I hope you are not talking about me because I do not even care about his looks or that other nonsense. I think Beckham is extremely overrated because he is a one dimensional player who is only good at freekicks and having a fair passing range. His tackling is pathetic, his ball control is sketchy, his positioning is the same, and he lacks the quality of the Zidanes, Figos, Ronaldinhos, Decos, and Nedveds. Like one player so rightly stated a couple weeks ago, "There are 10,000 players in the world who are better than Beckham." Can't get much closer than that, a player who played against the England "Captain." Over the weekend against Osasuna he showed his true quality, giving the ball away at least 15 times and looking out of place next to players like Zidane and even Guti. That is not world class and quite frankly giving Beckham that title is a complete joke. Even some hard core English fans will say Beckham is a joke. Thats good enough right there.
I wasn't talking about you....
He's one of the best Freekicks takers in world's histoy and i mean it...To say Beckham is fair on Passing , aint fair, Maybe he's lacking this in Real Madrid, but am quite sure his touch is WorldClass also, am not a fan of him, but i gotta admit it.....
I agree he's not good when it's about Tackling or defending, but you have to know there are only few players that are Complete, i mean can Tackle, Shoot, Dribble, Defend, everything, it's rare to find a player like this, Zidane, Camoranesi, Figo, Deco, many other players Sucks when it's about tackling or defending, So Beckham is not complete Just like anyother player.
Zidane is awesome dribbler and shooter, (this is what he's made for), So beckham is good Freekicker and Passer and Crosses, Corner....I don't expect much more from him.....
