. At that moment, his eyes were the same as Beckham with the tears he didn't want to fall.

Only after that, Degan was reborn in Florence, and Beckham's bad luck in the national team seemed to have brought to the club.

At Real Madrid, head coach Capello stuffed Beckham directly on the cold bench, and Beckham also ushered in the most difficult time of his life, but he always insisted on attending the team's training and meticulously set an example for the young players in the team. On the bench, people could only see Beckham anxious and unrestrained. Nai's eyes.

Beckham, who can't appear, will still attend the stands in Bernabeu in casual clothes. His face is still smiling, but his heart is still suffering.

The cold bench and the coach's neglect are nothing to Beckham. He trained seriously and played football seriously just for a slim opportunity. Although it was slim, Beckham never gave up.

Finally, Beckham, who was in such a situation, waited for the opportunity in his dedicated efforts and persistent waiting. Capello, a stubborn iron coach, was moved by Beckham and decided to use Beckham again. Capello said: Beckham is the most professional player I have ever seen, and " The four words "karmic spirit" have also attracted my attention and made me think deeply about its meaning.

Now, in order to participate in the World Cup in South Africa, Beckham is willing to pay to play in Serie A Fiorentina. For that unfinished dream, a 33-year-old veteran has just ended the American Major League, and then started again non-stop. His new journey in Serie A is that professional players should teach. The example of this action itself is a manifestation of professional energy.

Looking at Beckham, who is conscientious on the training ground, Degan feels more about the spiritual strength brought by persistence and tenacity!

Degan saw his tenacity from Beckham. He did not give up, did not give up, did not realize his dream, and did not get what he wanted, he would never let go.

When it comes to professionalism, the first thing people think of is to work hard and contribute all to their career, just like Beckham did on the court.

For your own goal, that love, always focus on your own career, try to avoid blindly listening to other people's opinions, blindly care about the voices of the outside world, and do your own thing, that's enough.

"I hope people will treat me as a professional player before treating me as a public figure!"

Beckham often talks about this. The son of an ordinary worker dreamed of winning the Gold Cup for England as a child. Beckham, who persisted in this dream began to practice hard and stood out in the football school hosted by Charlton, a famous English football player, and was rated as the school. The most promising student.

In 1990, Beckham, who was only 15 years old, was valued by the Premier League Manchester United and became a member of the Red Devils. At the first stop of his career, Beckham grew rapidly. His famous work was a match against Wimbledon in the 1996/1997 season. Beckham's foot was shocking. The shooting made fans all over the world know him.

In the following years, Beckham gradually grew into the main force of Manchester United with accurate long passes and accurate free kicks. However, Beckham's life is destined to be closely related to the World Cup, recording his sadness and joy on the World Cup.

Beckham participated in the World Cup for the first time in 1998, which was unforgettable for him.

In the group match against Colombia, he saved the team with a subtle free kick and helped England qualify from the group, which was also his first goal in the World Cup.

But in the subsequent knockout match, Beckham made a big mistake. He retaliatedly kicked Simone of Argentina and was directly sent off with a red card, which led to England losing to the opponent in the penalty shootout and being eliminated.

However, under pressure, Beckham was not knocked down. In the 2002 World Cup European qualifiers, Beckham returned. He used a free kick to help the team finally defeat Greece and got a ticket to the World Cup between South Korea and Japan at the last moment, and this goal was also worth a lot of money. .

In the World Cup in Germany, Beckham stood on the field of the World Cup for the third time, and he once again became the focus of attention, tasted honor and humiliation, experienced merits and demerits, and Beckham grew up in twists and turns.

Although Beckham is old today, although there are Gerard and Lampard in the English midfield, Rooney, Owen and Crouch on the front line, Beckham is still full of dreams about the World Cup. He is eager to be able to stretch out his right foot on the court and help the ball when the team needs him most. The team won.

From any point of view, Beckham can be called an idol star in football, but he is not the first generation of idol trained in the Premier League in the 1990s. The Liverpool Tigers before him dominated the newspaper headlines earlier, but where are they now?

McMannaman and Redknapp, who are more star-like than him, have retired long ago, and Fowler of the same age have also disappeared. Even for the younger crowd, look at Ronaldo, Shevchenko and Guti who have lost any ability to decide the game. Does anyone remember Cruyvit?

Beckham's 45-degree oblique long pass and free kick power, whether in Britain, Spain or the United States, is still world-class power, Bobbi. Robson believes that Beckham is still one of the top 25 superstars in the world today.

The public's memory is very short. If Europeans have anything in common, they are all passionate about football. As long as Beckham is still good on the court and wants to kick him out of the court, it is impossible.

Beckham has less spare time than any superstar, but he may have more training time than any teammate. People pay too much attention to the 560 million euros he created for the Galaxy fleet in the four years at Real Madrid and the 1 million 23 jerseys he sold in half a year.

