J´osai pas me prononcer sur ce sujet de peur de mettre le feu aux poudres ( ^^) mais si vous voulez lire un rammassis de conneries, vous savez quoi achetez ^^
Quand on voit que le Sun en a publié de larges extraits...
=>Voici un avis d´un journaliste du Manchester Evening News ^^
=>If Beckham intended to use his autobiography to set the record straight about how he was forced out of Old Trafford by Sir Alex Ferguson then - from what I read yesterday - he fails miserably.
In fact after reading those opening extracts, I can understand better than ever why Ferguson believed he had no choice but to show the exit door to a player he could no longer control.
A player who appeared to believe that had become more important than the club that paid his huge salary.
In his autobiography, Beckham recalls the occasion when Ferguson tells him that he will be on the subs bench for a Champions League match against Real Madrid at Old Trafford.
Beckham admits that he turned around and walked out of the changing-room without even giving Fergie a chance to explain his decision.
Personal view
In Beckham´s mind he was left out of the starting eleven against Real for personal reasons other than football reasons.
Ferguson has been accused of all sorts of things during his years at Old Trafford.
But letting personal feelings influence his team selection, particulary for a match as important as the one against Real Madrid? Sorry, I´m not buying that one.
Fergie would play Jack the Ripper if he thought it would get him three points.
Beckham also recalls the day of United´s Worthington Cup-tie against Chelsea, when the United players had been told to report at 1pm.
It was also the day of his son Brooklyn´s first Nativity play at school.
Beckham asked Ferguson if he could report later than the other players so he could watch Brooklyn, but was told in no uncertain terms to report at the same time as the other players. Understandably, Beckham was upset to miss out on his son´s big day. But, in making another appeal for sympathy in his autobiography, he misses the point again.
Any manager who affords special treatment to one individual is asking for big trouble.
Well-paid
Manchester United were paying Beckham a huge salary. To ask him to report for a match at the same time as the rest of his team-mates does not, to me, smack of a vendetta being waged by Ferguson against Beckham.
It is a way of reminding him that his club comes first and personal requirements second.
You might think those two incidents I have picked out from the extracts printed yesterday are relatively trivial. And indeed they are.
But to me they paint a picture of a player who felt that his celebrity status entitled him to be treated differently to the other " mere mortals" in Ferguson´s team.
They accepted their manager´s decisions without complaint and recognised that, occasionally, their club commitments would impinge on their family life.
Yes, it is clear from Beckham´s autobiography that Ferguson treated him harshly during his final few months at Old Trafford.
But there is no nice way for a manager to tell a player that he is surplus to requirements.
And Fergie certainly made sure that Beckham wasn´t going to say " no" when Real Madrid came-a-knocking.
But the feeling I got from reading Beckham´s side of the story in that tabloid yesterday was that he was the author of his own downfall at Old Trafford.
He says he had grown up and Ferguson didn´t like what he had become. At least he got that bit right.
Lock horns with Fergie, question his authority and there will only be one winner. And it won´t be the player.
Particularly if that player wears the captain´s armband when playing for his country and is surrounded by a permanent media circus.
