LA Galaxy Say Beckham Is Worth
The Money
LA Galaxy president Alexi
Lalas says David Beckham is worth his multi-million dollar
move and could revolutionise football in the
States.
Beckham, 31, will move to
Galaxy from Real Madrid at the end of the season in a
five-year deal worth $250m.
Lalas said: "He's worth
every penny, since we announced the deal we've sold
thousands of season tickets and shirts. He will help
revolutionise Major League Soccer economically and from a
football point of view."
Beckham's mammoth deal
includes bonuses and endorsements, and Lalas admitted: "It
is a deal from which both parties will benefit.
"He has given the club a
lot although he hasn't even played yet. If you want
something great, you have to pay for it. He was England
captain and shone at Manchester
United and Real
Madrid, two of the world's biggest clubs. He is one of the
best players in the world, but he will have to fight for his
place here. If he doesn't perform, he will have to go on the
bench like anybody else. We play a 4-4-2 system and although
he plays well on the flank, I have thought about playing him
in the centre because he works so hard. From there he can
play long and short passes."
Although Beckham's
first-team opportunities at Real look remote, Lalas said the
former England captain is not looking to join up with Galaxy
early.
Lalas said: "I would love
for him to come in April but he told us it was very
important to him to complete his contract with Real. We will
wait for him with open arms in the summer."
