Beckham: Capello will help me prolong international career
David Beckham insists having Fabio Capello as England manager will help him prolong his international career. The LA Galaxy man won his 100th international cap during Wednesday's 1-0 in France, and knows Capello is key to his future.
And the former Manchester United man, who worked under Capello when the pair were at Real Madrid together, says that the Italian knows his game and he has nothing to prove but admits England have much to do.
"I've played under Fabio Capello before and he knows what I'm like as a player, you don't have to prove anything to managers on that side of things," said Beckham.
"We didn't win but as soon as a new manager comes in there's always a period where it takes a while to get going. But I think he was pleased. He was pleased with the way we passed the ball around in the first half against top opposition. But if you don't score in that spell then teams like France are always going to capitalise on that, and they did."
The entire England squad signed a shirt and presented it to Beckham before he left Paris. And Becks quickly confirmed he has no intentions of retiring, despite waving to the fans as he left the field.
"That wasn't goodbye," he insisted. "Definitely not. It was just a thank you."
