Galaxy “Happy” David Beckham was on Bench
Even though David Beckham was restricted to the sidelines during the L.A. Galaxy game yesterday, his bench-side presence was important.
“We were real happy he wanted to be a part of the team and on the bench,” Galaxy general manager Alexi Lalas told reporters at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
“He was excited and animated and he really wants this team to win. He’s frustrated, he wants to play and, to a certain extent, he feels he’s letting people down.
“But this is a long-term process. He’s going to be with us for a long time and we need to get him 100 percent healthy. We’ve got plenty of games. We just need to get him healthy.”
However, the bonding time he gets from spending time on the bench could prove to be invaluable.
“It’s good to have him around,” the former Canada international said. “It’s a boost of morale for the team because he’s right behind us and he’s always been from day one, to be honest.
“I felt it was good if he got a bit of the atmosphere tonight. It was a great atmosphere and I think, at the end there, he saw a bit of fight.”
It’s great to see Beckham settling into his new team. His current deal with the L.A. Galaxy is for five years.
