Clarence Seedorf delighted with team mate Beckham

Tuesday 13 January 2009

Clarence Seedorf thinks that his club AC Milan did well in taking David Beckham on board.

The English midfielder made his debut for the Italian giants on Sunday against AS Roma and Seedorf thinks he did that very well.

"Yes, I think he did very well. In the second half he played even better than in the first. He needs to find to his rhythm and he has to get to know us a little better but he can be satisfied with his first game."

Seedorf praised Beckham's qualities: "He is an intelligent player with good positional play. So I don't expect any problems for him to fit in here."

David Beckham himself was also very pleased with his first appearance.

"It was great," he said.

"I didn't expect to start, but I enjoyed it. It was great to be out there with some of the players in that team."

"I felt great, a lot better and stronger than I thought I was going to feel. I was glad the manager kept me on for as long as he did because obviously I need time on the field to get match fitness."
