Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:18,768
I wanted a place
2
00:00:19,352 --> 00:00:21,104
where we could escape.
3
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:23,898
As soon as I get into the countryside,
4
00:00:23,982 --> 00:00:27,610
I normally get into my whole
country getup, which I'm not now.
5
00:00:28,319 --> 00:00:30,780
And I've got a stick and I walk around.
6
00:00:30,864 --> 00:00:33,783
I sit out here, have a cup of coffee.
7
00:00:37,620 --> 00:00:38,955
I like this spot.
8
00:00:39,664 --> 00:00:41,541
My favorite view of the house.
9
00:00:44,502 --> 00:00:47,589
I can also see Victoria
if she's naked, in the top window.
10
00:00:50,842 --> 00:00:52,969
- What is this, a pitch?
- Yeah.
11
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:55,722
How often do you
still kick a soccer ball?
12
00:00:55,805 --> 00:00:57,182
Oh, sorry. Football.
13
00:00:57,265 --> 00:00:59,267
Romeo comes out here all the time.
14
00:00:59,934 --> 00:01:02,979
He wants a match
between my mates and his mates.
15
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:05,231
He said, "Who would you invite?"
And I said, "Well,
16
00:01:06,858 --> 00:01:10,070
maybe I'd get Gary round,"
and he was like, "Okay."
17
00:01:12,113 --> 00:01:15,283
And I said I could probably get
Roberto Carlos to come over,
18
00:01:15,366 --> 00:01:18,244
and maybe, uh,
maybe Ronaldo, he would step over.
19
00:01:19,621 --> 00:01:22,582
Maybe Figo, maybe Zidane.
20
00:01:22,665 --> 00:01:26,628
He'd be like, "Well, that's not fair.
Why would you do that?"
21
00:01:28,254 --> 00:01:31,299
And I'd be like, "Because I'm gonna win.
We're gonna win."
22
00:01:33,802 --> 00:01:35,553
I'm not letting his mates beat us.
23
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:39,599
{n8}David has a very small pitch in England.
24
00:01:39,682 --> 00:01:42,310
{n8}He said, "One day, I wanna get
Figo and Ronaldo
25
00:01:42,393 --> 00:01:44,437
{n8}to play my son and his friends."
26
00:01:44,521 --> 00:01:46,397
{n8}Maybe we could just arrange a game.
27
00:01:47,565 --> 00:01:48,817
Against his kids?
28
00:01:50,401 --> 00:01:52,237
I will kill them. The kids.
29
00:02:17,595 --> 00:02:19,180
We had a short honeymoon.
30
00:02:19,264 --> 00:02:23,560
And we ended up at Andrew Lloyd Webber's
house in the South of France.
31
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:25,770
I have no idea how we ended up there.
32
00:02:27,063 --> 00:02:29,983
We were meant to be there for ten days.
33
00:02:30,817 --> 00:02:34,070
But the manager called me
about five days in, said,
34
00:02:34,154 --> 00:02:35,905
"I need you back in training."
35
00:02:37,657 --> 00:02:39,993
Ringing David up five days
after his wedding
36
00:02:40,076 --> 00:02:43,163
{n8}is classic Sir Alex Ferguson.
37
00:02:43,246 --> 00:02:45,874
"Get back here,
you flash bastard."
38
00:02:48,918 --> 00:02:51,337
Sir Alex Ferguson had an uncanny habit...
39
00:02:55,425 --> 00:02:57,302
...of bringing you back down to earth.
40
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:03,224
{n8}Did you think it'd be difficult
for him to keep his focus at that point?
41
00:03:03,308 --> 00:03:05,435
At that point, it was not a problem.
42
00:03:06,769 --> 00:03:08,188
But he was a stubborn lad.
43
00:03:09,397 --> 00:03:12,942
Welcome to the start
of a new English football season.
44
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:15,403
United, of course, the treble winners.
45
00:03:15,486 --> 00:03:19,115
And the newly-knighted Sir Alex Ferguson.
46
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:22,410
The job he has this season
is lifting his players
47
00:03:22,493 --> 00:03:24,829
to perform more heroics.
48
00:03:25,872 --> 00:03:29,209
He was stubborn in the sense
that a lot of people are stubborn.
49
00:03:29,709 --> 00:03:31,711
And it's not a criticism,
50
00:03:31,794 --> 00:03:34,923
it's, it's part of the makeup that,
51
00:03:35,006 --> 00:03:37,800
they've got a determination
about them and they've got
52
00:03:37,884 --> 00:03:39,677
a certain desire about them
53
00:03:39,761 --> 00:03:42,680
that they don't want people
to change them.
54
00:03:43,181 --> 00:03:46,267
Beckham, of course,
just finished his honeymoon.
55
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,229
The honeymoon is over.
56
00:03:51,606 --> 00:03:53,274
Okay. So, what happened?
57
00:03:53,983 --> 00:03:57,487
I went to an event
in London with Victoria.
58
00:04:00,531 --> 00:04:02,825
Went back to Victoria's house,
59
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:05,536
and Brooklyn has a really,
really high temperature.
60
00:04:06,829 --> 00:04:09,332
And he wakes up throughout the night.
61
00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:12,252
I phoned in and just said,
62
00:04:12,335 --> 00:04:16,506
"I'm not gonna be at training today
because Brooklyn is terribly ill."
63
00:04:18,841 --> 00:04:20,969
I don't think anyone believed me.
64
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:27,475
Because I got pictured
with a glass of champagne.
65
00:04:33,564 --> 00:04:36,150
Went to go into training the next day.
66
00:04:38,069 --> 00:04:41,572
And the boss came out
and told me to go inside.
67
00:04:41,656 --> 00:04:44,784
So then, obviously,
we had a bit of an argument on the pitch.
68
00:04:45,827 --> 00:04:49,747
This morning's headlines told
of the hard line according to Sir Alex.
69
00:04:50,999 --> 00:04:54,711
Parents in Manchester were divided
on the David-as-doting-dad issue.
70
00:04:54,794 --> 00:04:58,631
- Stay at home and your kids come first.
- He should have supported his team.
71
00:05:04,429 --> 00:05:06,139
Alex, God bless you!
72
00:05:08,725 --> 00:05:10,810
I had a hairdresser
at the time called Tyler.
73
00:05:10,893 --> 00:05:12,812
I said I'm gonna cut my hair, he was like,
74
00:05:12,895 --> 00:05:14,856
"Are you sure? You really wanna do that?"
75
00:05:17,859 --> 00:05:20,361
Before the game, David has a hat on.
76
00:05:21,195 --> 00:05:25,783
{n8}And Sir Alex asks him to take his hat off.
77
00:05:26,409 --> 00:05:27,409
"No."
78
00:05:27,952 --> 00:05:30,038
And he said, "David, take the cap off."
79
00:05:30,538 --> 00:05:31,581
And I said, "No."
80
00:05:32,540 --> 00:05:33,708
Stubbornness.
81
00:05:34,917 --> 00:05:36,544
And then I said, "Oh well."
82
00:05:41,758 --> 00:05:43,926
There's a new look
about David Beckham.
83
00:05:45,303 --> 00:05:47,597
The blond locks have gone.
84
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,850
The sight of the skinhead
will take a bit of getting used to.
85
00:05:51,434 --> 00:05:53,186
Come on.
86
00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:55,271
You're asking for a bollocking.
87
00:05:55,355 --> 00:05:56,564
You're asking for trouble.
88
00:05:58,232 --> 00:06:00,360
He knew that would piss Sir Alex off.
89
00:06:04,781 --> 00:06:06,032
So why do it?
90
00:06:08,701 --> 00:06:10,578
That was his personality.
91
00:06:10,661 --> 00:06:12,872
- Never bothered you?
- Never bothered me.
92
00:06:12,955 --> 00:06:15,166
I thought, "You better
back it up at the weekend."
93
00:06:16,501 --> 00:06:17,668
Beckham.
94
00:06:18,503 --> 00:06:20,129
He was always gonna go for it!
95
00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:23,800
Oh yes! A new look,
but the same old free kicks.
96
00:06:27,804 --> 00:06:30,056
Did it affect your relationship
with Sir Alex?
97
00:06:30,139 --> 00:06:31,766
No. Not at all.
98
00:06:32,266 --> 00:06:34,644
- Are you afraid of him?
- At times.
99
00:06:34,727 --> 00:06:37,897
Okay, at the moment,
Alex is saying he doesn't want to talk.
100
00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:41,651
I don't think anybody's upset him.
But we've asked for Beckham's hairdresser.
101
00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:44,779
I never did it to create attention.
102
00:06:44,862 --> 00:06:45,988
I'm not that person.
103
00:06:50,952 --> 00:06:52,703
When David Beckham
shaved his head,
104
00:06:52,787 --> 00:06:55,206
{n8}I honestly thought
a member of my family had died.
105
00:06:55,289 --> 00:06:56,874
{n8}Because my phone went off.
106
00:06:56,958 --> 00:07:00,461
The panic in people's voices that this...
We haven't got it documented.
107
00:07:03,881 --> 00:07:06,259
Do you know,
this is going to take absolutely ages.
108
00:07:11,514 --> 00:07:13,182
Jesus Christ.
109
00:07:14,559 --> 00:07:17,437
Beckham.
Turns. Four-nil.
110
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:20,982
Kids, "I wanna be David Beckham.
I want to shave my head."
111
00:07:21,065 --> 00:07:24,360
And schools were, like,
having to write in, "No shaving of heads."
112
00:07:25,736 --> 00:07:27,655
We wanted to be like he was.
113
00:07:28,239 --> 00:07:31,200
Surely, a job for David Beckham. Oh!
114
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:33,411
Oh! Brilliant!
115
00:07:33,494 --> 00:07:36,914
David starts going from a boy...
116
00:07:36,998 --> 00:07:38,791
That was Beckham!
117
00:07:38,875 --> 00:07:40,543
...to a man.
118
00:07:40,626 --> 00:07:43,588
{n8}It's only natural that you'll start
flexing your muscles, right?
119
00:07:45,173 --> 00:07:47,300
It's a brilliant goal from Beckham!
120
00:07:49,218 --> 00:07:51,053
And don't all kids...
121
00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:52,697
Maybe the party started.
122
00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:56,934
...rebel against their parents?
123
00:07:59,812 --> 00:08:04,025
He's leaving school and he's going north.
Now, what's going to happen?
