DAYA tahan David Beckham dan kemampuannya menemukan kembali dirinya disebut manajer Manchester United Alex Ferguson "sungguh luar biasa".
"Anda berbicara tentang daya tahan dan dalam banyak hal menemukan kembali dirinya, ini sungguh luar biasa," kata Ferguson dalam wawancara dengan BBC.
"Ketika dia pergi ke Amerika tak ada orang di sini yang benar-benar berpikiran dia akan punya karir di sana," kata Ferguson merujuk kepindahan Beckham ke LA Galaxy pada 2007.
"Tapi dia berlanjut dan tetap bisa bermain untuk negaranya, dia bermain untuk AC Milan di laga Eropa (Liga Champions) dan dia telah bermain untuk PSG di ajang Eropa (Liga Champions), saya kira tak ada orang yang membayangkannya."
"Dia punya stamina yang luar biasa...dia bisa seharian berlari dan itu membuatnya tetap bertanding di segala level, bermain untuk negaranya pada usia 30-an."
MANCHESTER United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has described David Beckham as an "amazing person" and says his ability to reinvent himself is "absolutely incredible".
"You talk about longevity and in many ways reinventing himself, it has been absolutely incredible," Ferguson said.
"When he went to America there wasn't a person in this place who really thought he could have a career," Ferguson added about Beckham's move to LA Galaxy in 2007.
"Yet he went on and still played for his country, he played for AC Milan in European ties and he played for PSG in European ties, and I don't think anyone could have imagined that."
Ferguson added: "The one thing he always had was unbelievable stamina as a kid. He had the best stamina in the club.
"He could run all day, and that has allowed him to stay in the game at that kind of level, playing for his country in his mid 30s."
