McClaren tidak memasukkan nama Beckham dalam susunan Three Lions untuk persiapan partai vs Yunani tgl 16 Agustus mendatang.
Ini putusan penting ketiga McClaren: mengikutsertakan terry venables, menunjuk John Terry jadi Kapten, mencabut nama Beckham. walau secara formal McClaren bilang pintu masih terbuka buat Beckham, tapi gue rasa ini bakal jadi awal ditutupnya tirai panggung seorang Beckham di timnas Inggris. sebagai pendukung Three Lions, gue setuju2 ajalah, Inggris kudu lebih mengedepankan talenta-talenta muda baru yang berbakat ! -omar- _______________________________________ http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/4782613.stm McClaren ends Beckham England era Beckham won his 94th cap in the World Cup defeat to Portugal David Beckham's England career appears to be at an end after new manager Steve McClaren left him out of his squad. Beckham's name was absent as McClaren unveiled his first squad - for the friendly against Greece on 16 August. "I told David I was looking to change things, looking to go in a different direction, and he wasn't included within that," explained McClaren. The new England boss would not rule out recalling Beckham but the 31-year-old seems unlikely to add to his 94 caps. Beckham said in a statement: "Having spoken to Steve McClaren this week I can fully understand that a new manager should want to make his mark on the team and build towards the next World Cup. "I'm proud to have played for England for 10 years and my passion for representing my country remains as strong as ever." He took the news very well, although he was disappointed McClaren said he had been impressed by Beckham's reaction on being told he was not part of his plans for England's future. "I have great respect for David," said McClaren. "He was a fantastic captain for England, a great player, and still is a great player. "He took the news very well, although he was disappointed. "I got the reaction I wanted, and the reaction was he would continue to fight for his place, and I will never close the door on that." And McClaren was adamant that the decision to leave Beckham out of the squad was his alone. "It was always going to be difficult. It was always going to be a big decision but I felt it was one I had to make," the manager said. "It was very much my decision. I took advice on that from various people but it was my decision. "It would have been more difficult if I didn't have the relationship and the respect I've got for him - and he for me." The Real Madrid midfielder quit as captain after England's World Cup exit in July but insisted he wanted to continue playing. Despite his omission from McClaren's first squad as manager, BBC Sport understands Beckham will not announce his international retirement. __________________________________________ "England's most decorated club picks up another trophy" - Martin Tyler, FA Cup Final, 13 May 2006 __________________________________________________ Apakah Anda Yahoo!?
