Beckham wants to concentrate on World Cup

March 27, 2009

David Beckham looks set to play in England’s friendly with Slovakia tomorrow and get even closer to the England caps record, infact becoming the most capped outfield player in England history. However Beckham is playing this down saying that he wants to concentrate on just getting England to the World Cup.

“It would be special but I would rather get the team to the World Cup than anything else.

“When I was on 94 caps I never expected to make 100.”

“I didn’t believe I would play for England once I was taken out of the team.

“When I was left out of the squad by [former coach] Steve McClaren I just allowed myself to be proud of the number of caps I had.

“As a young boy all I dreamed of was playing at Wembley and playing for my country, even if it was just the once.

“It was only when I got to 50 that I thought about reaching 100. But I definitely felt I would end up on 94.”

Beckham has been rejuvenated since his loan move to AC Milan which has seen him back to playing some of his best football.

“Once we’ve qualified I need to stay fit and get in the squad,” he said. “If that happens we will wait and see where I am on the caps front.

“If I break Shilton’s record then great. If not we will have to see what the future holds.”
