BeckhamGalaxy takes an assessment of LA Galaxy‘s Off-season

transaction and posts up a possible line-up.

Earlier,

BeckhamGalaxy highlighted a possible Transfer Coup for

Ronaldinho and we have taken this into consideration.

Formation for LA Galaxy in MLS Season 2012:

4-2-3-1

R. Keane

M. Magee          Ronaldinho         L. Donovan

M. Sarvas           D. Beckham

T. Dunivant    O. Gonzalez     S. Franklin     A.J DeLaGarza

J. Saunders

Substitutes:

N. Noble (GK), P. Noonan (FW), C. Barrett (FW), P. Cardozo (MF),

C. Birchall (MF), F. Hejduk (DF), D. Leonardo (DF)

But of course, the above is just a LA Galaxy Fantasy Line-Up. There is

a still a possibility of a Fourth Designated Player to be included into the

LA Galaxy team roster.

Frank Lampard, Chelsea midfielder, has been linked with a possible move

to LA Galaxy. David Beckham, long-time England team-mate with Frank

Lampard, has reportedly been discussing with a possible move to LA Galaxy

in a move to further booster the star status of the American club.

BeckhamGalaxy has another look at LA Galaxy’s line-up with Frank Lampard

in it, with the formation 4-3-3.

R. Keane

Ronaldinho       L. Donovan

M. Sarvas       D. Beckham        F. Lampard

T. Dunivant   O. Gonzalez    S. Franklin    A.J DeLaGarza

J. Saunders

M. Sarvas  is more of a attacking midfielder who likes to make forward runs.

Lampard is also more suitable to feature on the right-side with more space

for him to make runs to the box. He is also a midfielder who can score lots of goals

and he can work with Beckham, who will operate much more defensively as a

holding midfielder.

Fans are already drooling with the possibility and Frank Lampard and Ronaldinho

offers a lot of exciting opportunities and prospects to the LA Galaxy line-up.

Check in on Angel City Brigade’s forum and you will find a lot of rave reviews

of the inclusion of Ronaldinho and Lampard. The fans of LA Galaxy are loving it.

Factors weighing in Lampard Move?

Frank Lampard Looking to LA Galaxy?

Villas-Boas and Lampard Row

Chelsea manager André Villas-Boas and Frank Lampard are not in speaking terms,

according to the player’s own admission. In most cases of manager-player row,

it often ends with either the player or the manager leaving the club. Lampard

has often been warming the bench for Chelsea, even though he has saved the

club a few brushes from embarrassment with his second-half goals off the bench.

Villas-Boas has yet to explain why Frank Lampard is being benched, in spite of

him being one of the more consistent players for Chelsea.

The England Contingent at LA Galaxy

Besides the superstar David Beckham being English, there are other English

players like Chris Birchall, who plays for Trinidad and Tobago. If Frank joins

LA Galaxy, he will feel very much at home. The only difference is simply getting

used to the American English.

The Adoration of LA Galaxy fans

The fans are already loving the possibility of Frank Lampard in the squad. This

spells well in Frank Lampard’s transfer to LA Galaxy, with match attendance at

Home Depot Center set to increase with the increase of star players in the squad.

Frank Lampard turns 32 this year in 2012, however, like Beckham, he still has

much to offer and is very much near to the peak of his career. Check out his

goals for Chelsea.

Possibility of Move: 5/10

Lampard has reiterated his love for the club, Chelsea and the 11 years he has spent

there since he first joined from West Ham United as a young and raw player. It is

at Chelsea that his talent as a prolific scoring midfielder is unearthed and former

Chelsea colleague, Michael Ballack has rated Lampard as “one of the best players

in the world”.

BeckhamGalaxy gives the move a thumbs-up and will gladly welcome Frank Lampard

to embark on the MLS adventure and help LA Galaxy cement its place “among the stars”.

And indeed, why not?

It is now revealed that David Beckham has rejected signing the contract

with PSG, the Parisian club that has been courting for his signature feverishly

for the past few months. BeckhamGalaxy has long projected that Beckham will

be staying with LA Galaxy, click here to view the factors of Beckham’s Decision.

