Fabio Capello made the announcement that David Beckham’s international career has come to an end, but he wants David to get one last run in before it’s over. David Beckham has been playing for the England National Soccer Team for more than 10 years. He’s not only been a great player on the pitch, but he’s been an icon for the team.
David Beckham is currently the leader in all time caps for England’s National Team. He’s made 115 appearances for the squad throughout his years. He missed this previous World Cup in South Africa as a player because of an injury, but they still brought him along because of his influence on the current players.
At this time England’s preparing for their next major event; the 2012 European Championship. Now that David is 35 years old, England won’t need him. They’re looking for young blood as they can’t keep living in the past. However, all of England must agree with Capello’s decision to give David the opportunity to say farewell and play one more international match.
Capello has decided to give David Beckham the opportunity to get one more cap for England. This will be an opportunity for David to say farewell and thanks to the fans. The picture perfect setting would be at their home field (Wembley Stadium). I admire Capello’s decision to give David this chance, but many people aren’t happy that Capello’s counted him out for the future.
As Beckham ages, he’s become a better leader on the pitch. He’s learned how to play his role exactly as it should be. But Capello doesn’t think this is good enough anymore. England can’t be satisfied with decent results anymore. Capello’s on a mission to get the up and coming players going as soon as possible. Out with the old, in with the new!
Many England supporters were surprised to see Capello coming out with this news before speaking to Beckham regarding his future. Capello said he had not talked to David yet.
Beckham’s agent came back with a response to Capello’s statements that basically said after David’s farewell game, it’s over. His agent made it clear that David is not ready to retire and is very serious about playing international matches if he’s fit.
Beckham’s agent said that when David is fit, he’s ready and available to play for England. He also confirmed they haven’t even discussed retirement, so he’s probably hoping to make the 2012 squad. As a fan, I’d love to see him out there but I don’t think he’s their answer at this point in his career.
