David Beckham Interview

DAVID Beckham lashed out at claims he moved to the US to retire - and revealed he wants to increase his family by TWO.
In his first interview since making the high profile move to LA, the football legend revealed he's DESPERATE for his fourth child with wife Victoria to be a girl.
David said: "I'd love a little girl. But we're blessed to have three beautiful boys and if we're blessed to have another one or two children then that would be a blessing."
The extra additions to the family would grow the young Beckham clan to five - but loving dad David said there's nothing better than being a parent again and again.
He gushed: "Three boys - it's difficult at times but there's nothing that gives you that feeling of coming home and seeing the kids and spending time with them.
"There's nothing better in the world really than that. And if you're a parent, everyone realises that feeling."
And for the first time David has revealed what many expected - he's just a big softie who sobs while watching romantic comedies.
Told he was obviously an emotional parent David agreed by saying "without a doubt".
He went on: "You know I will be sitting at home and we'll be watching a film that's not even upsetting and Victoria will turn round to me and say, 'Are you crying?'.
"I've been an emotional person at home and when I'm at work. That's the way I've always been and that's the way I'll always be."
But Becks, 32, has hit out at critics who have lambasted his move to play for struggling Californian side, LA Galaxy.
He claimed there's no chance he's gone there to wind down towards retirement and he didn't sign with the lowly team for the £125 million contract either.
David raged: "There's going to be people that will sceptical about the move saying is it about the money or am I going into semi retirement. Where as I see it as another big challenge for me."
And he chose to make the move Stateside because he could return to the UK and play against his beloved Manchester United side.
Becks explained: "I played for MU and never wanted to play for any other English club. It would have killed me to play for any other English club.
"I never wanted to play for another team in Spain. I had offers from Italy but I just felt that I needed a challenge."
Becks was questioned just one week into his five-year contract with the Galaxy for an ITV documentary-but stressed he is completely committed to stay put.
He explained: "It's going to be hard work at times I'm sure but it's going to be great to bring up the kids here, to have the house, to have the school sorted.
"And to move over here to an amazing city and a passionate country it's going to be amazing. It's going to be great for us as a family."
David also said that he is resigned to the fact that his critics will claim his time in the US has been a failure, regardless of how he performs.
He admitted: "I'm sure at the end of the five years even if I have had success there will still people who will say that it's not been a successful time and I haven't taken football in America to another level.
"But you know it's going to be fun, it's going to be enjoyable trying to make it happen. If it happens then great if it doesn't everyone knows that I'll be trying my best."
Beckham raved about how he's already won over one fan at the Galaxy: "The kit man is called Raul. He said thank you for coming because you've made so many people talk about this club all over America.
"Even if we base it on that we've had success already. There would people around America who didn't know anything about soccer or the Galaxy."