124
00:08:04,108 --> 00:08:07,612
He'll move out to Manchester.
He'll either finish his schooling there...
125
00:08:07,695 --> 00:08:10,698
- Won't you miss home?
- I probably will miss it a little bit.
126
00:08:10,781 --> 00:08:12,992
But I'll be doing what I want to do, so...
127
00:08:13,910 --> 00:08:16,245
{n8}He was very homesick
when he went to Manchester.
128
00:08:16,829 --> 00:08:17,663
{n8}Really homesick.
129
00:08:19,999 --> 00:08:22,210
He called me and said he had a toothache,
130
00:08:22,293 --> 00:08:24,378
but he just wanted to see us, I think.
131
00:08:24,462 --> 00:08:26,214
It wasn't really a toothache.
132
00:08:26,297 --> 00:08:28,549
I had a lot of toothaches, I must admit.
133
00:08:28,633 --> 00:08:30,176
I got homesick quite a lot.
134
00:08:31,219 --> 00:08:33,763
My mum was like,
"Shall we go down?" And my dad was like,
135
00:08:34,555 --> 00:08:35,556
"Absolutely not."
136
00:08:36,474 --> 00:08:38,976
Come on, Alex,
give us a smile. Stay still.
137
00:08:39,060 --> 00:08:42,563
{n8}Sir Alex was the closest thing,
other than his dad, as a father.
138
00:08:42,647 --> 00:08:43,689
{n8}Simple as that.
139
00:08:43,773 --> 00:08:47,610
He's had this unbelievable effect
on David's life. Really has.
140
00:08:49,237 --> 00:08:53,241
One game, the manager sat me,
literally, the row behind the bench.
141
00:08:58,037 --> 00:08:59,830
This kid was in the dressing room.
142
00:09:00,957 --> 00:09:02,375
Sitting next to us.
143
00:09:02,458 --> 00:09:04,377
{n8}And we look at him and think, "Well,
144
00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:07,213
{n8}he must be some player,
this kid, 'cause he's only 13, 14,
145
00:09:07,296 --> 00:09:08,839
{n8}and we haven't seen this before."
146
00:09:08,923 --> 00:09:11,092
Sir Alex wouldn't let anybody
near the team...
147
00:09:11,175 --> 00:09:12,260
Becks.
148
00:09:12,343 --> 00:09:14,053
...let alone this young kid.
149
00:09:15,012 --> 00:09:17,974
We take the mickey out of him
a little bit. "Are you here again?"
150
00:09:18,057 --> 00:09:19,183
"Are you here again?"
151
00:09:19,767 --> 00:09:22,061
We brought you in the dressing room,
you sat there,
152
00:09:22,144 --> 00:09:25,022
and Brucie says,
"You better turn out some player."
153
00:09:25,106 --> 00:09:28,401
"The treatment we're giving you.
You better turn out some player."
154
00:09:28,484 --> 00:09:32,446
The way Sir Alex Ferguson was
with me, from a very young age,
155
00:09:32,530 --> 00:09:33,739
was special.
156
00:09:33,823 --> 00:09:37,743
So it just shows you, we had you monitored
right from an early age, my young man.
157
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:40,788
It was a family, and that's why...
158
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,792
...we had the success that we had.
159
00:09:48,462 --> 00:09:51,674
There's Britain's most famous,
photographed and gossiped-about couple.
160
00:09:51,757 --> 00:09:53,092
Welcome, please, the Beckhams!
161
00:10:00,349 --> 00:10:03,060
You've written this book, Victoria,
called Learning to Fly,
162
00:10:03,144 --> 00:10:04,270
your autobiography.
163
00:10:04,353 --> 00:10:07,565
David, what about you? You read this book,
did you, from the beginning?
164
00:10:07,648 --> 00:10:10,443
- No, I'm halfway through it at the moment.
- You're halfway...
165
00:10:11,986 --> 00:10:15,531
We're lying in bed, he'll be reading
the book, and he'll look at me like that.
166
00:10:15,615 --> 00:10:18,534
I'm like, "Oh God. What have I said?"
167
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:21,370
I was saying
to David this morning,
168
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:26,125
I barely recognize me
and David from back then.
169
00:10:27,209 --> 00:10:28,210
What?
170
00:10:29,045 --> 00:10:30,671
You doing that corn on the cob.
171
00:10:30,755 --> 00:10:33,090
I know.
We're gonna look at this and cringe.
172
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:35,926
They feel like
two strange characters.
173
00:10:36,010 --> 00:10:38,012
Can I have a cup of tea, please, Princess?
174
00:10:38,721 --> 00:10:41,474
Or do you decide when I have a cup of tea?
175
00:10:41,557 --> 00:10:43,726
I'll tell you when
you can have a cup of tea.
176
00:10:43,809 --> 00:10:47,229
- I wear the trousers, don't forget.
- Okay. Sorry, Princess.
177
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:52,401
I was always much more outspoken
than I am now.
178
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:55,696
On the touchy subject again,
which you've touched about in your book,
179
00:10:55,780 --> 00:10:58,240
about Sir Alex Ferguson, you say
180
00:10:58,324 --> 00:11:01,369
that in four years of knowing him,
all he's said to you is "hello."
181
00:11:01,452 --> 00:11:03,204
Are you getting the message now?
182
00:11:03,287 --> 00:11:07,208
I mean, I think that there are certain
things in the book that I had to address.
183
00:11:07,291 --> 00:11:11,462
But at the end of the day,
you know, she's got a great relationship
184
00:11:11,545 --> 00:11:13,756
with Alex Ferguson, Sir Alex Ferguson.
185
00:11:14,548 --> 00:11:16,175
Do you have a pet nickname for him?
186
00:11:17,218 --> 00:11:18,219
Fergie.
187
00:11:23,307 --> 00:11:26,018
It's Manchester United's final home game.
188
00:11:28,646 --> 00:11:29,855
David Beckham.
189
00:11:29,939 --> 00:11:32,191
Oh, what a brilliant goal!
190
00:11:32,274 --> 00:11:35,152
Fantastic goal by David Beckham
191
00:11:35,236 --> 00:11:38,072
who milks the applause, and why not?
192
00:11:39,323 --> 00:11:43,661
I remember it being quite obvious
193
00:11:43,744 --> 00:11:46,747
that he wasn't keen on me.
194
00:11:46,831 --> 00:11:49,083
Manchester United have won again.
195
00:11:49,166 --> 00:11:51,836
And at the time, I didn't understand why.
196
00:11:53,129 --> 00:11:57,299
I think that it's the publicity
machine from Victoria's side...
197
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,347
has been interfering with his life,
and I says, "You can't have that."
198
00:12:03,431 --> 00:12:07,101
...for your loyalty to this club.
It's... It's unbelievable.
199
00:12:09,687 --> 00:12:12,857
It was getting more tense.
200
00:12:12,940 --> 00:12:14,859
You know, the string was wearing thin.
201
00:12:22,032 --> 00:12:24,618
{n8}He phoned me up and he said, uh,
202
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:28,080
{n8}"Yeah, I've been picked
for the England team, Dad."
203
00:12:28,164 --> 00:12:31,000
{n8}I went, "That's great."
He said, "And I've been made captain."
204
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:32,835
I went, "No."
205
00:12:32,918 --> 00:12:35,087
Will this be
your proudest moment,
206
00:12:35,171 --> 00:12:37,173
to lead the team to the World Cup?
207
00:12:37,256 --> 00:12:41,135
Um, it will be, fingers crossed,
the proudest moment.
208
00:12:41,844 --> 00:12:44,889
I couldn't believe it, in all honesty.
209
00:12:44,972 --> 00:12:46,348
England captain.
210
00:12:48,934 --> 00:12:49,934
Yeah.
211
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:52,521
Big call.
212
00:12:53,272 --> 00:12:54,940
It was a controversial one.
213
00:12:55,024 --> 00:12:56,525
England captain, then.
214
00:12:56,609 --> 00:12:58,319
I know. Can you believe it?
215
00:12:59,153 --> 00:13:02,490
Two years ago,
I was the most hated man by English fans.
216
00:13:04,575 --> 00:13:06,410
And now I'm England captain.
217
00:13:10,539 --> 00:13:13,334
Thousands of football fans
have begun arriving at Old Trafford
218
00:13:13,417 --> 00:13:16,420
for England's crucial World Cup Qualifier
against Greece.
219
00:13:16,504 --> 00:13:18,005
Expectations are running high.
220
00:13:19,173 --> 00:13:22,176
They want to see England
on to the finals next year.
221
00:13:22,259 --> 00:13:25,429
Still got to play the match,
but the expectation here is of a win.
222
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:29,308
I was still hated by the England fans,
223
00:13:29,391 --> 00:13:31,602
so every time that I played in any game,
224
00:13:31,685 --> 00:13:33,771
you know, I got abused, I got shouted at.
225
00:13:36,232 --> 00:13:38,317
But it was the perfect situation.
226
00:13:39,568 --> 00:13:41,987
The most important England game
227
00:13:42,071 --> 00:13:44,323
that I'd played in for a long time.
228
00:13:46,826 --> 00:13:48,786
And it just happened to be
229
00:13:48,869 --> 00:13:50,246
at Old Trafford.
230
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:55,751
The sun is shining
on this Old Trafford pitch,
231
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:58,587
and England are wearing
all white this afternoon.
232
00:13:58,671 --> 00:14:00,631
Which is my favorite
England kit to play in.
233
00:14:00,714 --> 00:14:03,926
We'll hope for an angelic
performance from one or two of them.
234
00:14:04,009 --> 00:14:06,387
Seven, and captain, David Beckham.
235
00:14:07,304 --> 00:14:09,598
With me captain, for us
236
00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:11,308
to reach the World Cup.
237
00:14:15,354 --> 00:14:18,315
Maybe we'll be in
for an anxious opening. I don't know.
238
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:21,402
It was just too perfect,
239
00:14:22,278 --> 00:14:24,154
so something had to go wrong.
240
00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:28,909
Charisteas for goal!
And Greece have scored!
241
00:14:31,453 --> 00:14:34,456
Sven-Goran Eriksson's team a goal behind.
242
00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:36,125
Oh, what a blow for England!
243
00:14:39,378 --> 00:14:41,005
Dear, dear, dear.
244
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:43,299
Neville wants the ball.
