Much has been said about David Beckham and his proposed move to Milan. Unfortunately much of what has been said has been unfair and probably a little unwarranted.

Beckham is coming back to Galaxy for the start of the new season. However, as he says, his whole career has revolved around playing and/or training for 11 months a year. Until moving to Galaxy, he had never had a three month ‘holiday’ at the end of a season.

After last seasons ‘holiday’, Beckham found it difficult to resume playing. He is over 30 now with a body that has been playing football for over 20 years, the past 15 as a professional. In a nutshell, his move to Milan at the end of the season is to stay fit, not just in the legs, but in the head as well, and that comes from playing quality football rather than simple training on the track.

It’s a good move by Beck’s. He stays fit, he gets to play again in a top line competition, and of course, as a bonus, he is closer to the English national World Cup team. Is it coincidence? Of course not. The would have been on his mind when considering what to do. But then - what’s wrong with that?