Beckham, as of 01 Janaury 2012, is now considered a free agent, with

LA Galaxy being tipped in the foremost seat to sign with him. This is definitely

great news for LA Galaxy club and fans alike. Juninho has left for Sao Paulo,

at least the LA Galaxy midfield that has aided the club to go on the winning

conquest to the MLS Cup last season, will have Beckham in it.

Have a closer look at BeckhamGalaxy’s Beckham-Sarvas Partnership.

It is not a done deal yet

According to some reports from the media, Beckham is tipped to sign a

two-year contract deal with LA Galaxy. It is not certain yet but Galaxy

president Leiweke has been on the phone with the Beckham’s representative

all day.

The City Hall Parade in Paris has been scheduled, should David Beckham decide

to become a PSG player. French newspapers blasted the headlines that Beckham

has said “Yes” to the deal with PSG, but the spokesperson for Beckham has strongly

denied any form of agreement with PSG.

The French papers called the Beckham deal to be 95 percent done. It looks like

they didn’t anticipate the 5 percent, which is equally important.

As of now, David Beckham, his wife Victoria and their four children had spent

the Christmas and New Year in London. There is no doubt that Beckham will be

considering the offer put up by LA Galaxy and Beckham has weighed in his family

behind his signature on any contract offer. The good news to LA Galaxy is that

Victoria and the four Beckham children are well-settled in LA and Beckham has

decided not to uproot the family from the place where they have spent 5 years

together as a family.

According to Leiweke, there are other clubs that are also pursuing for Beckham’s

signature.

BeckhamGalaxy is suspecting that the clubs to be Tottenham Hotspurs and

Queen Park Rangers. The Chinese premier club Shanghai Shenhua could be

eyeing on the star power of David Beckham, and his appeal to the 1 billion fans

in China.

Factors favoring LA Galaxy as favorites

1. LA Galaxy will release Beckham for British Olympics

Another factor that will tip in LA Galaxy’s favor is that LA Galaxy has declared that

they will definitely release Beckham for the British Olympic games and to allow him

to play for the Great Britain football team. LA Galaxy coach Bruce Arena has given

“Thumbs Up”.

2. Beckham still has a role to play in America

Beckham has definitely brought up the star power of soccer in America. It may not

be as big as the sports powerhouses of Basketball and American Football, but it

is slowly and surely gaining more soccer fans. It helps that LA Galaxy is in the land

of Hollywood, and complements with the star power of David Beckham. After Beckham,

star players like Thierry Henry has followed suit to add to the glitz and glamor of soccer

sports in America.

3. Beckham and his family in LA

David and Victoria, with their four children are very much settled in LA and it will

take much more to uproot the entire family from LA. That is the important 5 percent

that PSG did not factor in. Add in the Beckham couple’s close friends like Tom Cruise

and his wife, Katie Holmes, the Beckham family are very much settled in LA and

America. Victoria can continue to work her fashion label in LA, and she can work closely

with the many Hollywood stars who are donning her dresses.

Beckham with Three Stars

It is no longer a speculation. It is more of  a question of “When” Beckham will ink the deal

with LA Galaxy. And BeckhamGalaxy is standing behind AEG President, Tim Leiweke’s

words,

“I’ll repeat what I said in November:

I believe David Beckham will play for the LA Galaxy this year.”

May I present the famous Sambal (buck-toothed) footballer,

Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, aka Ronaldinho.

If you have any doubts on Ronaldinho’s skills and technique as a footballer,

check this video out.

For most professsional footballers, the test of long-shot accuracy

is to aim for the cross-bar of the goal post. If your jaw did not drop

after watching this, then just to let you know, mine did.   :0

Ronaldinho warms up with juggling the ball, followed by the volley

with the aim of the cross-bar. That was almost the ULTIMATE display

of ball control and technique.

How does this measure up with other players on the professional stage.

Compare with the following video. They are also David Beckham’s

former colleagues by the way.

I am not going to mention the names of the club and players in the video, cos

every football fan should know. And I will like to stress that this is no comparison

between players or clubs. I am just trying to show the difficulty of long-shot

accuracy. Any team with Ronaldinho in it can be assured of a DEADLY

dead-ball specialist. And of course, none of the players in the above video are

known for their dead-ball skills but they are well-known for other roles they

play on the pitch for their club. (Please, no hating =)

Ronaldinho has something that excludes him from most footballers, and that

is CREATIVITY.

