Both Feet On the Ground - Pt. 4

Like I stated in my last post, Beckham decided to move to Real Madrid. This team is no ordinary because it holds the greatest records in the world. They are very successful in finance and they are also very strong as a team because the squad consists of the Galacticos. The Galacticos are a name for the superstar soccer players in Real Madrid. Since Real Madrid was a big and a rich club, it was possible for them to buy any player they wanted. The members of the Galacticos were Zidane, Ronaldo, Raul, Van Nistelrooye, Roberto Carlos and other great players. Since Beckham was such a special player, he became part of the Galacticos.
It was hard for the Beckham family to move and leave everything behind. However, it was decided so they moved to Madrid and bought a beautiful building. During that time, David was under so much pressure from the paparazzi and the news scandal about the incident between Alex Ferguson and David. Every pre-season, it is Real Madrid's tradition to go to Japan and other countries to play. In his first game, Beckham scored for Real Madrid from Ronaldo's cross. Beckham describes that feeling very accurately, and wrote how it was amazing to work as a team in the all-white jersey.
Another thing about moving to Real Madrid is that he felt like he really fit into Real Madrid, even though the team didn't win any more titles since Beckham came. The titless two years were not because of Beckham. He helped in numerous games and enjoyed it. In his book, he said how he loved the Madrid fans and the love for the culture. Ofcourse, who wouldn't love that funny language.
