at this point of time i think i should introduce to u my idols or the persons from whom i seek inspiration ....the first person that springs to my mind in undoubtedly the best free kick taker in the world,david beckham....there have been a lotta criticism on him about not performing on the pitch....but he still remains the most sought after player by any club....people might not accept this but this is true....in fact manchester united have not won the premiership since he left(though its only 2 years),but the fact remains that there was an unavoidable void created in the team....he was and still is the best passer of the ball....the pass which bisected two defenders through to ronaldo for a goal is still is vividly clear after almost 2 yrs in my mind....such is the impression he leaves after a game....but probably he saved the best for his last game for man utd and that came against real madrid....he was surprsingly left out on the bench adding to the rift between him n sir alex....real madrid played the best i thought they have ever played....people compared it to the days when de stefano and puskas ran through defences for real....real true to their name(real means royal in spanish),took a commanding 6-3 lead on the aggregate....then in the second half was introduced david beckham....he scored 2 quick goals and the agrregate was 6-5 to real....real players had no answers to his movement....a fact that was later acknowledged by zidane....in the 90th minute,beckham earned a free kick for himself....raul who did not play that match had told later that it was the most tense moment of his career as he sat back n watched the master bend it....fortunately for real the ball missed the poles by a whisker....
the game ended and after the season,it was clear that beckham was leaving....leaving man utd and his father figure,sir alex who nurtured his football skills as a youg player in the man utd youth team and was probably the most instrumental person in shaping up his career....three clubs were pressing for him....ac milan,barcelona,real....real president fiorentino perez played the waiting game....after milan n barca let go their desire to sign him s they cld not afford the price,real opened the doors for him for a record transfer....a day later fiorentino perez called his assistant who was pressing him to sign bekham for a long,lomg time and said "congratulations,sunshine"....the great beckham had joined the great real madrid team and was now a part of the "galacticos" as they would call.
