David Beckham Quotes

Others say about Beckham... Zico "His judgement of distance and power is amazing. Beckham is one of the best in the world at taking free kicks. But I scored a few in my day too. I don't want to blow my own trumpet but I think I was at the same sort of level." Lineker "One certainty for me is that Beckham will become a much better player. Playing alongside the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo and Roberto Carlos, it would be impossible not to improve, and the biggest winner is likely to be England manager Sven-Goran riksson." "In La Liga, teams play much more of a possession game than they do in the Premiership, and Beckham, will have to adapt to that, as well as learning how to combat different defensive systems. My time at Barcelona definitely helped me to develop as an overall player." Ronaldo "If he’s more famous here (in Madrid, Spain) there are places that I’m more famous than he is." "Maybe I have won more titles, and maybe he’s more marketable than I am, that could be. But for my career it doesn’t matter. I don’t see it as an important thing, it’s a comparison that does not matter." Pele "He is more of a popstar than a player these days." Zidane "You should not expect more from him (after his move to Real Madrid) than he showed while at Manchester United." "There is already a lot of pressure on him. He needs time to settle. Beckham should be (allowed to be) himself and bring his own qualities to the team." "Every year they raise the bar at Real. First there was (Luis) Figo, then me, then Ronaldo. With Beckham coming and with the strength of this team as a whole, the objective will be to win both (the Champions League and Spanish title) this season." "Beckham has already shown he fits in well. It's a bit early to say, but things looks very good already, even after just one match."