Ronaldinho is able to see in his mind all the plays to set up for the offense. And

that is what makes him a great asset for the team. He is a great playmaker,

and he will figure nicely on the left side of midfield for LA Galaxy. That is his

most favored role,  and he is also able to operate as an attacking midfielder.

Though he has often drifted from the left to cut in quickly to the middle and

make “runs” with the ball. His final passes are amazing, and he also symbolizes

what Sambal football means.

Of course the scandals have also plagued Ronaldinho off the pitch. Ronaldinho has

in the past, known to be a “party-animal” and often frequents with clubs and drinking.

If recent behavior and performances have to say, Ronaldinho has put his scandals

behind him and has put in effort on the pitch where it matters. After missing the World

Cup 2010 and being left out of the national side, Ronaldinho was called up for recent

Brazilian friendlies versus Ghana and Argentina this year.

At the age of 31, Ronaldinho is not yet past his prime and has plenty to offer on the table.

It is also great for the MLS, given Ronaldinho’s worldwide status as a footballer.

Ronaldinho offers the entertainment on the pitch with his attacking edge and glitzy

skills and will most likely draw more fans and crowds to watch soccer matches. This

sounds great commercially for LA Galaxy and MLS. Ronaldinho should be keen in joining

LA Galaxy, as being a designated player, LA Galaxy is able to keep him on their wage

payroll. Recent news reported that Ronaldinho has been owed months of wages at his

current club, Flamengo.

Ronaldinho for LA Galaxy?

But of course, Ronaldinho is not a direct replacement for David Beckham and Juninho,

since he is not effective enough to be assigned any defensive duties. Next up, Beckham

Galaxy presents the solution with Ronaldinho in mind. Of course, it will be great if LA

Galaxy is able to sign Ronaldinho in a bid to persuade Beckham to stay and help LA

Galaxy reach greater heights as a MLS club in America and Worldwide.

That is my wishful thinking on my part. But hey, who says the dreams don’t come true?

Only at BeckhamGalaxy =)

There was a flurry of player-transfer activities going on and BeckhamGalaxy

is diving in to bring the latest on LA Galaxy’s Player Transfer.

First up, I am sad to see Juninho leaving LA Galaxy, leaving a void in central

midfield. Juninho has been loaned by Brazilian club Sao Paulo to LA Galaxy

for the past two seasons and he has been turning out regularly for the first

team. His defensive midfield display has allowed David Beckham and Landon

Donovan to focus on making offensive plays for Galaxy. LA Galaxy fans will

remember Juninho for his wonderful Long-Range Bombs.

Juninho, the Midfield General

Juninho was the protege of David Beckham and his midfield

partnership with Beckham has worked wonders for Galaxy this season.

Judging from the latest tweets, even the LA Galaxy players were reluctant

to see Juninho leave the club.

Sean Franklin’s Twitter: sfranklin5             Juninho’s Twitter: Juninho19LA

sfranklin5: What’s up brooooo!

Juninho19LA: What’s up dude …

sfranklin5: Hope everything is going well in brazil bro

Juninho has officially signed a 3-year deal with Sao Paulo and we, at

BeckhamGalaxy wish Juninho all the best in his future playing endeavors

at Sao Paulo. In response to his imminent departure, Juninho left a parting

message to all the LA Galaxy fans.

Juninho19LA: I want to thank Galaxy and all of my fans for your kindness

and support for the past two years that I was on the team.

Omar Gonzalez eyed by Club America

Defender-of-the-year Omar Gonzalez is reportedly scouted by Club America,

who is closely monitoring the player’s progress.

Should Club America make a move for Gonzalez, it can prove to be tempting

for Gonzalez to turn down as Club America plays in the professional Mexican

league and they are able to offer a much more lucrative contract without

the wage restrictions of the MLS.

Club America has also been looking to shore up their defence and Omar

seemed to be a great addition to their first-team squad. Omar Gonzalez

and defensive partner, AJ DeLaGarza were called up to the US squad in

preparation for International Friendlies with Venezuela and Panama

next year. Gonzalez will be looking to add to his tally of 2 international

caps while DeLaGarza will be looking forward to his first international cap.

