and why would we trust this Wenger guys opinion when Pele, Maradona and especially.. DirectorTecnico [of BigSoccer fame!!!] all agree that Becks isn't that great?
I really don't understand the bashing about Becks. All you had to do is watch the last do-or-die game for England to qualify for the Euros. He was one of, if not the, best English player on the pitch. He consistently made pinpoint, dangerous passes and got the assist for the one goal they scored. The rest of the team look like they had mentally given up.
I'm pretty sure every soccer fan has watched that 7 minute FK clip of him. That clip on youtube and that Ronaldinho clip where he's got the silver chain in his mouth at the very beginning lol. But yeah, that's probably my favorite clip on youtube of him. That one and the one with Our Lady Peace playing at the very beginning. It's not just that it's becks it's that i'm watching quality FK's. Alot of people simply don't do enough with the opportunities they are given at the 25 with an FK.
Why would anyone listen to Arsene Wenger? Just because he's worked and trained with Beckham day in and day out for 4 weeks doesn't give him any special insight. Clearly, fat old Maradonna, and just plain old Pele have a much better read on Beckham's current abilities. Not to mention the great Directortecnico, who knows all there is to know about soccer in general, and Beckham in particular.
