Beckham: I Will Never Criticise Capello
(Goal.com) - David Beckham has spoken of the respect he has for Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello.
The Italian tactician froze Beckham out of the squad after he revealed that he would be joining LA Galaxy at the end of the season.
But the former Manchester United star is now back in Capello’s plans after proving his commitment to the cause with some full-blooded displays.
"I was really surprised," Beckham said of his initial omission. "He (Capello) has always been pretty fair with me.
"He's been really respectful of me as a person and a player and that's why it was such a surprise.
"But he's shown what sort of a person and man - and manager - he is now.
"I'm thankful (to Capello). I would never come out publicly and criticise him. He's too respected in the game and I respect him.
"(I reacted) the same way I've always come back from things, like whenever people say I'm not up to the job."

What's this oaf Beckham talking about? He already has criticised Capello & Madrid's heads' months ago when he went to the press to cry. It was like an oaf verbal mud slinging match going on with Beckham saying this, Capello saying that, Beckham saying this, Madrid's heads' say that & on & on!

Alright! Enough already! Who cares! Is this really that important? Of course not! Beckham & Capello can't stand one another! It's old news! Most important nobody cares!

It's odd actually. I can't for the life of me understand David Beckham's point. Some months back it was all over the soccer news about the Beckham verses Madrid War with all the bad mouthing going both ways' so what does he think? The general public is so stupid? I think he's just addicted to attention. He has to have it. I also think he should thank God he's lucky enough to be so wealthy & make such a fine living at a sport he's not very good at. Let it die Beckham. Count your money.

I'm sick and tired of hearing how Beckham's always sick and tired.

Becks has no reason to criticise Capello, he made a business decision and a football decision. He's always shown him respect, so Becks is right to show Capello respect.