245
00:14:43,382 --> 00:14:45,968
He's got the ball. Back again to Beckham.
246
00:14:49,054 --> 00:14:51,891
This is all going the wrong way here
for England at the moment.
247
00:14:52,933 --> 00:14:54,852
Being the captain was huge for him.
248
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:57,646
But when you've got the armband on,
249
00:14:57,730 --> 00:14:59,440
there's nowhere to hide.
250
00:14:59,523 --> 00:15:00,649
You're out there.
251
00:15:01,817 --> 00:15:04,403
Halftime at Old Trafford. They're booing.
252
00:15:05,112 --> 00:15:07,448
They're booing David Beckham's team.
253
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:13,954
It was brutal.
254
00:15:16,498 --> 00:15:18,125
Because more was expected of him.
255
00:15:18,709 --> 00:15:22,004
{n8}England need to draw
to qualify for the World Cup.
256
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:25,257
{n8}It will be absolute disaster
and shame if they don't.
257
00:15:25,341 --> 00:15:28,218
How could they have got themselves
into this position anyway?
258
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:35,225
{n8}The armband made David grow.
259
00:15:36,393 --> 00:15:38,395
Nikolaidis for Greece.
260
00:15:38,479 --> 00:15:40,397
Beckham comes to knock him off the ball
261
00:15:40,481 --> 00:15:42,650
and collect it himself.
Captain's example here.
262
00:15:42,733 --> 00:15:45,277
But who has he got to pass to?
Nobody made the run.
263
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:47,279
It was like,
"I've got shit to prove here."
264
00:15:48,364 --> 00:15:49,406
To shut people up.
265
00:15:51,075 --> 00:15:53,369
Beckham desperate
to win it back, he did.
266
00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:55,172
The team can't find a way,
267
00:15:55,245 --> 00:15:58,415
but one player is relentlessly working
268
00:15:58,499 --> 00:15:59,875
to find a way.
269
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:02,878
This is Beckham.
He's working overtime, is Beckham.
270
00:16:04,296 --> 00:16:09,760
As horrific as some of the things that
were said about me over the years,
271
00:16:09,843 --> 00:16:11,428
I forgot everything.
272
00:16:17,935 --> 00:16:21,730
The last four years
had been so tough that, um,
273
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:26,819
I think it took a toll on me
that probably, uh...
274
00:16:28,862 --> 00:16:30,739
I never even knew myself.
275
00:16:38,038 --> 00:16:40,457
Look at Beckham trying to win it back.
276
00:16:44,294 --> 00:16:45,713
He's been like two men.
277
00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:50,843
I just wanted to do something
that could rectify what I did in '98.
278
00:16:56,974 --> 00:16:58,809
Here's Beckham for England.
279
00:17:00,352 --> 00:17:02,229
Still hope, is there? Beckham.
280
00:17:02,312 --> 00:17:04,064
There is still hope. Still Beckham.
281
00:17:04,148 --> 00:17:06,191
While there's Beckham,
there's always hope.
282
00:17:06,275 --> 00:17:10,112
It's a free kick in what is probably
the penultimate minute of the game.
283
00:17:20,831 --> 00:17:22,791
I just wanted to make everyone happy.

This will surely go down

Quite a transformation.
Now he's a national hero.
296
00:18:16,804 --> 00:18:19,848
I was expecting
to walk into the training ground
297

and the manager be like,
"Unbelievable!"
298

became a global phenomenon.

that one day you might be
being a model as well?

No. All I ever wanted to do

- Yeah.

00:20:46,370 --> 00:20:49,873
{n8}...I was not sure
if Alex Ferguson invited me because
342
00:20:49,957 --> 00:20:53,418
I was a coach or because I was able
to communicate in three language.
343
00:20:56,755 --> 00:20:59,508
In the club, we have Spanish,
French, Italians,
344
00:20:59,591 --> 00:21:02,010
Portuguese and English, so it was a mess.
345
00:21:02,094 --> 00:21:05,931
But give me the benefit that he invite me
346
00:21:06,014 --> 00:21:08,308
because of my coaching skills.
347
00:21:08,976 --> 00:21:12,271
Carlos Queiroz, who I knew nothing about,
348
00:21:12,354 --> 00:21:15,440
knew nothing of,
didn't understand how he came in,
349
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,526
but he did.
350
00:21:19,528 --> 00:21:22,531
Carlos was very strong and stern.
Really, like, school teacher-ish.
351
00:21:23,824 --> 00:21:25,325
He called people their surnames.
352
00:21:25,409 --> 00:21:27,869
Like, "Ferdinand, bring the ball."
353
00:21:29,329 --> 00:21:30,329
"Huh?"
354
00:21:32,124 --> 00:21:35,377
Carlos could rub people up
the wrong way just by his manner.
355
00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:40,173
It was just a different way of doing it
than we'd been used to.
356
00:21:41,508 --> 00:21:43,135
I never got on with him.
357
00:21:43,218 --> 00:21:45,345
I loved him. I loved Carlos.
358
00:21:49,349 --> 00:21:51,935
Words of advice from Carlos Queiroz.
359
00:21:52,019 --> 00:21:53,061
That season...
360
00:21:53,145 --> 00:21:55,105
He's got away from David Beckham.
361
00:21:55,188 --> 00:21:58,817
...our observations
and analysis that we start to feel
362
00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:01,611
that David's performance was
363
00:22:01,695 --> 00:22:04,072
in a declining process.
364
00:22:05,824 --> 00:22:08,160
Samuel wins his battle with Beckham.
365
00:22:08,952 --> 00:22:12,956
I... I was mad with that situation.
"What's going on? I... I..."
366
00:22:14,458 --> 00:22:16,585
All of a sudden, one story come out.
367
00:22:19,796 --> 00:22:23,216
The famous advertising of gladiators.
368
00:22:23,884 --> 00:22:26,887
Apparently, to perform those advertising,
369
00:22:26,970 --> 00:22:29,264
a couple of players
developed the upper body.
370
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:31,725
And if one player develop
371
00:22:31,808 --> 00:22:34,227
three, four or five kilos more
in the upper body
372
00:22:35,228 --> 00:22:36,980
without the right coordination...
373
00:22:40,734 --> 00:22:43,528
they can affect their performance
as a football player.
374
00:22:47,282 --> 00:22:49,743
It was clear
that it was not the same David.
375
00:22:52,496 --> 00:22:54,956
See, there's the problem.
376
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,293
I would never, ever have put myself
377
00:22:58,377 --> 00:23:00,670
professionally in a position
378
00:23:01,671 --> 00:23:03,340
that changed the way I played.
379
00:23:05,842 --> 00:23:08,387
In 2003, guys like David,
380
00:23:08,470 --> 00:23:11,181
they're not only playing football,
they're companies.
381
00:23:13,475 --> 00:23:14,643
I love cars.
382
00:23:15,852 --> 00:23:18,355
It is a fight between
things inside the pitch
383
00:23:19,898 --> 00:23:21,525
and outside the pitch.
384
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:26,905
In that period,
the business jump inside the pitch.
385
00:23:33,412 --> 00:23:35,664
Eventually, it exploded.
386
00:23:35,747 --> 00:23:40,627
And I think that the culmination
of all that was the boot-room incident.
387
00:23:46,216 --> 00:23:48,885
So, let's just talk
about the boot thing.
388
00:23:50,178 --> 00:23:52,806
Can you just set that up a little bit?
389
00:23:52,889 --> 00:23:53,889
Um...
390
00:23:59,312 --> 00:24:00,522
Were you there?
391
00:24:02,023 --> 00:24:03,733
Yeah, of course I was.
392
00:24:03,817 --> 00:24:05,110
It's my boot.
393
00:24:09,823 --> 00:24:11,241
So this is it, huh?
394
00:24:12,117 --> 00:24:15,620
{n8}This is where
all the so-called dreams are made.
395
00:24:18,498 --> 00:24:20,000
From what I remember,
396
00:24:21,251 --> 00:24:22,878
we lost against Arsenal.
397
00:24:22,961 --> 00:24:26,047
A very stern-looking
Sir Alex Ferguson, and no wonder.
398
00:24:26,131 --> 00:24:28,800
We walked in the changing room,
and the boss is fuming.
399
00:24:28,884 --> 00:24:29,968
I can see by his face.
400
00:24:30,051 --> 00:24:33,555
And when you see the boss's face
like this, you don't wanna be near him.
401
00:24:33,638 --> 00:24:38,018
- Show me his face.
- Oh, no. It's a face that no one can do.
402
00:24:38,101 --> 00:24:38,935
Trust me.
403
00:24:39,019 --> 00:24:41,396
You know, when you lose,
you take your boots off
404
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,941
and you kick them off, and you're
sat there, waiting for the gaffer to talk.
405
00:24:45,025 --> 00:24:46,985
They just set their kit off on the floor.
406
00:24:47,068 --> 00:24:49,279
Joe Mug here used to come along
407
00:24:49,362 --> 00:24:51,031
and pick it up.
408
00:24:51,114 --> 00:24:53,450
But Sir Alex was doing his debrief.
409
00:24:53,533 --> 00:24:57,162
You know, "You've done this wrong.
You've fucking well done that wrong."
410
00:24:57,871 --> 00:25:00,373
And he starts
effing and blinding on David.
411
00:25:00,957 --> 00:25:03,793
"David, this about this goal.
You didn't follow your runner."
412
00:25:03,877 --> 00:25:06,505
And I went back at the boss. I said, "No."
413
00:25:06,588 --> 00:25:10,217
"Look at the video," David says.
Sir Alex, "I don't need a fucking video."
414
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:11,801
"I've got my eyes. I remember."
415
00:25:11,885 --> 00:25:14,596
And then I swore. I said the F-word.
416
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,390
And then I saw him change.
417
00:25:17,974 --> 00:25:21,061
And I was like,
"Shit. I really shouldn't have said that."
418
00:25:21,144 --> 00:25:22,437
We all did it once.
419
00:25:23,939 --> 00:25:26,274
Every player
that was with Sir Alex for a long time
420
00:25:26,358 --> 00:25:28,235
maybe told him to fuck off once.
421
00:25:29,277 --> 00:25:31,112
And you didn't do it again.
422
00:25:32,030 --> 00:25:35,158
I think I said the F-word too many times,
423
00:25:35,242 --> 00:25:36,701
and then he...
