The story couldn’t have more exciting had it been made up. David Beckham, golden balls himself and a legend of the sport, signs for one of the greatest clubs in European football. After leaving La Liga Champions Real Madrid for a seeming exile in Los Angeles at the hands of Major League Soccer side L.A. Galaxy – many wondered would Beckham be worth all the fuss created before his debut for the Italian side? For Beckham’s supporters, and lovers of football everywhere, his return to European football was nothing short of breath-taking.
The 33-year-old playmaker showed he hadn’t lost his touch or his skill over the years. If anything, since his arrival in Milan he has shown not only what made him great – but that he still is. And now it’s possible to own the iconic Rossoneri shirt with Mr. England’s name and number boldly displayed on the back.
The cynics argued that Beckham’s arrival was only a marketing tool – and how wrong they’ve been proven. Milan fans can rest assured that one of the greatest footballers this generation has seen is firing on all cylinders and passionate about helping Milan win the Scudetto. Not only that – but he’s eclipsed other giants of the game such as Ronaldinho and Seedorf in Milan’s starting 11. Yes, far from being a marketing tool – David Beckham is an integral part of AC Milan’s side and a genuine boost to their title credentials.
As the Serie A season comes closer to an end, be equipped with this beautiful shirt from Adidas. While Milan try to gain ground on title and city Rivals Inter Milan and fight off the advances of Juventus, show your support for the club and Beckham by owning this truly remarkable kit. With Adidas’ climacool mesh it’s perfect for wearing during a match with friends, wearing out during a warm Italian night, or in a stood in front of the big screen in a crowded pub on game day. Either way, this is one item you don’t want to miss out on – and judging from Golden Ball’s success – you don’t have much time to grab one.
