The regular season of Major League Soccer 2010 is coming to an end, and the Los Angeles Galaxy's David Beckham has emerged as the favorite to win its first division title since 2005 American honor. "I think this year we can win the league, "he told FIFA.com Beckham, former England captain and present in three FIFA World Cups, in a recent exclusive interview." When we play with passion and intensity, and not lose concentration, We are a very difficult team to beat, "added the midfielder, who returned to the pitch last month after recovering from a torn Achilles tendon that removed him from the finals in South Africa 2010.
After landing MLS in the U.S. three years ago, the path of Beckham has suffered all kinds of ups and downs, despite being billed as the most important signing in the history of the league for its commissioner, Don Garber. Beckham, still recovering from an ankle injury in time to debut with his team in the European summer of 2007, barely caused a sensation in his first campaign, in which the Galaxy could not enter the playoffs for the title. His bad run of form continued in 2008 too loose a campaign that led to the dismissal of coach Ruud Gullit and Alexi Lalas general director, and was marked mostly by a controversial media between Beckham and his club-mate Landon Donovan.
In 2009, Beckham missed most of the season by the first of two assignments to the Italian Milan. And though, with Bruce Arena as coach, the team of Southern California seemed the clear favorite to win the title, eventually saw a modest Real Salt Lake will halt in a penalty shootout in the final. Now the Galaxy seems to have returned to find the ideal pace, and Beckham, again in top form at 35 years, is eager to add another trophy to the winning in England with Manchester United and Spain with the very famous " Galacticos of Real Madrid. Since the Galaxy has led the league for most of the course, the third U.S. championship title appears Los Angeles-ahead for the set.
"I think our team really has what it takes to reach the final," said Beckham days before the Galaxy try to seal his first position in the regular season against FC Dallas, and that after this Sunday's game, know the identity of his first opponent in the playoffs. In the five games he has played since returning from injury, the English player has continued to serve these facilities from band that made him famous on the turf and in its infancy. As stated Pablo Mastroeni, Colorado Rapids midfielder: "He does not simply focus the ball, places it in the minds of the people."
After describing as "one of the most difficult shots of his career the Achilles tendon rupture suffered in March while playing on loan at Milan, Beckham's return to the pitch and their performance is being very impressive. Despite to have been often accused of coming to America only for money, dying like a step backwards in the decline of his career and had been virtually removed, English has proven to be just as willing to fight and always work not only for the success of his team but also for the sake of the young league. "I think the MLS has the potential to belong to the elite leagues in the world," he added. "Every year there are new clubs, and the quality of football is continuously improving. "
When Beckham ended up in Los Angeles in 2007, his signing was compared with the arrival of Pele to the Cosmos in New York 30 years ago and was expected to have a similar impact. Remains to be seen whether his legacy will cause the same sensation as that of Pele, but Beckham believes the only way to progress the league is that the big names go there to play. "The new players who are coming are making the difference. Just this year we have Rafa Marquez and Thierry Henry, who are big names in football, "he said in relation to the signings of bells made by the New York Red Bulls, the team of the plant is expected to face the Galaxy in the title race the MLS. "If the teams are covering the gap and continue taking with them from Europe to the players first class [MLS] can be definitely up to some of the best leagues in the world."
For the Galaxy, the title would be a giant step to silence the skeptics who say the arrival of Beckham to the MLS was more a matter of marketing and non-sporting celebrity than merely football. "There have been an improvement since I came here, it is clear," he said. "Overall, interest has soared. Are being built new stadiums and the fans come to the field continuously. They are signs of a significant progression, and the best is yet to come."