424
00:25:36,785 --> 00:25:39,162
...comes flying across from here,
425
00:25:39,246 --> 00:25:42,791
in a rage, and he just kicked out
at these load of clothes,
426
00:25:42,874 --> 00:25:43,959
and a boot shot up...
427
00:25:45,502 --> 00:25:48,380
I could just see my boot flying.
428
00:25:48,463 --> 00:25:50,632
I kicked the boot. It hit him on the head.
429
00:25:50,715 --> 00:25:52,425
I mean, honestly,
it was an absolute freak.
430
00:25:53,134 --> 00:25:55,428
...and just clipped David above the eye.
431
00:25:56,096 --> 00:25:58,223
He couldn't do it again
if he'd have tried.
432
00:25:58,932 --> 00:26:03,019
And I've gone like that,
and then I've gone like that,
433
00:26:03,103 --> 00:26:04,521
and then I've gone like that.
434
00:26:04,604 --> 00:26:06,856
- Someone had to hold you back?
- Yeah.
435
00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:08,108
- You went at him?
- Yeah.
436
00:26:12,862 --> 00:26:15,198
The boss was absolutely gutted
437
00:26:16,324 --> 00:26:17,826
because he's not a man like that.
438
00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:19,244
It was only a nick.
439
00:26:19,327 --> 00:26:20,579
It wasn't worth a stitch.
440
00:26:25,792 --> 00:26:27,544
It didn't look pretty.
441
00:26:28,253 --> 00:26:30,630
Then there was this picture
of stitches, and...
442
00:26:30,714 --> 00:26:31,714
Well, yeah.
443
00:26:32,549 --> 00:26:34,384
I'm not going to talk about that.
444
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:36,093
Okay.
445
00:26:36,678 --> 00:26:39,472
The thing I'll say about that,
I think that was stage-managed.
446
00:26:39,556 --> 00:26:42,142
And like I say,
it wasn't even worth a stitch.
447
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:46,021
Details were sketchy.
United manager Alex Ferguson
448
00:26:46,104 --> 00:26:49,691
admitted he had kicked the boot,
accidentally striking Beckham.
449
00:26:50,358 --> 00:26:52,902
Uh, regarding Saturday's game,
450
00:26:53,737 --> 00:26:56,364
uh, first and foremost, I have to stress,
451
00:26:56,448 --> 00:26:59,659
as I've stressed this
over my 29 years as a coach,
452
00:26:59,743 --> 00:27:02,245
whatever happens in the dressing room
is sacrosanct.
453
00:27:02,954 --> 00:27:06,791
The incident raises a question: who told the story to the newspapers?
454
00:27:07,459 --> 00:27:09,961
I remember a player
coming up to me that week
455
00:27:10,045 --> 00:27:12,380
and saying,
"The boss turned 'round to the doctor
456
00:27:12,464 --> 00:27:15,175
and said, 'He's been making it worse.'"
457
00:27:15,258 --> 00:27:18,094
And I wasn't. I wasn't.
458
00:27:18,178 --> 00:27:21,306
And contrary to, uh,
contrary to a lot of the reports,
459
00:27:21,389 --> 00:27:24,684
David did not have two stitches
put in his head. He had no stitches.
460
00:27:25,185 --> 00:27:26,645
So it was a graze,
461
00:27:27,312 --> 00:27:30,523
and we move on,
and that's all there is to be said for it.
462
00:27:35,779 --> 00:27:39,324
The Champions League
quarterfinal between greats of football,
463
00:27:39,407 --> 00:27:41,618
Manchester United and Real Madrid.
464
00:27:41,701 --> 00:27:43,703
I think we're in
for a fascinating evening.
465
00:27:52,629 --> 00:27:54,881
Pay attention, because wherever you go,
466
00:27:54,964 --> 00:27:57,801
this is what everybody
will be talking about tomorrow.
467
00:27:57,884 --> 00:27:59,386
It's showtime.
468
00:28:02,555 --> 00:28:04,933
Real Madrid has always been
one of those clubs
469
00:28:05,016 --> 00:28:08,603
that is every kid's dream to play for.
470
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:10,438
It's almost a fantasy.
471
00:28:12,524 --> 00:28:16,695
A bullish Sir Alex
Ferguson has been intent on assuring us
472
00:28:16,778 --> 00:28:20,281
that Real are from the same planet
as his players.
473
00:28:21,324 --> 00:28:24,369
It excited me to see them
walk from the changing room,
474
00:28:24,452 --> 00:28:25,495
because I'm a fan.
475
00:28:27,247 --> 00:28:29,249
The cast list is as follows...
476
00:28:30,166 --> 00:28:32,502
So I was desperate
to get on the field.
477
00:28:35,171 --> 00:28:36,339
So, what happened?
478
00:28:36,423 --> 00:28:39,063
Everywhere you look,
a headline waiting to be made.
479
00:28:39,134 --> 00:28:43,179
Before the game, the manager shouted,
"David, can I have a word?"
480
00:28:43,263 --> 00:28:46,349
They spoke for a little while,
and David left.
481
00:28:46,433 --> 00:28:48,593
He's like...
I knew something was up.
482
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:52,272
Look at the Manchester
United 11, there's a shock.
483
00:28:52,355 --> 00:28:53,606
Beckham's not playing.
484
00:28:54,816 --> 00:28:56,401
Do you remember how you felt?
485
00:28:56,985 --> 00:28:57,985
Furious.
486
00:29:03,742 --> 00:29:06,411
It's a big surprise,
almost disbelief.
487
00:29:10,957 --> 00:29:12,125
David's boiling.
488
00:29:12,876 --> 00:29:14,335
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Mad.
489
00:29:15,211 --> 00:29:17,756
Because he's never
been left out before.
490
00:29:19,591 --> 00:29:22,552
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
preferred to David Beckham.
491
00:29:26,306 --> 00:29:30,435
I felt like I had a place to play
in that position.
492
00:29:30,518 --> 00:29:32,145
I was quicker than David, for sure.
493
00:29:32,228 --> 00:29:34,397
And this is The Theatre of Dreams.
494
00:29:35,732 --> 00:29:40,069
I don't think that any of you
will be dozing off during this one.
495
00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:44,740
Unfortunately,
496
00:29:45,658 --> 00:29:49,412
that gentleman called Ronaldo kill us.
497
00:29:50,705 --> 00:29:53,583
Quickly onto Ronaldo,
who's stolen a march on Ferdinand.
498
00:29:53,666 --> 00:29:54,793
Ronaldo's shot!
499
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:57,629
Heartbreaker.
500
00:30:00,131 --> 00:30:04,636
Ronaldo with a blow to the heart
of Manchester United's hopes.
501
00:30:04,719 --> 00:30:08,598
They are flash. Difficult to be the most
famous institution in world football
502
00:30:08,681 --> 00:30:09,974
and be humble about it.
503
00:30:10,058 --> 00:30:12,560
They belong in the big time
and they know it.
504
00:30:13,061 --> 00:30:14,701
You wanted me to talk about Pérez?
505
00:30:14,771 --> 00:30:16,856
Yeah, yeah. That would be great.
506
00:30:18,817 --> 00:30:22,695
{n8}Okay. Florentino Pérez is a piece of work.
507
00:30:24,447 --> 00:30:28,117
Florentino Pérez simultaneously
ran this big multinational company
508
00:30:28,993 --> 00:30:32,205
and he ran Real Madrid,
the biggest football club in the world.
509
00:30:32,956 --> 00:30:36,459
His construction business
was the prose of his life.
510
00:30:36,543 --> 00:30:38,378
Real Madrid was the poetry of his life.
511
00:30:39,796 --> 00:30:41,297
Just... I'll say hello.
512
00:30:45,301 --> 00:30:46,803
In the construction company,
513
00:30:46,886 --> 00:30:50,139
he would do everything
in a very measured way,
514
00:30:50,807 --> 00:30:53,726
and in Real Madrid,
he allowed himself to let his hair down.
515
00:30:54,811 --> 00:30:56,688
Like a wild kid.
516
00:31:03,903 --> 00:31:07,407
Now, he is bold to the point of shameless.
517
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:13,705
Here is a club pass for Real Madrid.
518
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:17,625
And so his thinking
was incredibly simplistic.
519
00:31:18,877 --> 00:31:21,296
You know,
"We buy the best players, we'll win."
520
00:31:22,005 --> 00:31:25,008
And at the same time, to bring in money.
521
00:31:30,597 --> 00:31:31,890
Hello. Florentino Pérez.
522
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,269
You speak with me and I'll...
We'll do it in Español.
523
00:31:36,352 --> 00:31:38,646
Yes. I prefer to speak in Spanish
524
00:31:38,730 --> 00:31:40,732
{n8}because my English is very bad now.
525
00:31:40,815 --> 00:31:44,027
{n8}He also has
a very keen interest in works of art.
526
00:31:44,110 --> 00:31:45,862
Great. Okay. So we start.
527
00:31:45,945 --> 00:31:48,156
And so, what were
the most beautiful works of art
528
00:31:48,239 --> 00:31:50,533
in the football world at that time?
529
00:31:54,162 --> 00:31:55,162
Luís Figo.
530
00:31:55,622 --> 00:31:57,081
Elegance itself.
531
00:31:58,207 --> 00:31:59,792
We got him. He's up on the wall.
532
00:32:01,336 --> 00:32:03,171
Who else is there? Zidane.
533
00:32:05,006 --> 00:32:07,258
The Baryshnikov of football.
534
00:32:07,926 --> 00:32:09,260
Zidane's up on the wall.
535
00:32:10,929 --> 00:32:12,013
So, who's next?
536
00:32:12,931 --> 00:32:14,015
Ronaldo, the Brazilian.
537
00:32:16,935 --> 00:32:18,937
The greatest living goalscorer
of that time.
538
00:32:20,647 --> 00:32:24,192
The next work of art was Roberto Carlos,
a Brazilian. Fantastic.
539
00:32:26,152 --> 00:32:29,447
They were, arguably,
the greatest players in the world, right?
540
00:32:31,991 --> 00:32:35,370
They were not "arguably"...
the best players in the world.
541
00:32:35,453 --> 00:32:38,039
They were the best. There was no debate.
542
00:32:44,587 --> 00:32:45,630
So, who was left?
543
00:32:46,631 --> 00:32:47,757
Michelangelo's David.
544
00:32:49,801 --> 00:32:51,302
I remember seeing him as he came on.
