Even when he is approaching his 50th birthday, England -legend David Beckham is still asked by people to participate in football matches -even by some colleagues of the game, still actively playing.
Beckham, who is now most active in the game as one of the co-owners of Inter Miami, has exchanged his shooting shoes for clothing shoes while running the most popular club in Major League Soccer.
But that does not mean that his own players, including Lionel Messi, do not try to invite him to train with them.
The former man in Manchester United told the health of men: 'You know what, they are always on me: Leo, Luis [Suarez]Jordi [Alba]Sergio [Busquets]. They will turn around and say, “Come on, come on, participate!” '
Beckham continued to refuse these requests to prepare his head coach, Javier Mascherano, without distraction.
He also told the magazine that his body might not be so much more.
“The funny was, recently I kicked a ball for Adidas and did some filming for my new predator shoes,” Beckham revealed. 'I did some free kicks, pinged some long steps and I was excitedly excited.
'I probably shouldn't say this, but I grew up in an era in which I didn't really warm up or stretch. So it was not unusual that it only took some balls on the half -line and ping them in the goal or to the bar.
“I came to the fifth, six and seventh – in the eighth, I ping it, and I had something like:” Oh sh*t, my quad! ” The man who filmed asked if I could do a few more. I had something like that: “No, I think we're having it!” '
The Miami team of Beckham is currently third in the Eastern Conference – after they have signed their first game, but winning their most recent match against the Houston Dynamo.
That game did not come without controversies. Although he was only the second game of the regular season of MLS, Messi did not play against Houston and did not travel with the team.
Messi was not injured, previously Mascherano decided to let him rest in the midst of a busy schedule.
In a statement on Saturday with indignant fans, the Dynamo responded a free ticket for another MLS match in the season.
Messi is expected to return to the field on Thursday when the herons are confronted with Jamaican team Cavalier SC in round of 16 Concacaf Champions Cup in Chase Stadium.
Messi, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets were replaced by the 3-1 Champions Cup victory of Miami on Sporting KC Midweek with Mascherano and later revealed that the changes had been deliberately to ensure that those players rest.
“Leo is fine. He's fine. He will normally train like the rest of his teammates, “said Maschernao on Friday morning when he was asked about Messi's fitness.
The coach was questioned about the ability of the veteran to keep playing at the level of fans, was used to see him in a season with the Champions Cup, MLS season, Club World Cup and League Cup.
“Look, every situation and the season is different and you have to put everything in context,” said Mascherano. 'We played in a knockout round [last week]. There was no way to rotate the schedule. We started the season in Kansas, where the Champions League is an important competition for us.
'Between those two games we had the start of the MLS season. That is also one of the competitions that we want to win. So if we are talking about being able to rotate and let the players rest, we have to see the context. We had to play three games [seven] To dawn.
“We didn't have the necessary rest because we changed on the first match date. It is what it is, we adapt to the circumstances.
