[b]David Beckham has revealed that he wanted to stay at Real Madrid
for another three seasons and regretted choosing to move to Major
League Soccer towards the end of last season.
The England midfielder opted to join Los Angeles Galaxy after he
was told that Madrid did not want to renew his contract in
January.
After an impressive second half to the campaign, coach Fabio
Capello and president Ramon Calderon, both stated that they had
made a mistake in allowing Beckham to leave.
"I felt capable of staying for longer at Real Madrid," the former
Manchester United star told Diario de Noticias.
"I think I could have still played for three more seasons at the
highest level, but as the club told me in January that they did not
want to renew my contract I took this decision."
Beckham admits that he felt regret the
day that Real Maded beat Mallorca to win the league title for the
first time in four years, but has vowed to follow the club's
fortunes from afar.
"That day my heart ached, but the decision was already taken," he
continued.
"I am going to continue to support Real Madrid and follow them next
season."
Reflecting on the sudden turnaround in the team's fortunes in the
final three months of the season, Beckham believes that it was
because the media had written off their chances.
"Nobody backed us and that removed a lot of the pressure. We were
able to work better," he said.
With the league title being his only major title in four seasons at
the Bernabeu, Beckham believes that the instability at the club
spoiled his chances of adding more silverware to his
collection.
"There were too many changes," he added. "Three presidents and six
coaches is too much.
"The players never stopped trying and we were the least guilty in
all this." [/b]
seems like he won't regret the decision if Real Madrid did not
win
so he wanted to stay just because Real Madrid won the la liga title
this season ?
