Clarence Seedorf doubts whether Beckham
is good enough
Thursday 13 November 2008
Clarence Seedorf told British TV
channel Sky Sports that he is not sure whether David
Beckham is still good enough to play for AC Milan.
Beckham will join Seedorf's club
AC Milan in January for a few months while the MLS is
in recess.
The primary purpose for Beckham
to go to Milan is to maintain his fitness so he will
not lose his spot in the English national team.
Seedorf said he will welcome Beckham
with arms wide open, but also said that he doubts whether
Beckham will actually play for Milan.
"I don’t even know if
he’ll be able to play for us. I mean the first
goal is for him to get fit and in the best shape possible.
Training with a club like AC Milan will definitely improve
his game even if it’s only from a training point
of view. But I don’t know if he’ll play, that’s
another thing completely."
He added: "He should focus
on his physical state, train as hard as possible in
a structure that's one of the best in the world to prepare
for games with England which I think is his final goal
and that's right.
"2010 is not that far away
so he has to work hard and show Capello he's still here.
I was in Albania for a friendly match when we found
out," he said.
"There was a lot of discussion
about Beckham coming an we were all excited about how
it would work, how he would fit in. Everyone is excited
of course, we're looking forward to it. Personally I
will help him out to achieve his goals, knowing that
he's a great professional and he'll help us to do the
same thing."
