“I am going to be in favor here of five seasons”, indicated Beckham. “Like it is logical I have not arrived to dispute the party of Saturday before the Chelsea, who without doubt is a great club”.
David Beckham, new star of the Galaxy of Los Angeles, has begun his stage in Professional Liga of Fútbol (MLS) American with bad luck, because she is not going to be able to make debut tomorrow, Saturday, due to an injury in the left ankle.
Beckham, that went as watching to the Party of Stars of the MLS, disputed the last night in Commerce City (Colorado), the seat of the local equipment of the Rockies, in interview with the television network ESPN2, offered during the rest of the party, recognized that the left ankle followed inflamed.
“I am being put under an intense treatment, but until now I cannot say that it has surpassed the injury, but all the opposite I am not ready to be able to play because the inflammation persists”, declared Beckham.
The ex- player of the Manchester United and Real Madrid was very clear when the one of the debut remembered that it had signed a contract by five seasons and not only to dispute his first party.
“I am going to be in favor here of five seasons”, indicated Beckham. “Like it is logical I have not arrived to dispute the party of Saturday before the Chelsea, who without doubt is a great club”.
Beckham recognized that to have as rival to stars of the Chelsea was something with which to feel proud to make a debut in its new stage, but the evolution of the injury was the one that in the end decided.
“I must recognize that for the my, personally most important one at the moment it is my ankle and I do not think that it is in conditions when the hour arrives from the party”, recognized Beckham, that nevertheless, left the possibility open that can leave to the field some minutes.
But it insisted so that and as one felt it did not think that he was ready for the party of Saturday, although repeated that it would have to hope.
On the other hand, the general manager of the Galaxy, Alexi Lalas, also pleaded for a fast recovery of Beckham, although she reiterated that they are not going to run no risk.
“We maintain our confidence that Saturday can play the party, but cannot know nothing else until the hour does not arrive from the party”, Lalas explained. “What also we know very clearly he is that we are not going to do nothing that puts in danger its sport future and of health”.

Premium the player
The general manager of the Galaxy, which she said that they were conscious of the problem of the injuries before filing to Beckham, that the past underwent it 6 of June in party played with the selection of England, admitted that nor the television, nor the patrocinadores will be those that have the last word.
“It will be the technical body and the doctors of the equipment those that evaluate the physical state of Beckham”, assured Lalas. “We understand the great interest that the party for the television, the patrocinadores and the world of the soccer has generated, but all of them also include/understand, that to the margin that can be the player in the field, the moment are going to be important”.
Nevertheless, the main problem for Beckham and the Galaxy are not the debut of Saturday, but the rest of commitments of a tight calendar that have mounted based on “operating” to the maximum their presence and image, although its yield still cannot be wished, because the league with Real Madrid has arrived without no type of preparation and after the rest when concluding.

As much the selector of the English equipment, Steve McClaren, like the own Beckham has recognized that if it can continue being a positive contribution, is no doubt that will return to dress the t-shirt its country.
“We know that the arrival of more international talent to the MLS, also supposes that we will have to accept that these players will have to fulfill their greater professional dream than is the one to defend the colors of the uniform of its country and to demonstrate that we comprised of the global competition”, emphasized Lalas.