545
00:32:51,386 --> 00:32:54,147
Nobody should
underestimate the pride of David Beckham
546
00:32:54,180 --> 00:32:56,975
and how it will have been hurt
by the selection tonight.
547
00:32:57,809 --> 00:32:59,560
There seemed to be an extra
548
00:32:59,644 --> 00:33:01,020
fire in his belly.
549
00:33:03,523 --> 00:33:05,274
It is Beckham. Oof!
550
00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:12,073
That's one of the best
I think I've ever seen him score, that.
551
00:33:12,156 --> 00:33:13,324
That was phenomenal.
552
00:33:13,408 --> 00:33:17,453
Real Madrid and David Beckham
were, at that time, in 2003,
553
00:33:17,537 --> 00:33:19,288
the two biggest brands in football.
554
00:33:20,164 --> 00:33:23,126
Therefore, there was a certain
commercial, financial logic
555
00:33:23,209 --> 00:33:25,044
in a fusion of these two
556
00:33:25,128 --> 00:33:27,630
enormous global brands.
557
00:33:34,262 --> 00:33:36,931
I know exactly what my fans want,
558
00:33:37,015 --> 00:33:39,976
and I knew Beckham
was one of those players
559
00:33:40,059 --> 00:33:42,937
who were born to play at Real Madrid.
560
00:33:43,021 --> 00:33:46,024
So I did everything I could
561
00:33:46,107 --> 00:33:47,650
to get him.
562
00:33:48,818 --> 00:33:51,988
Real Madrid, they have
broken the hearts of Manchester United.
563
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:56,159
A mesmeric, memorable game
564
00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:59,078
full of stories.
565
00:34:00,913 --> 00:34:03,041
Zidane came up to me.
566
00:34:09,672 --> 00:34:12,425
And he doesn't speak
so much English, Zizou,
567
00:34:13,009 --> 00:34:15,678
and he doesn't really say too much, ever.
568
00:34:24,896 --> 00:34:27,482
He came up to me,
shook hands, and he went,
569
00:34:28,149 --> 00:34:29,567
"You come to Madrid?"
570
00:34:34,113 --> 00:34:37,033
And I was like, "Did Zizou just say that?"
571
00:34:45,708 --> 00:34:47,126
I love that moment.
572
00:34:49,128 --> 00:34:51,047
It doesn't get any better than that.
573
00:34:52,799 --> 00:34:54,509
But I had no interest.
574
00:34:56,094 --> 00:34:57,970
Manchester United was my team.
575
00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:01,224
It was the only club
I ever wanted to play for.
576
00:35:02,809 --> 00:35:04,727
But I also loved Real Madrid.
577
00:35:09,982 --> 00:35:12,235
The bigger questions will begin.
578
00:35:14,487 --> 00:35:16,989
What does Sir Alex Ferguson do now?
579
00:35:25,581 --> 00:35:27,250
- All right.
- Okay, Nick.
580
00:35:27,333 --> 00:35:31,087
I know your club, you never stand
still, you're always looking forward.
581
00:35:31,170 --> 00:35:34,340
Do you feel, this summer,
that you have got to evolve the side?
582
00:35:34,423 --> 00:35:37,844
It won't be anything drastic
or anything like that.
583
00:35:37,927 --> 00:35:40,138
No one will be leaving,
the players will be here,
584
00:35:40,221 --> 00:35:42,515
and I just need to fine-tune things.
585
00:35:43,558 --> 00:35:44,809
Sir Alex, thanks.
586
00:35:49,981 --> 00:35:51,566
Alex Ferguson,
587
00:35:52,191 --> 00:35:53,484
he knocked the door,
588
00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:56,904
come and sit in front of me,
and he said, "Done."
589
00:35:58,030 --> 00:35:59,282
"David is leaving us."
590
00:36:01,909 --> 00:36:05,329
It was just like that. Ice. "It's done."
591
00:36:05,413 --> 00:36:09,417
And he started to talk
about, uh... another thing.
592
00:36:14,255 --> 00:36:16,215
I am pleased to announce
593
00:36:17,175 --> 00:36:20,094
that Manchester United have agreed
594
00:36:21,304 --> 00:36:23,764
to a deal
595
00:36:23,848 --> 00:36:26,767
that will make David Beckham a player
596
00:36:26,851 --> 00:36:28,561
for Barcelona FC.
597
00:36:31,063 --> 00:36:32,063
"What?"
598
00:36:32,648 --> 00:36:35,276
Come on! Come and get your Standard!
599
00:36:35,359 --> 00:36:37,904
United say yeah for bid to Becks!
600
00:36:37,987 --> 00:36:39,155
How is that possible?
601
00:36:39,238 --> 00:36:41,490
- You heard about Beckham, then?
- Yes.
602
00:36:42,158 --> 00:36:43,927
- I can't believe it. I'm devastated.
- I know.
603
00:36:43,951 --> 00:36:47,371
It's the worst bit, the worst,
604
00:36:47,455 --> 00:36:50,458
very worst bit of management
I've ever seen.
605
00:36:52,376 --> 00:36:53,711
I called the club.
606
00:36:54,754 --> 00:36:56,964
And I said, "Can I speak to the boss?"
607
00:36:58,007 --> 00:37:00,426
And they said,
"No. He doesn't want to talk to you."
608
00:37:00,509 --> 00:37:03,763
And I said,
"Please just let me speak to the boss."
609
00:37:03,846 --> 00:37:07,475
"I need to know
that this is really what he wants."
610
00:37:09,602 --> 00:37:11,354
I'd have pleaded to not go.
611
00:37:11,437 --> 00:37:13,022
But why didn't you?
612
00:37:13,105 --> 00:37:15,858
Because I couldn't get in contact
with the boss.
613
00:37:16,859 --> 00:37:20,196
I think the relationship
was at a stalemate anyway.
614
00:37:20,279 --> 00:37:23,407
There was not going to be any point
in me saying to David,
615
00:37:23,491 --> 00:37:26,494
you know, "I'm selling you,"
and then he would say, "Why?"
616
00:37:28,287 --> 00:37:32,458
I don't think I'd have changed his mind...
Well, I don't know. I don't know.
617
00:37:33,167 --> 00:37:35,544
The decision that was made was better.
618
00:37:35,628 --> 00:37:38,714
Uh, he went, you know...
Or he didn't need to go.
619
00:37:38,798 --> 00:37:42,802
He could have stayed if he wanted,
but I think he knew it was the right time.
620
00:37:43,386 --> 00:37:46,055
But did I ever want to leave Man United?
Of course not.
621
00:37:46,639 --> 00:37:47,639
Never.
622
00:37:52,228 --> 00:37:53,646
It was my home.
623
00:37:54,730 --> 00:37:57,942
My relationship with the boss
was always special.
624
00:38:00,278 --> 00:38:03,990
Yeah, we had our moments,
but I still loved him.
625
00:38:04,073 --> 00:38:07,702
You're never going to be in love
with players all your life. Never.
626
00:38:07,785 --> 00:38:09,912
It's never going to be that way, because
627
00:38:10,997 --> 00:38:15,459
uh, you're picking a player because
of his performance on the football field.
628
00:38:15,543 --> 00:38:19,255
You know, not because of
your relationship with him off the field.
629
00:38:21,674 --> 00:38:23,259
I've never said this, but
630
00:38:23,968 --> 00:38:25,761
I'm glad I didn't speak to him,
631
00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:28,639
because I think
it would've broken my heart.
632
00:38:29,682 --> 00:38:31,183
But that was it for me.
633
00:38:32,143 --> 00:38:33,644
That was it. That was, um...
634
00:38:35,229 --> 00:38:38,899
That was it for...
That was it at United, really.
635
00:38:43,446 --> 00:38:44,447
That was it.
636
00:38:54,623 --> 00:38:55,958
Yeah, he was
637
00:38:56,876 --> 00:38:58,627
{n8}like, literally heart-broke,
638
00:38:58,711 --> 00:39:01,339
{n8}like, beyond, like... Yeah.
639
00:39:02,798 --> 00:39:04,675
Since the age of 15, you know,
640
00:39:05,676 --> 00:39:07,428
all he knew was Manchester United.
641
00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:13,684
You know?
And then, all of a sudden, it's like...
642
00:39:15,644 --> 00:39:17,855
And he's probably
never really got over it.
643
00:39:20,483 --> 00:39:22,360
He's probably never really got over it.
644
00:39:25,863 --> 00:39:27,156
We were brothers.
645
00:39:28,866 --> 00:39:29,909
It was a family.
646
00:39:32,203 --> 00:39:33,704
And you're never gonna leave.
647
00:39:34,330 --> 00:39:36,374
And me and him
were down that right-hand side.
648
00:39:41,087 --> 00:39:43,881
Because we're all thinking
we'll play for United forever.
649
00:39:48,636 --> 00:39:50,346
I had to make a decision.
650
00:39:56,102 --> 00:39:58,687
So I said, "If you want me to leave,
651
00:39:59,605 --> 00:40:02,274
and I don't want to leave,
but if you want me to leave..."
652
00:40:04,193 --> 00:40:07,863
"I want to move to... I want to move
to the club that I want to move to."
653
00:40:07,947 --> 00:40:10,866
"If I'm being pushed out of Man United,
this is where I wanna go."
654
00:40:16,372 --> 00:40:17,248
Perfect.
655
00:40:17,331 --> 00:40:19,208
I remember
being stood in my kitchen.
656
00:40:20,876 --> 00:40:23,754
The phone rings.
Florentino comes on.
657
00:40:23,838 --> 00:40:26,966
He said, "David, would you like
to play for Real Madrid?"
658
00:40:27,049 --> 00:40:28,049
"Yes."
659
00:40:28,676 --> 00:40:30,428
"No problem. Done."
660
00:40:30,511 --> 00:40:35,307
It may sound bad,
but with all respect to Manchester United,
661
00:40:35,391 --> 00:40:39,728
like I said before,
he was simply born to play at Real Madrid.
662
00:40:41,647 --> 00:40:44,400
Okay, so, you tell Victoria
you're going to Madrid,
663
00:40:44,483 --> 00:40:45,693
right, at that point?
664
00:40:45,776 --> 00:40:47,027
What does she say?
665
00:40:48,279 --> 00:40:51,615
"What do you mean, 'Going to Spain'?"
"We're going to Spain." "When?"