There is a current trend of US players moving out of the MLS to prove

themselves on another stage. In fact, the majority of the US National

Team (players with established positions) is made of US exports who plied

their trade in Europe. Should one of the European club call upon Gonzalez,

Gonzalez will find it hard to turn down the opportunity to prove himself

on a bigger stage in Europe.

Gonzalez has featured in all 40 games for the Galaxy this season and

was a dominating presence in defence for Galaxy as the Galaxy ties the

record 17-games shutout and allowing 38 goals in 46 games in all

competition.

Watch how Gonzalez tear Alajuelense (CONCACAF Champions League)

apart with a header from (no-suprise) amazing Beckham corner.

So is David Beckham leaving?

That will be the biggest question at the back of everyone’s mind

as Christmas comes along. Beckham is officially remains a

Galaxy player until 31st Decemeber 2011, and there were reports

that Beckham has already signed the deal with France Lique 1

club PSG.

BeckhamGalaxy managed to pop this question to Galaxy captain,

Landon Donovan. Click to hear his reply here.

After Christmas, the world awaits the official announcement of

David Beckham’s final decision. (Including BeckhamGalaxy.)

There is no greater anticipation than this. Don’t you agree?

After LA Galaxy’s MLS Cup Final Game versus Houston Dynamo, 20th Nov,

French Journalist: “What do you say to PSG Fans waiting for you in Paris?”

David Beckham: “Right now I’m a Galaxy player, that’s all I can say. I’m enjoying myself.”

PSG insiders stated publicly that the “Beckham deal” is 95 percent complete. (12th Dec)

Beckham’s reaction is a flat refusal to commit his future move, and suggested that he will

wait until the New Year before making a final decision.

As to the French papers saying that the Beckham has signed the contract last Wed,

21st Dec,

French paper L’Equipe exclaimed “Le Voila!” (He’s here!)

While Le Parisien stated “Il a dit Oui!” (He said Yes!).

Beckham (through his spokesman):

“No agreement has been reached with any club yet,

talks of a deal are premature, David has yet to make a final decision on his future.”

In reply to this,

LA Galaxy (through the official website):

“…….the MLS Cup-winning Galaxy have consistently said they are fighting to re-sign

Beckham, whose initial five-year contract with the club comes to an end this year.”

According to French sports daily L’Equipe,

PSG plans to give Beckham the regal treatment normally reserved for a foreign politician.

The doors to Paris City Hall will be opened to David Beckham and his family upon their

arrival.

Beckham’s move to Paris has not been entirely welcomed by PSG fans. Some fans

criticized the proposed transfer attempt by PSG as nothing more than a commercial

and marketing decision to promote the club in Asia. Another French Socialist politician,

Jean Marc-Aryault criticized Beckham’s “enormous salary”. If the Socialist party wins

the next Presidential election, they would introduce the “Maximum Salary Cap”.

Beckham remains a LA Galaxy player until 31st Dec, however on 1st Jan 2012,

Beckham will become a free agent and he is available to sign for any club on a

free transfer. Beckham does not ruled out the possibility that he will sign a contract

extension with LA Galaxy.

What do the fans of LA Galaxy have to say to this?

Beckham "Thumbs Up" to re-sign with LA Galaxy?

The spokesperson for David Beckham has “spoken” to the press that the talks about

David had already signed the contract with PSG is “premature”. Prior to this,

David has also stated that he will not make a decision until after Christmas and I

do believe that David is a man of his word. BeckhamGalaxy follows up on the report

and is hot on the trail of the Beckhams’s 2011 Christmas Paparazzi Trail.

David was also expected to be revealed in front of the PSG fans in the match against

Lille and the PSG fans were sorely disappointed to see a Beckham ‘No-show’. This

means that PSG was unable to “cash in” on the Christmas sale of Beckham’s PSG

Jerseys. The French Press is also very impatient, making bold (ridiculous) claims

that Beckham has already inked the deal and the headlines “Beckham has signed

with PSG” were typed out without any substantial evidence. Beckham’s

management agency XIX has stressed that David had not made any decision yet.

