In May 2013, the former Manchester United midfielder and England captain, 37-year-old David Beckham, announced his retirement as a professional player. What shocked millions of fans who love and remember him in the form of Real Madrid, Milan and PSG. Most fans still do not believe in the departure of the perennial idol, continuing to wait for Bex in the stadiums.
Where is Beckham's house?
Where is the person's home? The answers may be different: where he was born, constantly lives with his family or works. A professional athlete's home is usually located in the same place where he is currently playing, and changes along with relocation from one club to another.
The champion of four countries at once (England, Spain, USA, France) David Beckham is no exception. The native of London began his football career at 14, signing his first contract with the Manchester academy and moving from the geographical capital of England to the industrial one. In Manchester, Beckham played until 2003, replacing him with the Spanish capital Madrid, and the United club for a much larger number of titles and stars won in the Real Madrid.
The next city where the Beckham family began to live was the capital of California, where the footballer moved to a club called Los Angeles Galaxy in 2007. However, in the "Galaxy" he did not stay, soon went to Italy to conquer the capital of Haute Couture Milan. And at the same time the local club of the same name.
From January to May 2013, the large Beckham family admired from the windows of their new home the capital of France, Paris, and the place of work of its head was the champion of this country, Paris Saint-Germain. And only having said in it to football, partners, coaches and fans "Goodbye!", David and his wife Victoria chose the capital for their residence, perhaps only of beaches and resort recreation. It is called Miami and is located in the North American state of Florida.
During his playing career, David Beckham played 540 matches for six professional club teams, scoring 97 goals in them. He also has 115 games and 17 goals in the form of the English national team.
It's time to play. But not football
Having finished shooting free throws and giving assists to partners, Beckham clearly did not stop playing. It's just that he does not play his new games in stadiums. And now David is dressed not in a football uniform, but in a civil suit of a calculating and successful businessman.
The list of such commercial games with Beckham's participation is quite extensive. The first is the purchase for $ 25 million of the rights to create a strong European football team in Miami by 2017 and build an arena large enough for the United States for 25 thousand spectators.
The second game is the appearance in stores of huge editions of autobiographical books "Both Feet on the Ground" and "David Beckham". This also includes numerous film and television projects with the participation of a football player who has long established himself as a completely photogenic actor. By the way, most of the tapes are dedicated to your favorite football. Among them, for example, "Coach", "Play like Beckham", "Goal!", "Real Madrid", "Class 92" and others.
Game number 3 for David is to participate in various advertising projects that bring the star family not only pleasure and popularity, but also money. You can recall, for example, the video where David interprets Beethoven's "Ode to Joy", skillfully combining football and classical music. The ambassador of football in China is quite confident in advertising a large network of American casinos in Asia. Fortunately, gambling in Macau and Singapore is still allowed.
Certainly, it was not without deductions to the player's wallet and from the creators of the computer game "Help Beckham Get Ready." She is popular among those who like to play "like Beckham" exclusively at home.
Play like Beckham
Another game that not only David, but also his family is now happily mastering, is communication between dad and four children. He especially enjoys playing with his daughter Harper. As for the sons, Brooklyn and Romeo clearly followed in the footsteps of Beckham Sr. and were actively involved in football. And if the 15-year-old Brooklyn also signed a contract with the Manchester United academy, then the 11-year-old Romeo began training at the London Arsenal.
Beckham liked to participate in the TV show. In one such, called Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, the former footballer played along with the host in a variation of Russian Roulette. True, instead of a revolver and one cartridge, there were 12 chicken eggs in the studio drum, a third of which turned out to be raw. According to the rules, the players had to take turns hitting them on their heads until one of them smashed the raw one. Beckham turned out to be such a "lucky" …
