Everyone in the MLS is highly anticipating David Beckham’s return to the Galaxy. After extending his loan with AC Milan until the end of May, David will be back on the Los Angeles Galaxy pitch on July 16th, when the team takes on the New York Red Bulls. In the meantime, he’s plaing for his national team in two World Cup qualifying matches.
David chatted with MLS about his return. He’s been following the Galaxy’s progress closely throughout the season and is excited to return and make a contribution.
“We’ve been on a run of draws, but last year maybe those would have been losses,” he said. “There’s been times we’ve played some good football, and the guys have worked for each other. It’s not as if players are in there going through the motions … you can see the improvements.”
David thinks the biggest issue is simply a matter of confidence.
“It’s about that confidence. Once you get that win, then going on to get another win, that’s the biggest thing. I think when you go on a roll of losing games or even drawing it becomes sort of a psychological thing. You get it into your head that you’re going to draw the next game, then the next game until you get that win.”
David doesn’t think joining the team so late in the season will be an issue because of his work ethic and determination. He wants to show the players he is dedicated to the Galaxy, MLS and to playing the best football possible.