The Beckham family, David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and the little sis, Harper

were spotted by the paparazzi at the Los Angeles International Airport to spend the

Christmas with their family on Dec 16, 2011. The Beckhams will be returning back

home in London to spend the Christmas with their families.

The Beckhams Spotted at LAX

Upon arrival in London, David and Victoria received Christmas Cooking How-to Guide

from Celebrity Chef, Gordon Ramsay. David and Victoria are close friends with TV

Celebrity Chef Gordon and his wife, Tana and the two families and children have

spent the Christmas Day together for the last few years.

The Cooking How-to guide is a cooking blueprint of how to master every part of the

Christmas lunch and is peppered with his Michelin-star insider tricks of the “kitchen”

trade.

It is noted that the two families are unable to spend Christmas together. Gordon and

David were talking about what they were going to do without him so Gordon drew up

a few pointers for the Beckhams with the aid of his cookbook Cooking How-to Guide.

At this point,

BeckhamGalaxy will like to wish all readers a Merry, Merry Christmas! So that was how

the Beckhams are going to spend Christmas for 2011, how about you?

This is Part 2, in continuation from the previous post

“The Young David Beckham“.

The birthplace of David Beckham is at Leytonstone, London, England.

Born at Whipps Cross University Hospital, on May 2 1975,  David

Robert Joseph Beckham was the son of mother, Sandra Georgina, ‘

a hairdresser and father, David Edward Alan “Ted” Beckham, a

kitchen fitter.

It was mentioned in The Young David Beckham that Beckham played

for the Ridgeway Rovers U10 team at the tender age of 8. While playing

for the team, Beckham scored a prolific record of over 100 goals spread

over 3 seasons. The Ridgeway Rovers was founded in 1979, and was

then managed by David’s father, David Beckham Senior (full name:

David Edward Alan “Ted” Beckham).

The Ridgeway Rovers has also named David Beckham as the

Honorary Life President of Ridgeway Rovers FC. In their most recent

away match, on Dec 18, they played against Euro Dagenhem FC

which results in 3 – 0 defeat. Their previous home game was quite

impressive in which Ridgeway Rovers trounce Byron Red Star FC

7 – 0.

Sir Bobby Charlton with David Beckham

As a youth player at Ridgeway Rovers, Beckham had the chance to

attend one of Bobby Charlton’s football academies in Manchester and

won the chance to participate in one of the training sessions of

FC Barcelona. Above, Sir Bobby Charlton congratulating the young

David Beckham for being the final winner of Bobby Charlton TSU

Soccer Finals held at Old Trafford.

Beckham at Ridgeway Rovers

David’s secondary school is Chingford School, and this is where he played

for the school team. A representative from Manchester United came

knocking after David’s 12th birthday and at every summer breaks, he

would travel to Manchester for the football workouts.

Finally on July 1991, on the advice of Bobby Charlton, the Manchester

United Football Club signed 16-year-old David Beckham as an official

trainee.

Throughout his childhood, the young David Beckham has loitered on

the various neighborhood public parks to play soccer. Near Royston

Avenue, is the neigborhood park called Ainslie Park. Ainslie Park is

where David Beckham will visit his grandparents, who stayed at

council flats and David will take this opportunity to play at the

Council park pitches.

It is noted that David played for Chase Lane Junior School

Football team as well as Waltham Forest District and Essex

County teams. Larkswood Park is where David practiced with

his dad, spending countless hours perfecting the technique of

his now-legendary free kicks.

You have known the famous freekick goals scored by Beckham, for LA

Galaxy and his illustrious soccer career.

There was the 70-yard goal scored by Beckham in LA Galaxy Match

versus Kansas City. Relive the moment with this Youtube video.

Rewind back to 17 August 1996.

That is the date of the Spectacular “Wimbledon Goal” scored by

David Beckham as a Manchester United player.

During the match, as Wimbledon was behind by 2 goals and were

pressing forward, Goalkeeper Neil Sullivan became the victim of

Beckham’s Long Shot Prowess. In true Beckham Style, David

saw that Sullivan was a long way out of his goal and attempted

a shot that would sail over the keeper’s reach into Wimbledon’s

net.

