Beckham says goodbye to Real Madrid 貝克漢告別皇馬

On June 17 David Beckham ended his time with Real Madrid. He described Real Madrid's title win as one of his greatest achievements.

Beckham said the championship win made up for some difficult times since he arrived in Spain in 2003, both on and off the pitch.

"It's been an incredible experience but all I remember now is the great things ... It meant the world to have everyone [here] that supported me throughout my career: my whole family, my wife, my mum and dad, my sister and children. It's incredible," a delighted Beckham said.

Real coach Fabio Capello said he had made a mistake by not signing Beckham up again. Beckham stunned the world by announcing in January that he had signed a five-year deal with an American team, LA Galaxy.

"He was and still is a great player ... and without a doubt is one of the best players I've ever coached," said Capello.

大衛．貝克漢效力皇家馬德里的生涯在六月十七日畫下句點，他形容皇馬奪冠是他最大的成就之一。

貝克漢表示，自二００三年加入西班牙皇馬隊以來，球場上及球場外的他歷經了一段低潮期，這次贏得西甲聯賽冠軍，讓他一掃之前的陰霾。

貝克漢開心地說：「那是一段奇妙的體驗，但現在我只記得最美好的部份...我們全家人、我老婆、父母、妹妹及孩子們都一路支持我。真是美妙。」

皇馬總教練法比歐．卡佩羅表示，沒與貝克漢續約是個錯誤。貝克漢今年一月宣布與美國洛杉磯銀河隊簽下五年合約的消息震驚全球。

卡佩羅說：「過去相當傑出的他，現在仍是位十分優秀的球員...他無疑是我指導過最棒的球員之一。」（法新社／翻譯：林倩如）