Both Lalas, the chairman of Los Angeles, and Pakinwa, the executive chairman of Florence, are all attracted by his charm of increasing product sales by 137% in Real Madrid. Beckham, the winner of the 1999 European Footballer of the Year Silver Ball Award, has been ignored.

In fact, Beckham, who has 1/4 Jewish blood, has always adhered to the rigor and self-discipline of Judaism and practiced free kicks, which is a regular event of Beckham's daily training. It was half an hour at Manchester United. After transferring to Real Madrid, he had more time to practice.

After Real Madrid was eliminated by Monaco in 2004, his teammates chose various reasons to spend Easter. Only Beckham, accompanied by a physical trainer, insisted on practicing twice a day at the training base. Even during the period when he was frozen by Capello, he still did not change his habits.

Beckham has a satisfactory explanation for his neglect: "Players need to play to stay in shape, but I work hard to keep myself in shape during training. In addition, there is evening time. I often train alone during the evening, because my wife usually trains at this time. I attended the event outside, so I did more extra training. Although it's not too much, the most important thing is that I have extra training.

has already transferred to the American Major League. During the winter break last year, Beckham also chose to train with Arsenal to stay in shape.

Look at Ronaldo, who has also trained with Flamenco and has recovered for half a year and has not lost weight. I believe most people will have a contrast to their professional attitudes.

To some extent, Beckham has a stronger religious self-discipline, which is also the key to maintaining a first-class level at the age of 33.

For Beckham, perhaps Ferguson has the most say. Beckham's "secret" of 100 free kicks after every training at Manchester United was revealed to the media by Lord. According to the old Scottish man: "At this time, without a camera beside him, people can't see his efforts."

During the interview in the United States, Victoria also revealed that Beckham still maintained the habit of training at home in the evening. Even on vacation, Beckham still maintains a two-hour standard physical exercise every day.

Before he came to Italy, Beckham still maintained systematic training. Yesterday, when Beckham first arrived in Florence, after Florence gave him a medical examination, a team doctor asserted that Beckham could play until the age of 40 like many Italian players, such as Costacuta and Maltini. At least, there is no problem for Beckham to maintain the accuracy of the cross and free kick.

Unlike other famous stars, Beckham has always maintained his enthusiasm for football. One La Liga champion, six Premier League champions and one Champions Cup have not worn away his ideals. Beckham has publicly said many times over the past ten years that he hopes to compete with each other. Charlton won the World Cup for the England national team.

Looking at Beckham, who is now doing his best to train, everyone can see that compared with magnesium lights and commercial activities, football is Beckham's life, and no one can replace it as the protagonist.

Someone may mention hot girls. In fact, this is a very difficult multiple choice question. In fact, in Beckham's 10-year intimate history with hot girls, he has always been balancing the leverage of career development between husband and wife. From the golden boy and jade girl to now, she has helped this fan between fish and bear paws from the other side and keep a clear mind.

Before meeting Victoria, Beckham, who had been addicted to football since childhood, had a very poor love life. The predecessors of the five hot girls could not stand Beckham's words and Manchester United and football. There was not many common language between them. David, who was already the first British idol star, actually even "Pretty Woman" and "Peach Deal" has not been seen, two popular love movies that have been popular in Britain for many years, which makes it difficult for romantic ex- lovers to find a topic.

It was an accident to meet Victoria, but it was inevitable for Beckham. What he needed was a beautiful wife who would not interfere in his football life. Victoria was the worst but the most beautiful in the hot girl group. Of course, she also knew that she could not rely on her sisters in the group for a lifetime. She needed another field of exposure. Light rate.

The 1998 World Cup was Beckham's first test. After becoming a sinner, he healed his wounds alone with his fiancee in New York.

The Triple Crown Queen in 1999 enjoyed the cheers of fans instead of boos. Beckham finally understood that everything was built on the court. After that, he married Victoria, who also officially became the master of his life outside the court.

At this time, the contradiction between football and business was exposed. Ferguson refused Beckham's request for a long leave. Until the flying boots incident in 2003, the hot girl was always recognized by the Lord as the number one natural enemy to keep Beckham in a sports state.

Indeed, the hot girl group has disintegrated at this time, and Victoria's entertainment industry must be supported by Beckham. But on the one hand, the shrewd hot girl appointed her husband an SFX brokerage company that had been packaging herself, and on the other hand, she did not interfere with Beckham's training.

So much so that Beckham still maintains the habit of practicing free kicks in his garage. Of course, the chips from Victoria are increasing, and the proportion of the business field in Beckham's life peaked in the 2002 World Cup.

Beckham, who has always followed rigid professional discipline, began to be late for taking care of sick children and was fined for attending hot girls' parties. In the face of Beckham's explosive growth of global business development, Victoria had to rely on Beckham to save her petty entertainment career and hoped that he could be in London, Milan or Madrid. The capital of fashion has found its destination.

As early as 2002 when Manchester United got nothing, the Spice Girls began to look for support for Beckham from Milan and London. When Manchester United was eliminated from the FA Cup by Arsenal in early 2003, the conflict between Beckham and Ferguson rose to the top.

