David Beckham
關於本電子書
Little David always knew that he wanted to be a soccer player. Growing up, he and his family supported the British team Manchester United, and he dreamed of being part of their squad. He spent years playing for local clubs and joined Manchester United’s youth academy as a teen. After entering the first team under the leadership of Alex Ferguson, it soon became clear that David was a star on the field.
With Manchester United, he won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League all in one season, a pioneering feat! He went on to become captain of the England team and a hero to people across his country. Away from the pitch, David had fallen in love with Victoria, a successful singer. They got married and everyone became obsessed with their love story!
When he left Manchester United, David, Victoria and their children moved to Spain, and he played for Real Madrid as part of a superstar squad. Soccer continued to take him around the world – to LA in California, and back again to Europe. When it came to retire from playing, David couldn’t keep away from the beautiful game. He helped to start a new team, Inter Miami CF, in Florida, elevating the sport in the U.S.
A soccer legend who is loved by all, David’s achievements are the culmination of a lifetime of hard work and talent.
This powerful book features quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the soccer player's life.
