Why do Beckham rarely mention when talking about the best team in football history?

About Beckham, one thing needs to be clarified, that is his position. Strictly speaking, Beckham has played quite complicated positions since his career, including right forwards, central defenders and midfielders, and he has played in these positions.

In the 1999 Champions League final, Manchester United played against Bayern, and Beckham played as the midfielder, who was partnering with Bart. On the left and right wings are Giggs and Bromquist.

Why Ferguson had to make such arrangements? The reason is that Keane and Scholes were suspended, and Manchester United's midfield and frontcourt could not rank the strongest lineup. Without Keane, Manchester United's midfield defense and forward teleportation were missing.

In addition, Scholes is missing, and an aggressive midfielder who can get the ball, forward and shoot, which has weakened Manchester United's lineup a lot.

In order to consolidate the team's defense, Ferguson arranged Beckham in the midfielder position, preparing to use his good physical fitness and excellent long passes to strengthen the team's control.

Although this arrangement is a bit bold, the effect is not bad, and Beckham has delivered a qualified answer. After resisting Bayern's offensive and pressure, Ferguson replaced Sheringham and Solskjaer, which also made the most classic comeback in Champions League history. In the Premier League, Beckham has been a midfielder for quite a few times. Generally speaking, if Keane is not injured or suspended, Beckham will be the right forward, and his cooperation with Gary Neville one-to-one and one-to-back is very sharp;

But if injuries are frequent, Ferguson will move Beckham to the midfield, and this position of the right forward may allow Giggs and others to replace him to play a tactic of a counter-foot forward.

This is Ferguson's use of Beckham.

When he joined Real Madrid, Beckham tends to be in the midfield position at this time. Because the team has Figo and Zidane, Figo likes to move on the wings of the wings, and the ribs occupy a certain space. Zidane is also the midfield controller and he also needs to take the ball and hold the ball. Then Beckham will not have too many chances of playing the wing forward in the team.

In order to gain a foothold in the team, Beckham followed suit, playing with his more accustomed to the midfielder and central forward position, and using his outstanding physical fitness to help the team.

Here I also have to praise Beckham's defensive skills. He is actually an underrated defensive midfielder. Although his free kick and right-footed crossing are very powerful, his defensive position and interception are also his signature skills.

His off-ball run has a considerable range and can cover the entire midfield. He will be seen in the left, center and right areas. When he is a midfielder, his long-distance running and the running distance in each game are also scary. He can often run more than 10 kilometers and is also a famous iron man.

Everyone says that he is very good-looking. Beckham is a tough guy and a respected football fighter. Whether it is a fan or a head coach, he admires his professional spirit very much and admires his skills.

Speaking of this, I believe everyone can understand why when it comes to football lineups, they rarely mention Beckham, that is, you are not very good at defining his real attributes on the field.

From the perspective of functional characteristics, he is also a "piezo" player of the team. He will move wherever he needs it, a team player.

In the right forward, he can pass the ball and assist and help his teammates score; in the central front and back midfielder positions, he can go up and down, and attack and defense.

even has a disorganized lineup and he can also play a guest role as a full-back when the team is injured. In some Manchester United games, Gary Neville was injured or in poor condition, and Beckham could also regain the position of the full-back to defend.

No coach doesn't love him.

But because you are too versatile, have a very good team style, and are relatively simple in your career, this also makes it difficult for you to define his position in Beckham.

Say he is a right forward, he is not smart enough compared to Figo, and his skills to get rid of and dribble are not gorgeous enough, so it is difficult to attract attention; say he is a midfielder, he is not the kind of pure defense only, and there are many pictures of long passes and attacks.

The attributes of all-rounders will make him suffer a little in the selection of football lineups.

Just like Chinese legend Sun Jihai, he is also a panacea for football at Manchester City. He has played in full-backs, midfielders and other positions, and he has played well as a guest appearance. It is hard to say where you put him in, the strongest "Chinese Suns".

For Beckham's evaluation, I think the most suitable title is the "all-round midfielder" player, which is more appropriate to his playing style.

Perhaps when talking about the historical football lineup, you will not be able to remember him. But looking back at the footage of his playing football, you will be in awe of Beckham, a great football player.