666
00:40:51,699 --> 00:40:53,826
"Uh, in about 12 hours."
667
00:40:53,909 --> 00:40:56,829
I was like, "What do you mean?
We don't have anywhere to live."
668
00:40:56,912 --> 00:41:00,416
"We don't have schools for the children.
What... What do you mean?"
669
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,961
But then the reality is we moved to Spain.
670
00:41:04,044 --> 00:41:05,546
Like that.
671
00:41:13,888 --> 00:41:16,568
David Beckham arrived at Zarzuela Clinic
672
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,686
taking his final step
to becoming a Real Madrid player.
673
00:41:21,896 --> 00:41:26,233
In our opinion, he's in perfect condition.
674
00:41:28,486 --> 00:41:32,072
He also seems like
he's got his feet on the ground.
675
00:41:36,327 --> 00:41:39,205
I remember being with
the president, and his office looked out
676
00:41:39,288 --> 00:41:42,041
over these tower blocks, and he was like,
677
00:41:42,124 --> 00:41:44,001
"Those are the Galácticos."
678
00:41:44,084 --> 00:41:48,047
"You've got Figo, you've got Ronaldo,
you've got Zidane."
679
00:41:48,631 --> 00:41:51,425
He said, "Look, that one's yours."
And I was like,
680
00:41:51,509 --> 00:41:53,260
"Okay." I liked that.
681
00:41:55,095 --> 00:41:57,640
Did Madrid sign him for this?
682
00:41:57,723 --> 00:41:58,723
Or for this?
683
00:41:59,308 --> 00:42:02,311
People already had
a preconception of me.
684
00:42:02,394 --> 00:42:06,106
You know, I'm married to a Spice Girl.
You know, all the circus around.
685
00:42:07,441 --> 00:42:10,903
So I wanted to go in so low-key, just me.
686
00:42:19,286 --> 00:42:22,414
The day that David Beckham
signed for Real Madrid
687
00:42:22,498 --> 00:42:24,792
is a day unmatched...
688
00:42:27,628 --> 00:42:30,631
...in the signing of any players anywhere
689
00:42:31,924 --> 00:42:32,924
in history.
690
00:42:39,056 --> 00:42:43,310
He arrives in the city as if he were
the President of the United States.
691
00:42:59,910 --> 00:43:01,704
This was crazy, right?
692
00:43:01,787 --> 00:43:02,955
Yeah.
693
00:43:14,425 --> 00:43:16,802
This was
the biggest ticket in town.
694
00:43:16,885 --> 00:43:20,222
Anybody who was anybody in Spain
695
00:43:20,306 --> 00:43:21,515
wanted to be invited.
696
00:43:23,726 --> 00:43:24,893
The politicians,
697
00:43:26,061 --> 00:43:28,856
the judges, all the top businessmen,
698
00:43:30,107 --> 00:43:32,985
all brought their good lady wives along
because otherwise,
699
00:43:33,068 --> 00:43:35,696
they'd have had hell in their marriages
the rest of their lives
700
00:43:35,779 --> 00:43:37,865
if they hadn't brought them
for the big event.
701
00:43:56,467 --> 00:43:58,177
Good morning.
702
00:43:58,927 --> 00:44:02,598
David Beckham is here
because we believe in him as a footballer.
703
00:44:02,681 --> 00:44:05,517
He is a man who is a symbol of our era,
704
00:44:05,601 --> 00:44:08,145
a symbol of post-modernity.
705
00:44:09,063 --> 00:44:13,567
David, welcome
to the league of dreams. Thank you.
706
00:44:19,698 --> 00:44:22,201
Gracias, ladies and gentlemen.
707
00:44:23,744 --> 00:44:26,121
I have always loved football.
708
00:44:28,666 --> 00:44:30,793
Of course, I love my family.
709
00:44:34,296 --> 00:44:36,256
But football is everything to me.
710
00:44:50,562 --> 00:44:52,398
I remember turning
around to Victoria.
711
00:44:52,481 --> 00:44:55,859
And I'm not sure
how happy Victoria was about it.
712
00:44:58,779 --> 00:45:00,531
But I said to her,
713
00:45:00,614 --> 00:45:04,827
"We have to look at this
like this is forever."
714
00:45:06,286 --> 00:45:07,579
Less than ideal.
715
00:45:22,344 --> 00:45:24,638
Welcome to Madrid, David Beckham.
716
00:45:24,722 --> 00:45:26,515
When I did the interview with him,
717
00:45:26,598 --> 00:45:29,643
he arrived barefooted.
I don't know what that was about.
718
00:45:29,727 --> 00:45:33,230
- Your Spanish, are you gonna work at it?
- Definitely.
719
00:45:33,313 --> 00:45:36,191
It's something that
I'm trying to learn already.
720
00:45:36,275 --> 00:45:37,943
Having interviewed famous people,
721
00:45:38,026 --> 00:45:40,529
you see so many of them
are actually complete pricks.
722
00:45:40,612 --> 00:45:44,783
Your kids, Brooklyn in particular,
he'll be bilingual before you know it.
723
00:45:44,867 --> 00:45:47,244
He can actually say "hola" and "adiós."
724
00:45:48,328 --> 00:45:51,373
There was a curious
contrast between
725
00:45:51,457 --> 00:45:54,585
how big and famous David Beckham was,
726
00:45:54,668 --> 00:45:57,296
and how awkward he was talking in public.
727
00:46:01,467 --> 00:46:04,595
It's an amazing experience
that I'm stepping into now.
728
00:46:06,597 --> 00:46:09,475
It's going to be a great life
for me over here and my family.
729
00:46:09,558 --> 00:46:12,895
And, uh, my family's definitely
going to enjoy living here.
730
00:46:16,023 --> 00:46:17,191
David!
731
00:46:17,274 --> 00:46:20,277
I remember,
before my first training session...
732
00:46:22,780 --> 00:46:24,490
I'm there before everyone.
733
00:46:25,908 --> 00:46:27,910
So I was in the changing room on my own.
734
00:46:31,955 --> 00:46:33,582
Sat there, just waiting.
735
00:46:33,665 --> 00:46:36,502
Ner... Like, sweating.
736
00:46:36,585 --> 00:46:38,295
I was so nervous.
737
00:46:39,379 --> 00:46:40,464
And...
738
00:46:42,049 --> 00:46:43,425
...Figo walks in.
739
00:46:43,509 --> 00:46:46,094
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon, Luís. Here.
740
00:46:46,178 --> 00:46:47,888
Shakes my hand. "Welcome."
741
00:46:47,971 --> 00:46:48,847
Roberto.
742
00:46:48,931 --> 00:46:51,099
Roberto walks in, shakes my hand.
743
00:46:51,183 --> 00:46:53,227
- ¿Qué tal? Okay?
- Muy bien. How are you?
744
00:46:53,894 --> 00:46:55,187
Ronaldo walks in.
745
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,607
I don't think I've ever been as nervous.
746
00:46:58,690 --> 00:46:59,983
Did you throw up?
747
00:47:00,067 --> 00:47:02,736
No, I didn't... I didn't throw up, but...
748
00:47:07,991 --> 00:47:10,702
We see this gorgeous guy.
749
00:47:10,786 --> 00:47:14,122
{n8}A blond guy who is joining our team.
750
00:47:14,832 --> 00:47:16,625
A beautiful guy.
751
00:47:18,001 --> 00:47:23,340
Everyone wanted to have his haircut.
752
00:47:23,423 --> 00:47:27,678
{n8}But with my curly hair
753
00:47:27,761 --> 00:47:34,142
{n8}it was more difficult for me
to copy his hairstyle.
754
00:47:34,768 --> 00:47:37,396
I remember,
we played this small-sided game.
755
00:47:37,479 --> 00:47:39,439
Ronaldo was about to score,
756
00:47:39,523 --> 00:47:41,483
so I've slid,
757
00:47:41,567 --> 00:47:42,609
and as I've slid,
758
00:47:42,693 --> 00:47:46,405
he just put his foot on the ball
and he watched me go past, like that.
759
00:47:52,369 --> 00:47:55,455
"Okay, this is... this is the level
that I have to get to."
760
00:47:56,748 --> 00:47:59,293
Nice place for an interview.
It's really nice.
761
00:48:01,879 --> 00:48:03,964
But, of course, all the guys talking.
762
00:48:04,047 --> 00:48:05,966
{n8}"What you think?"
763
00:48:06,049 --> 00:48:09,052
{n8}"I don't know,
to be honest. Really unpredictable."
764
00:48:09,136 --> 00:48:11,805
{n8}"I don't know if this guy
is gonna... is gonna suit to us."
765
00:48:13,557 --> 00:48:15,684
All the things around him, you know,
766
00:48:16,435 --> 00:48:17,435
the wife,
767
00:48:18,729 --> 00:48:20,606
the press, you know, talking about him.
768
00:48:22,524 --> 00:48:25,444
That brings bad things
into the dressing room.
769
00:48:25,527 --> 00:48:28,697
The main thing is where is he gonna play?
Because Figo's on the right.
770
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,580
And Figo is one of the best right-mids,
you know, in the world, by far.
771
00:48:39,124 --> 00:48:43,712
{n8}When, uh, it was coming out
that probably David came,
772
00:48:43,795 --> 00:48:48,800
{n8}everyone started to talk. "Now he comes
to play in your position. Blah-blah-blah."
773
00:48:48,884 --> 00:48:51,511
"It will be a fight, competition between
774
00:48:51,595 --> 00:48:54,348
Luís and David for the position.
Blah-blah-blah."
775
00:48:55,140 --> 00:48:56,683
I was not scared at all.
776
00:48:59,353 --> 00:49:01,688
Figo was in the position
where I played.
777
00:49:02,814 --> 00:49:05,359
I didn't want to turn around
to Figo and say,
778
00:49:06,318 --> 00:49:07,235
"I'm here now."
779
00:49:07,319 --> 00:49:08,987
"Where are you going to play?"
780
00:49:09,071 --> 00:49:10,489
You know, this is Figo.
781
00:49:12,658 --> 00:49:16,995
I think, in that time,
it was not really what the team needs.
782
00:49:20,290 --> 00:49:22,960
Why do you think
Pérez brought him in though?
783
00:49:23,460 --> 00:49:25,921
I don't know.
You have to ask the president.
784
00:49:26,004 --> 00:49:29,633
We were able to triple our revenue.
