David Beckham: I’m ready for England
Posted on March 7, 2008 Filed Under Headlines
Beckham was a high-profile absentee from new coach Fabio Capello’s first squad, for England’s 2-1 win over Switzerland. But Capello made it clear at the time that Beckham’s exclusion was entirely due to match fitness and that the LA Galaxy player would be able to stake his claim for future squads.
The Italian has now suggested that Beckham, 32, is in contention to face France in Paris, and play the 100th game and get that cap.
Beckham said:
“Fitness-wise, I’ll be perfect,” he said. “But it’s about performing and hopefully I’ll do that. I am also confident that he would be able to extend his international career well beyond the Paris game.”
Capello also said: ‘I understand from reading his last interview that at this moment his fitness isn’t good and I will phone him because I want to know exactly what he thinks about his fitness.’
