Several eyebrows were raised when David Beckham decided on joining Paris Saint-Germain in January. Some called it a publicity stunt while others went on to point out the cash-laden reserves of the Paris-based club. The midfielder
has however, shown through his recent performances that he means business and is here to help his new club win trophies.
Paris Saint-Germain’s sporting director, Leonardo couldn’t help to hide his sarcastic tone while talking to the reporters in a press conference after the game. The Brazilian reminded them of what was said about the 37-year-old
prior his arrival at the Parc des Princes, stating:
"We only signed him for the photo ops, press conferences and selling shirts. That's what you guys said, and it was confirmed tonight. You're the experts, the extraordinary consultants who said that that's what http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432 came
here for."
Carlo Ancelotti, who is currently coaching Paris Saint-Germain, has worked with David Beckham on a previous occasion while he was managing Milan. The Italian is glad to see the player fit for big games. Moreover, the coach thinks
that the midfielder showed no sign of fatigue despite his old age. He said:
"Beckham had a great game.”
Ancelotti added:
“He was solid. He showed that he can play, not that he's 37 years old."
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 coach, Elie Baup believes that Les Phoceens were caught off-guard as they weren’t expecting such great quality from the Englishman. The former goalkeeper didn’t feel hesitation in acknowledging the fact that
Beckham had a good game. Baup said:
"We weren't expecting to see Beckham with so much quality in his passing game. He played a good match."
Fellow Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Blaise-Matuidi-c7681, whose partnership with the former Manchester United star proved to cause their opponent serious trouble, believes that the veteran has shown his critics what he’s capable of.
Matuidi said:
"Beckham is exceptional. He's a great professional and a great guy as well. He shut his critics up tonight."