785
00:49:31,468 --> 00:49:34,972
Beckham will be in the Far East
with his new club, Real Madrid,
786
00:49:35,055 --> 00:49:37,599
who no doubt will be
cashing in on their new signing.
787
00:49:37,683 --> 00:49:41,645
They get half the profits
of taking the Beckham brand on the road.
788
00:49:42,771 --> 00:49:46,191
One of the most lucrative
promotional trips ever.
789
00:49:51,321 --> 00:49:53,448
I'd been on tours with United.
790
00:49:55,909 --> 00:49:57,577
This was a whole different level.
791
00:50:08,380 --> 00:50:11,758
I remember, we arrived at this hotel,
and there were 10,000 people
792
00:50:11,842 --> 00:50:13,093
at 4:00 a.m.
793
00:50:19,224 --> 00:50:21,226
So, that was happening because of Beckham.
794
00:50:24,312 --> 00:50:26,440
He brought
that kind of craziness.
795
00:50:29,484 --> 00:50:33,905
It was more like
a rock band than a football team.
796
00:50:39,995 --> 00:50:42,456
This transcended football.
797
00:50:45,834 --> 00:50:48,712
We were no longer talking
only about football lovers.
798
00:50:49,671 --> 00:50:51,882
Women supporters.
799
00:50:52,632 --> 00:50:54,551
We love Beckham!
800
00:50:54,634 --> 00:51:00,015
On the advertising
billboards, there were 40 Beckham adverts
801
00:51:00,098 --> 00:51:01,098
and only one of me.
802
00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:05,645
It is the first time
that we go worldwide.
803
00:51:07,105 --> 00:51:08,105
Because of one player.
804
00:51:10,984 --> 00:51:14,696
We were so comfortable
in our houses in Spain.
805
00:51:17,032 --> 00:51:20,410
Now, suddenly,
we were 30 days out of our families.
806
00:51:20,494 --> 00:51:23,538
So, for us,
it was a pain in the...
807
00:51:26,583 --> 00:51:27,583
Hey, you're the man.
808
00:51:27,626 --> 00:51:30,670
We said, "David,
we are working double because of you."
809
00:51:41,932 --> 00:51:44,351
Hey! Hey, you sit down! Sit down!
810
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,640
Real Madrid are
in possession of this publicity machine.
811
00:51:55,695 --> 00:51:59,741
Now Beckham is seen
as a figure of worship in Asia.
812
00:52:06,039 --> 00:52:07,791
The Sun newspaper
813
00:52:07,874 --> 00:52:11,128
sent reporters all over the world
to see if they could find someone
814
00:52:11,211 --> 00:52:12,963
who had not heard of David Beckham.
815
00:52:13,046 --> 00:52:16,007
Beckham! Beckham!
816
00:52:22,597 --> 00:52:25,976
Eventually, they found a person,
or they said they did.
817
00:52:31,481 --> 00:52:34,317
And the one man in the world
who does not know David Beckham?
818
00:52:34,401 --> 00:52:36,278
A shepherd in Chad.
819
00:52:38,572 --> 00:52:42,576
I, on the other hand, more often than not,
I was always the villain.
820
00:52:42,659 --> 00:52:44,953
We have to talk about Spain
because we're here.
821
00:52:45,036 --> 00:52:46,997
- Are you happy here?
- I am.
822
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,874
It's great. David absolutely loves it.
823
00:52:48,957 --> 00:52:50,709
David even answers the phone, "¿Aló?."
824
00:52:50,792 --> 00:52:51,626
So I sat there...
825
00:52:51,710 --> 00:52:55,672
I remember doing an interview once
for Spanish Vogue. I did the cover.
826
00:52:55,755 --> 00:52:58,800
And in the interview,
they reported that I hate Spain,
827
00:52:58,884 --> 00:53:00,886
"Because Spain smells of garlic."
828
00:53:01,386 --> 00:53:02,679
I didn't say that.
829
00:53:04,639 --> 00:53:07,475
She says Spain smells like garlic.
830
00:53:08,685 --> 00:53:10,729
Now, if you want to offend
831
00:53:11,771 --> 00:53:12,771
the Spanish,
832
00:53:13,690 --> 00:53:16,067
question the quality of their food.
833
00:53:16,902 --> 00:53:18,778
This was a grievous offense.
834
00:53:19,529 --> 00:53:21,689
Victoria sent shock waves
835
00:53:21,740 --> 00:53:24,910
through Madrid last night
on her first social appearance in Spain.
836
00:53:25,493 --> 00:53:28,622
She ordered
vegetables and fish, but ate almonds
837
00:53:28,705 --> 00:53:29,998
and drank some water.
838
00:53:30,874 --> 00:53:33,501
In a lot of the reports, it was,
839
00:53:34,169 --> 00:53:35,462
"Oh, she hates Spain."
840
00:53:35,545 --> 00:53:36,671
"Oh, she hates Madrid."
841
00:53:37,505 --> 00:53:40,508
She forced a smile
and didn't speak to the press.
842
00:53:42,177 --> 00:53:44,137
It was never about Spain.
843
00:53:44,221 --> 00:53:46,389
We had a family
we had to really think about.
844
00:53:47,307 --> 00:53:49,851
I had two children, Brooklyn and Romeo.
845
00:53:49,935 --> 00:53:50,852
Didn't she?
846
00:53:50,936 --> 00:53:53,605
And this is what nobody
seemed to take into consideration
847
00:53:53,688 --> 00:53:57,400
when I was getting criticized for not
being in Spain right from the beginning.
848
00:53:57,484 --> 00:53:58,902
A kid has to go to school.
849
00:53:58,985 --> 00:54:02,489
I knew I couldn't move to Spain
until I had a school for Brooklyn.
850
00:54:02,572 --> 00:54:04,574
- Yeah, have you cleaned your teeth?
- What?
851
00:54:04,658 --> 00:54:07,035
I was doing Monday
to Friday in London,
852
00:54:07,869 --> 00:54:11,373
and then jumping on a plane to Spain.
853
00:54:12,123 --> 00:54:16,711
And on top of that, we find
her in line at a hamburger restaurant.
854
00:54:16,795 --> 00:54:21,383
But everything I did was fabricated,
taken out of context.
855
00:54:24,094 --> 00:54:25,845
They say she longs for London,
856
00:54:25,929 --> 00:54:28,515
that here in Madrid she doesn't find
the glamour she's used to.
857
00:54:32,519 --> 00:54:35,105
But it was never about Spain.
858
00:54:38,775 --> 00:54:41,611
A new Real Madrid
manager was unveiled today
859
00:54:41,695 --> 00:54:43,238
at the Bernabéu Stadium.
860
00:54:43,321 --> 00:54:46,574
I'd like to express my gratitude
861
00:54:48,326 --> 00:54:53,456
for this opportunity to manage and coach
862
00:54:53,540 --> 00:54:54,666
Real Madrid.
863
00:54:55,458 --> 00:54:59,004
{n8}When the invitation
of Real Madrid come to me,
864
00:54:59,838 --> 00:55:04,134
{n8}was something amazing,
because I was not even dreaming
865
00:55:04,217 --> 00:55:06,344
that Real Madrid was knocking my door.
866
00:55:06,428 --> 00:55:12,267
It's one of the best clubs in the world.
867
00:55:12,350 --> 00:55:14,686
I was, uh... I was shocked.
868
00:55:15,478 --> 00:55:17,897
I was shocked when I heard.
869
00:55:24,154 --> 00:55:26,698
Now I start my Real Madrid career knowing
870
00:55:26,781 --> 00:55:30,910
that I'm playing for a manager
that didn't want me in my last team.
871
00:55:42,922 --> 00:55:44,883
Good afternoon.
872
00:55:44,966 --> 00:55:46,801
It's a special day for David Beckham.
873
00:55:46,885 --> 00:55:50,555
David Beckham makes his debut
874
00:55:50,638 --> 00:55:52,390
in a Real Madrid shirt.
875
00:55:55,185 --> 00:55:57,645
Beckham! Beckham!
876
00:55:57,729 --> 00:55:59,356
So, that first game,
877
00:56:00,106 --> 00:56:02,067
you know, it was a different pressure.
878
00:56:11,493 --> 00:56:13,745
I had that sick feeling in my stomach.
879
00:56:19,542 --> 00:56:21,544
All the fans, crazy, you know?
880
00:56:23,588 --> 00:56:26,800
For them, Real Madrid is
881
00:56:26,883 --> 00:56:30,595
one of the most important things
in their life. It's like a religion.
882
00:56:35,308 --> 00:56:37,769
Real Madrid are obliged to win.
883
00:56:38,353 --> 00:56:42,607
There's a pressure to win, which is crazy.
884
00:56:45,819 --> 00:56:49,364
In the moments leading up to the match,
885
00:56:51,241 --> 00:56:53,451
you try not to get nervous...
886
00:56:56,246 --> 00:56:59,165
or unsure of yourself.
887
00:57:05,088 --> 00:57:06,798
You want to be confident,
888
00:57:08,299 --> 00:57:11,219
but everything plays with your mind.
889
00:57:14,556 --> 00:57:17,308
I was thinking, "Shit."
890
00:57:20,395 --> 00:57:23,690
I'm playing with
all of these great players.
891
00:57:23,773 --> 00:57:26,359
They look like a fantasy league team.
892
00:57:27,569 --> 00:57:31,030
But everybody's looking
to see what David Beckham can do.
893
00:57:32,198 --> 00:57:33,867
Am I gonna be good enough?
894
00:57:36,035 --> 00:57:39,414
That's the moment where you'll say,
"Okay, now I'm gonna judge you."
895
00:57:39,497 --> 00:57:40,582
"I'm gonna see you."
896
00:57:40,665 --> 00:57:42,917
"I'm gonna see
the way you are and everything."
897
00:57:50,842 --> 00:57:54,137
The football papers here
carried up to eight pages of stories
898
00:57:54,220 --> 00:57:56,931
about that man, David Beckham.
899
00:57:57,474 --> 00:57:59,559
Where is he going to fit into this team?
900
00:58:00,101 --> 00:58:01,728
What about your position?
901
00:58:03,271 --> 00:58:05,398
I had no idea
where I was going to play.
902
00:58:09,194 --> 00:58:11,196
Two players
for the same position.
903
00:58:12,906 --> 00:58:13,990
You have a problem.
