Beckham: AC Milan are truly special



David Beckham dreams of scoring the winner against Manchester United, as Milan are “a special club with unique dedication to football.”

The England star fought tooth and nail to extend his loan spell past March 9 and will return to LA Galaxy only in a time-share system from July to November.

“Milan are special for everyone who loves football,” he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

“You hear their history, but don’t realise what it really means until you are involved. I’m not just talking about the players.

“Everything here is special, from the infrastructure to the people who work here, from the chef to the cleaners. It is a unique place, I’ve never seen such dedication to football.”

The Rossoneri are out of the UEFA Cup and Adriano Galliani has warned there may not be too many signings in the summer. Is Beckham worried?

“If I were the President, I’d be happy with what I have. When these players are fit and healthy, Milan are fantastic.

“I dream of playing the Champions League with Milan next season. I miss it very much and would love to score the winning goal in the Final.

“If it were against Manchester United? Well, that would be a problem, but if that happened next season I’d still want to win it, even if I support United.

“For this season I would like to see Manchester United-Barcelona. My former teammates would win, because at this moment United are too strong for anyone, even if when Steven Gerrard plays then Liverpool are remarkable.”

The three Serie A sides were squeezed out of the Champions League by Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, so does this make the Premier League better than Italian?

“I don’t think there’s a big difference, to be honest,” assured Beckham.

One of the reasons behind his demands to stay in Serie A is targeting a spot in the 2010 World Cup.

“I can bring my experience, because this is a young England squad,” he concluded. “I’m just happy to be useful to the side and work with Fabio Capello again, as he changed our mentality and we really needed that.”
