Los Angeles (US), Nov. 19 : Former England football star David Beckham has said lifting the Major League Soccer (MLS) Cup will be as big as winning Euro Cup.
Addressing a final press conference in a hotel lobby in Downtown Los Angeles, Beckham insists the outcome of Sunday''s match will have no bearing on his decision about his future.
He has made clear his desire to represent Team GB at next summer''s Olympics and, at 36, will base his choice on how he ''feels physically''.
Should he become an MLS Cup winner, Beckham would become only the second Englishman to win a title in three countries.
Beckham has won titles for Manchester United and Real Madrid. The other Englishman is Trevor Steven, who won the championship at Everton, Marseille and Rangers.
"I hope people don''t think it''s about the money. I''ve been lucky enough to have big clubs in Europe wanting me still, which, at my age and stage of my career, is a real honour. I am competitive - I''m not going to hide it. Winning any big competition when you''re an athlete is what you set your sights to do. I think you always feel unfulfilled if you don''t win a trophy, no matter where I''ve played," the Daily Mail quoted Beckham, as saying.
"Playing for European teams, when you win the league you are champions. It is obviously different here. We want the big one. It would rank up there with every other title I''ve won - whether it''s the European Cup final, the FA Cup final or the Premier League," he added.
"The last three years have been successful. Hopefully I''ve proved that I''ve been committed to this club and committed to playing the game here," Beckham said. (ANI)