Not coincidentally, the British public voted Beckham’s

“Wimbledon Goal” as Number 18 of the 100 Greatest Sporting

Moment. Beckham will go on to build up his reputation as one

of the best midfielder who is also appointed as Captain for

England.

It was later revealed that the boots that Beckham used to score

the Wimbledon Goal was mistakenly given to him. The Adidas

boots was meant for Scottish footballer Charlie Miller and even

had the name “Charlie” embroidered on the front of the boots.

Beckham had no qualms wearing the boot intended for another

footballer, as he had heard positive reviews from other football

players who had worn the Adidas Predator Boots.

Charlie Boots Worn by David Beckham

Adidas has a long-standing relationship with Beckham, making

custom-made boots to suit his personal needs.

Below, Beckham is seen in action, decked out in white Adidas Predator

X with the classic Adidas red stripes. The boots has already seen him

score spectacular long-range goals from all positions, including the

70-yarder, the corner flag or from outside the opposition area.

David Beckham has also run out in the Full Red Adidas Predator X boots,

for both LA Galaxy, AC Milan and England. Unfortunately, Beckham

suffered an injury in the AC Milan Match versus Chievo, causing him

to miss out on the 2010 World Cup.

Beckham in Red-Hot Predator X

Adidas is currently producing a new series called Predator Kinetic,

and several professional players have been trying the Blackout color

version. It is due to be released in May 2012. Beckham has been spotted

in the White-colored version of Predator Kinetic.

SOCCER is not a one-man’s show.

Unlike performance sports like boxing, track and field, swimming, sprinting

and snorkeling, etc……..

SOCCER is a team sport that involves 22 players on the field, 11 on each side.

In simple layman term, a non-soccer fan who watches soccer on TV simply

observe that there are 22 players chasing after 1 single ball on the field.

Of course, Soccer is nothing like that. David Beckham is a great passer of the

game and epitomes the ART of PASSING.

An important element in the game of soccer that will involve all 11 players

on the field is PASSING. BeckhamGalaxy uncovers the ART of PASSING,

the LA Galaxy Way.

PASSING the Ball around the field

For most part of the game of Soccer, players are engaged in the most common

activity of PASSING. To pass the the ball is to distribute the ball around the

field. For example, if the left side of the field is heavily defended by the

opponent, then it is time to distribute the ball to your team mates on the right,

and then to ATTACK on the opponent’s right side.

Learn to build a good understanding with your team mates as well. Observe

if the person has a dominant left-foot or right-foot. Depending on which side,

pass the ball to the person’s favored side. That way, he won’t be too pressured

when receiving the ball and facing the defender at the same time. It will make

you a better team player as well, because as much as you need good technical

skills, you also need to have teamwork skills to show that you can play well

with the rest of the team.

Remember, SOCCER is a team sport, not an individual sport.

PASSING also involves OFF-THE BALL Movement

As a soccer player, you are not only involved in making passes, you are also

moving into space to receive the ball. Or should I say running into space,

so that your teammate who has the possession of the ball, can be able to

pass the ball to you. This requires much tactical awareness within the game,

and is termed as OFF-THE-BALL Movement.

Make intelligent runs to move into the offensive-third so that your teammate

can pass the ball to you and you can dribble the ball to catch the opposing

team “on the backfoot”. Or simply run into shooting positions so your teammate

can “pass” the assist for you to shoot on goal. You can either choose to make the

FIRST TOUCH before you shoot or position your body so that you can shoot the

ball on FIRST TOUCH. Click this link on Beckham Galaxy’s

GOLDEN FIRST TOUCH.

It is also important to remember that Passing involves not only the PASS,

but also the OFF-THE-BALL movement after that. After passing the ball,

INIITIATE the OFF-THE-BALL movement. Many players are rather

“PASSIVE” in making the PASS and do not take part in the Off-The-Ball

movement. Soccer coaches are not looking for flat-footed and passive

players.

They are looking for ACTIVE, OFF-THE-BALL moving players.

Just remember. PASS and GO. PASS and GO.

PASS the ball and GO into Off-the-ball movement.

Have a closer look at this video demonstrating PASS and GO.

Watch as David BECKHAM makes the Off-the-Ball movement into a shooting position and
