Beckaham awaaga wapenzi wa kabumbu
emotional David Beckham paid
tribute to his 'special' time with
Paris Saint-Germain after playing
the final game of his career
against Brest on Saturday.
Beckham set up Blaise Matuidi's
goal either side of two stunning
strikes from Zlatan Ibrahimovic
before he was withdrawn in the
second half to a standing ovation
from the Parc des Princes crowd
and a centre-circle embrace from
his team-mates.
The 38-year-old was tearful as he
left the pitch before collecting his
Ligue 1 winners' medal after the
full-time whistle, and he confessed
he could scarcely imagine a more
perfect setting than the French
capital in which to call time on his
glittering career.
"To finish my career here is
special. Paris is the most beautiful
place in the world. I'm sad to go,"
he told reporters after the match.
"I feel a lot of satisfaction and
emotion. Tonight is the end of my
career, for sure. I've done my time
at all the clubs where I've been,
be it Manchester United, Real
Madrid and LA Galaxy.
"Now, we'll see what happens.
After a 22-year career, I'm going to
take a few months off to relax with
my family. I said before that, one
way or another, I would stay in
Paris.
"It's special for me here and I
want to continue to be part of PSG,
one way or another."
Team-mate Mamadou Sakho
described the experience of
playing alongside the former
Manchester United and Real
Madrid star as 'beautiful' and
expressed his admiration for
Beckham's laid-back approach to
all aspects of his life.
"I was lucky to be with him here in
the capital," Sakho told Canal +.
"Is there anything more beautiful?
"It was a very emotional exit,
especially given the scope of his
career. He brought us his joie de
vivre, and above all the simplicity
of life both on and off the pitch.
"A little anecdote, for example: we
organised a barbecue at Sylvain
Armand's house, he was called,
and he came to eat sausages with
us in Sylvain's garden!"f WWW.operasports.com
