June 16th 2024.
David Beckham, one of the greatest players to ever come out of England, recently shared a heartfelt message on Instagram. The former England legend wished good luck to current manager Gareth Southgate and the rest of the team as they prepare for their Euro 2024 opener against Serbia. With the tournament being held in Germany, the nation's hopes are riding on this team, just as they did when Beckham was a player over 20 years ago.
Throughout his career, Beckham has been an influential figure in English football. As a player for Manchester United and Real Madrid, he captained the 'Golden Generation' of the national team in multiple World Cups and Euro tournaments. Now, as a retired player, he continues to show his support and love for the team on social media. In his post, he shared a photo of himself as a child wearing an England shirt, with a caption that expressed how proud he felt to wear that shirt, both as a kid dreaming of playing for his country, and as a captain leading the team.
As the team prepares for their first match against Serbia, the manager, Southgate, has selected a strong starting lineup, with players like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Declan Rice taking the field. Southgate acknowledges the challenges they may face against a tough opponent, especially with Serbia likely to play with five defenders. This is where Alexander-Arnold's skills, particularly his passing abilities, will come in handy. But ultimately, as Southgate emphasizes, it will take a strong mentality and emotional approach to the game for the team to succeed.
The nation is buzzing with anticipation and excitement as England takes the field once again in a major tournament. And as Beckham said in his message, "Come on England!" Let's show the world what we're made of and bring home the victory.