904
00:58:17,994 --> 00:58:21,122
Queiroz put him to play more behind me,
so he have to...
905
00:58:21,998 --> 00:58:23,708
He have to run more for me.
906
00:58:28,922 --> 00:58:30,131
Figo.
907
00:58:32,717 --> 00:58:33,927
There's David Beckham.
908
00:58:34,010 --> 00:58:36,846
Beckham had to do something
he'd never done before,
909
00:58:36,930 --> 00:58:40,058
for England or Manchester United,
to sort of play a bit further back.
910
00:58:40,141 --> 00:58:42,227
That usually means danger.
911
00:58:42,310 --> 00:58:43,728
David Beckham.
912
00:58:45,188 --> 00:58:46,231
Well, look,
913
00:58:46,981 --> 00:58:48,983
I know we're making a film
about David Beckham
914
00:58:49,067 --> 00:58:50,860
and singing his praises, but, I mean...
915
00:58:50,944 --> 00:58:52,445
David Beckham.
916
00:58:55,365 --> 00:58:56,783
...he couldn't do it.
917
00:58:57,450 --> 00:58:59,869
He's given it back to Eto'o!
918
00:58:59,953 --> 00:59:01,496
Yes!
919
00:59:02,372 --> 00:59:03,873
Samuel Eto'o.
920
00:59:04,499 --> 00:59:07,627
And Mallorca are in front,
and they deserve it.
921
00:59:07,710 --> 00:59:09,003
Absolutely.
922
00:59:10,630 --> 00:59:13,466
David Beckham,
he's been neither here nor there.
923
00:59:14,217 --> 00:59:15,718
Real Madrid rattled.
924
00:59:16,386 --> 00:59:19,597
Time for a double change.
925
00:59:19,681 --> 00:59:22,100
And it's, uh, David Beckham.
926
00:59:23,726 --> 00:59:25,728
He is gonna come off.
927
00:59:26,479 --> 00:59:29,065
It's a strange one,
so early in the second half.
928
00:59:29,148 --> 00:59:30,984
Obviously, the coach, Carlos Queiroz,
929
00:59:31,067 --> 00:59:33,444
feels that they need
to do something about it now.
930
00:59:33,528 --> 00:59:35,321
It takes time to settle in.
931
00:59:35,405 --> 00:59:36,823
Rome was not built in a day.
932
00:59:37,448 --> 00:59:39,158
And it's all over,
933
00:59:39,242 --> 00:59:41,202
and Mallorca triumph.
934
00:59:59,762 --> 01:00:02,724
David, can you sign an autograph
for my boyfriend?
935
01:00:03,516 --> 01:00:05,435
When I played
for Manchester United,
936
01:00:05,518 --> 01:00:08,771
even when I lost games,
even when I wasn't playing well...
937
01:00:12,025 --> 01:00:14,777
I knew that I was going home
to my family every night.
938
01:00:19,657 --> 01:00:22,785
Whereas I wasn't going home
to my family in Madrid.
939
01:00:28,082 --> 01:00:30,752
And that was difficult,
to not have my family.
940
01:00:33,046 --> 01:00:34,964
Yeah, I love this song.
941
01:00:35,048 --> 01:00:36,299
This is David's favorite.
942
01:00:36,382 --> 01:00:37,884
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
943
01:00:37,967 --> 01:00:39,969
She just didn't want
to sit at home.
944
01:00:40,470 --> 01:00:42,930
She just didn't want
to become a footballer's wife.
945
01:00:43,014 --> 01:00:44,557
No.
946
01:00:44,641 --> 01:00:46,684
So, let's go down
to "rep will be diminished."
947
01:00:47,477 --> 01:00:50,188
And that's what I loved
about her from day one.
948
01:00:55,652 --> 01:00:58,988
I remember being upset
on the phone to Victoria
949
01:00:59,864 --> 01:01:01,741
because I felt lonely.
950
01:01:02,617 --> 01:01:06,162
What about
the rumors that you're not settled?
951
01:01:07,288 --> 01:01:08,915
David was hurting,
952
01:01:09,624 --> 01:01:12,710
so we got, like, a group of friends,
953
01:01:12,794 --> 01:01:16,047
you know, like, to surround David,
to make him feel better.
954
01:01:23,554 --> 01:01:26,683
We let him know that we were there,
955
01:01:26,766 --> 01:01:29,060
un, for whatever he needed.
956
01:01:31,646 --> 01:01:33,481
But I still remember one day,
957
01:01:33,981 --> 01:01:37,568
I see David and Roberto Carlos
eating in the same table.
958
01:01:38,653 --> 01:01:40,071
I thought,
959
01:01:40,154 --> 01:01:42,073
"How can one guy
that doesn't speak English
960
01:01:42,156 --> 01:01:45,451
and another one
that doesn't speak Portuguese or Spanish,
961
01:01:45,535 --> 01:01:47,870
being two hours together, laughing?"
962
01:01:49,747 --> 01:01:51,999
It was about gestures.
963
01:01:52,625 --> 01:01:57,255
He knew exactly what I was saying to him
and vice versa.
964
01:02:02,135 --> 01:02:05,096
I think, after that,
he started to relax, you know?
965
01:02:06,139 --> 01:02:08,558
Something that is sacred is that
966
01:02:08,641 --> 01:02:10,560
you have to be wanted...
967
01:02:12,437 --> 01:02:13,438
be loved,
968
01:02:14,814 --> 01:02:16,065
by your teammates.
969
01:02:16,733 --> 01:02:19,402
You have to be
a part of the dressing room.
970
01:02:29,328 --> 01:02:31,873
It's David Beckham's first game
971
01:02:31,956 --> 01:02:34,417
at the Bernabéu before his fans.
972
01:02:35,710 --> 01:02:38,171
I wanted to prove
to the Real Madrid fans...
973
01:02:41,132 --> 01:02:42,675
that I was good enough.
974
01:02:43,217 --> 01:02:45,219
But that stadium...
975
01:02:47,638 --> 01:02:48,556
it's tough.
976
01:02:50,683 --> 01:02:51,726
It's tough.
977
01:02:53,311 --> 01:02:56,230
It's a complete sellout here today.
978
01:02:58,357 --> 01:03:00,735
And you walk up,
and you're just like,
979
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:02,445
"Oh my God."
980
01:03:05,281 --> 01:03:07,241
It's very intimidating.
981
01:03:07,325 --> 01:03:12,038
You've seen some great players play there
and they crumble.
982
01:03:15,458 --> 01:03:18,628
He's nervous.
983
01:03:19,754 --> 01:03:22,215
Beckham, the big focus of attention.
984
01:03:22,298 --> 01:03:24,592
So much has been written
and said about him.
985
01:03:24,675 --> 01:03:28,679
Substituted in his previous game.
He lasted less than an hour.
986
01:03:32,517 --> 01:03:36,521
He's been asked
to play more defensive again.
987
01:03:37,021 --> 01:03:39,398
He's played 14 years on the right.
988
01:03:41,025 --> 01:03:45,321
But great players
all have moments in their life
989
01:03:45,404 --> 01:03:48,825
when they find a new dimension.
990
01:03:50,243 --> 01:03:53,538
But one thing he's not
getting at the moment in Spain is time.
991
01:03:53,621 --> 01:03:55,832
They want him to perform right now.
992
01:03:56,541 --> 01:03:59,961
He just needed to relax
because the buck didn't stop with him.
993
01:04:00,044 --> 01:04:01,587
If we win, we win as one.
994
01:04:02,547 --> 01:04:04,924
If we lose, we lose as one.
995
01:04:10,847 --> 01:04:13,516
See near Daddy?
See the guy in the green near Daddy?
996
01:04:14,809 --> 01:04:17,061
Look at how long his hair is.
997
01:04:17,144 --> 01:04:19,105
But having my family there...
998
01:04:21,357 --> 01:04:23,568
was a special moment for me.
999
01:04:24,902 --> 01:04:26,070
Then I felt safe.
1000
01:04:32,910 --> 01:04:35,371
Mallorca starting to bite back a bit.
1001
01:04:37,081 --> 01:04:39,000
David Beckham making up great ground.
1002
01:04:39,083 --> 01:04:40,960
Beckham's up to prove a point.
1003
01:04:41,043 --> 01:04:43,045
We're just warming up now.
1004
01:04:44,881 --> 01:04:46,465
Here's Luís Figo.
1005
01:04:47,925 --> 01:04:48,925
Zinedine Zidane.
1006
01:04:49,635 --> 01:04:51,095
Okay, now we start to play.
1007
01:04:52,471 --> 01:04:53,472
Zidane.
1008
01:04:54,098 --> 01:04:57,518
Zidane delivers!
David Beckham trying to get in on that.
1009
01:05:00,521 --> 01:05:02,106
Then, all of a sudden,
1010
01:05:03,024 --> 01:05:05,568
he start to grow up, he start to grow up.
1011
01:05:07,153 --> 01:05:08,613
Beckham now.
1012
01:05:12,450 --> 01:05:14,410
With that magic right foot.
1013
01:05:15,620 --> 01:05:17,622
Real Madrid are looking hungry.
1014
01:05:18,205 --> 01:05:21,083
David Beckham, oh! Superb cross.
1015
01:05:21,167 --> 01:05:23,002
And I was in the sideline,
1016
01:05:23,502 --> 01:05:26,464
enjoying that ball flying...
1017
01:05:28,466 --> 01:05:29,926
Beckham.
1018
01:05:30,009 --> 01:05:31,052
...and land.
1019
01:05:32,428 --> 01:05:33,596
Flying and land.
1020
01:05:33,679 --> 01:05:35,056
Here's Beckham.
1021
01:05:35,139 --> 01:05:37,975
Beckham, looking to turn provider.
1022
01:05:39,852 --> 01:05:42,980
Whoo. Behind this pretty face,
wait a minute.
1023
01:05:45,107 --> 01:05:47,485
Real Madrid are going to burst away.
1024
01:05:59,538 --> 01:06:00,539
He's kept it in.
1025
01:06:00,623 --> 01:06:03,334
And... Oh, Beckham!
1026
01:06:03,918 --> 01:06:04,918
Yes!
1027
01:06:05,378 --> 01:06:07,922
You can feel the relief!
1028
01:06:08,005 --> 01:06:10,383
David Beckham scores!
1029
01:06:10,466 --> 01:06:14,345
He is the man of the moment! Hooray!
1030
