"First, I would say David is a friend of mine and that he is a great player. He has chosen a change in his career and he deserves the utmost respect from everyone," Guti told a news conference.

"We would all like to see him not only training with us but playing as well, but it is a club decision that is out of our hands. We want every player to participate, especially ones as important as David."


guti told at the press conference about david beckham situation which has gone from bad to worse. it was nice of him to be supportive as they have been teammates for almost 4 yrs now and clearly this situation has gone too far.

"Beckham doesn't do anything for me. In the three years he has been here the results haven't been that good. Now we are trying a new way of doing things," said capello in his press conference later after the match against levante.


what has beckham done to hurt real madrid in such a way they treat him like hes nothing more than an overpaid player?. what hes done in the past 4 yrs has brought real to top spot of the richest football club on earth! they have 'robbed' becks image right by 50% and gained billions of euros (sorry we're not talking dollars here)! what more they could ask?. and to me hes a top professional by not filing any lawsuit against real for breaching his contract and shooting his mouth off in newspapers and magazines telling his terrible story in madrid. come on gentlemen....give him a break. let him enjoy his last moment wearing real jersey as his fans already craving for his actions in madrid. there are plenty of options as few players are injured and beckham is one of the reasonable candidates to fill in the gap. real need someone who can keep high balls for 90 mins and give unlimited supply to penalty box, and guess who can do such magic? yes, david beckham.

from what i can recall form capellos statement is the fact, that real madrid lost and left without trophies in the past 3 yrs was caused by beckhams "untidy" behaviour. zidane met his dreadful form and chose to end his career, although he still has 1 yr remaining in his contract, mainly was caused by instability in real dressing room. hes not the only player who suffers from real madrid dipping form, players such as raul, ronaldo, casillas and roberto carlos have been plagued by injuries and disappointment which led to downward physical fitness. raul has never been the same and ronaldo was left with only few goals scored last season. beckham should probably have chosen leaving real madrid and play with LA galaxy instead of hanging off balance in his former club.