Subsequently, Beckham's balance tended to be hot girls. He chose Real Madrid, but in Real Madrid, Victoria let the balance return to Beckham's side.

The hot girl did not find the second spring of her career, so she could only hope for a new rap album produced in New York. The Beckham scandal in the East Window incident in early 2004 became a crossroad for Beckham to re-examine his balance of life.

The SFX brokerage company that contributed the most to Beckham's commercial empire was fired and replaced by Simon, whose main business is in the United States. Fowler, who focused on helping Spice Girls open up the North American market, while reducing Beckham's distracting outside the court.

This is why, until 2006 when Capello came, Real Madrid experienced a three-year low, but Beckham did not lower his competitive level.

It should be said that every choice of Beckham's career, every tilt of the balance, is the shadow of Victoria.

However, even in the era when Beckham's football business empire was in full swing, his football time was still far more than the time under the spotlight.

It was Victoria's idea to play in the Major League, but in the end, Beckham still couldn't stand loneliness. He was wronged at the low level of the American Major League for a long time, which made the arrogant Britishman always be psychologically unbalanced, not to mention being questioned by fans' "number of appearances" in the national team.

Pakinwa also can't stand loneliness. In Florence, people only know that there is Degan, and even the club's transfer is in the hands of Degan. Although the team won the triple crown last season, Florence is still an upstart in the eyes of those rich families. In the eyes of many people, Flor Lanza still doesn't have the temperament of a rich family, so this time Pakinwa desperately snatched Beckham from AC Milan, one to brush his sense of existence, and the other is to improve the image of Florence.

Now business cooperation pays attention to mutual benefit, and the pursuit of win-win is the king. The same is true of Beckham's transfer to Florence. However, the ambitious Beckham seeks the second spring of his football career, and Fiorentina still loves the huge commercial value of Beckham.

Frankly speaking, Beckham was not happy in the days of the American Major League, although there was his good friend Tom. Cruise, but there is no football at the highest level.

The transfer to Fiorentina was Beckham's pursuit of his career and was stimulated by the boos of some fans. Fate is always so wonderful that Capello, who suppressed Beckham at Real Madrid, gave Beckham enough respect in the England national team.

It's just that this kind of respect has seriously turned into a "giving" and a "number of appearances" for English fans. The British are arrogant, and Beckham does not allow himself to be insulted. The only way to prove himself is to transfer to a competitive team to prove himself again. As a result, the transfer to Florence came naturally.

Of course, the most important reason why Beckham was favored by Pakinwa was because of Beckham's commercial value, which was also an important reason why Real Madrid bought Beckham.

Beckham enters Real Madrid, and Real Madrid immediately becomes the richest club in the world. Similarly, when Beckham enters Florence, the increase in Florence's income will be obvious.

Beckham is not old. He is still the most handsome man in football. His commercial value is still there. Coupled with the world's first player Degan, Fiorentina has two handsome men and two super idols in football. The development of commercial value will be much smooth, and even it is promising to catch up with Manchester United Real Madrid.

Beckham's choice is worthy of respect for exchanging "money" for "future". At least he still loves football. At least he is willing to sacrifice a lot of dollars in the United States for his football dream.

And Florence is not Milan. Obviously, this is not Victoria's opinion. Although Florence is the capital of the Renaissance, it is obviously not as good as Milan, the fashion capital in today's entertainment industry.

According to Victoria's idea, going to Milan is the best choice, but Beckham wants to participate in higher-level events. If he goes to AC Milan, he can only play the UEFA Cup, but Fiorentina can participate in the Champions League, one of Europe's top events.

So when Pakinwa found Beckham, he almost did not hesitate and immediately agreed.

For Beckham's joining Florence, Capello, the coach of the England national team, is also happy to see the success. In an interview with reporters, he also said: "I am very much looking forward to Beckham representing Fiorentina on the stage of the Champions League. He has always been a champion player!"

has found a new platform, and Beckham is also very clear that although Fiorentina's reputation is not as good as that of Manchester United and Real Madrid, it is not easy to play here.

Florence's training can be said to be the hardest of all Italian clubs, because most of the teams are young people, and it is the time when they have the greatest room for progress and the best physical fitness. Prandelli naturally increased the amount of training and worked hard to cultivate these players under his command.

Although Beckham came, it was obvious that Prandelli did not intend to change the training plan for him, and everything was still going according to the previous plan.

Beckham has just finished the game of Major League Baseball. Although he has been training himself, after all, he is not systematic and his physical fitness is obviously not enough to cope with the heavy training tasks in Florence, but he is persisting.

Beckham's persistence can be seen by Prandelli, as well as Degan.

When the day's training was over, Beckham felt that his legs had become heavy for two days, and then he followed the army to the physiotherapy room and asked the masseuse in the team to help relax his muscles.

When everything was over, Beckham was about to go home when Degan came over: "David! Let's have a drink together!"
