David Beckham announced the 11 of January that he would not renew with Real Madrid and that he would sign with Los Angeles Galaxy. Two days later, Capello said in a press conference that the Englishman would not return to play again in the shirt of Real Madrid, he even separated him from the group in some training sessions. His team-mates never looked well on this decision and they have always considered Beckham to be in everything a professional, a friend and a good companion (in the case of Cassano they do not think the same and they do not get upset). The team feels sorry to see see Beckham training separately, they share jokes with him in an effort to cheer him up. They want to see him in the side again and thus they have been saying so publicly one by one, and also privately they have made their feelings known to Capello and Mijatovic.
In the heat of crisis, the 16 of January, Calderón criticized the team in a meeting with students and that caused a meeting between the team and Capello, Mijatovic and the president. Among many subjects, it was requested that Beckham return to play and Raul two days later said in a press conference: “I hope that they can vary some things. [Beckham] while he is player of Madrid, he is going to try to give everything to the shirt”.
After Raul, Casillas also spoke in support of Beckham: “In spite of being 30 years old, his football continues to give joy”. And Michel Salgado was still more direct: “I think just like Raul. He is a player who can help us to gain titles. To leave David out with six months of the season reamining is very unwise”.
The next to take up the cause was Helguera, who experienced a similar situation at the beginning of season when he was made to train with the youth team: “I do not know if Beckham will play more. It is a very bad situation. He is very hard-working and it is not necessary to do this”. Guti was yesterday the last player who pronounced itself pleased with his team-mate and showed his support.
Meanwhile, Beckham does not resign and hopes that the situation changes; thus he has confessed to his companions. While, every day he arrives early at Valdebebas, trains well, confides with the team, visits with the team in the changing room before each match, watches and suffers from his theater box through the game, and then returns to see his team-mates after the encounter… An example.
But the decision of Capello also is questionable from the economic point of view. Beckham costs Real Madrid 56,849 euros a day (almost nine million pesetas). If Capello keeps but does not call the player until June, the player would have spent 169 days on the sidelines, at a cost of 9.607.481 euros thrown to the wind. Almost 1,600 million of the old pesetas. At the moment, the 25 days already on the margins have cost 1.421.225 euros.
