Legenda Inggris ini berada di Timur Jauh tur sebagai bagian dari nya kunjungannya lima hari ke Cina.
Dengan mengenakan setelan abu-abu dan sepatu hitam mewah, veteran yang kini bermain di Paris St Germain mengambil ancang-ancang untuk melakukan tendangan bebas di depan pemain inti Wuhan Zall klub di provinsi Hubei.
Tapi setelah itu yang terjadi sangat berbahaya ketika Beckham kehilangan keseimbangan dan akhirnya jatuh telentang - meskipun begitu semangat Beckham tampaknya tidak lantas surut.
Sementara itu, mantan kapten Inggris ini berjanji untuk mempromosikan sepak bola di Cina selama jangka waktu yang panjang, dan membuatnya menjadi salah satu liga paling populer di dunia.
"Terima kasih karena saya diberi kesempatan hadir di kota indah Anda ´, tulis Beckham pada Jumat setelah dikerumuni penggemarnya setibanya di Qingdao seperti dilansir Mail Online.
Beckham, yang telah bermain empat pertandingan untuk tim baru Paris Saint-Germain dan menyelesaikan laga pertama 90 menit pekan lalu sebelum jeda internasional, mengatakan: "Saya ingin orang-orang menyadari ini bukan proyek jangka pendek."
"Ini adalah sesuatu yang kami sangat bersemangat tentang mengubah mentalitas liga dan membawa anak-anak muda membuat liga ini sepopuler beberapa liga besar di dunia."
Beckham melanjutkan: "Saya selalu menjadi penggemar sepakbola Cina, karena saya pikir para pemain sangat berbakat dan mereka sangat bersemangat."
"Ketika Anda melihat kegembiraan di seluruh negeri ini ketika tim telah dilakukan dengan baik Anda melihat betapa pentingnya mereka. Saya bersemangat untuk membuat perbedaan. "
Sementara itu, Zlatan Ibrahimovic mengatakan Beckham bisa membantu membimbing Paris St Germain meraih juara liga utama Prancis dan merebut Piala Liga Champions.
PSG berada lima poin di puncak La Ligue dan bersiap menghadapi perempat final Liga Champions dengan Barcelona pada akhir bulan ini.
Dia mengatakan: "David memiliki kualitas besar. Dia datang di tengah-tengah musim beberapa bulan dan setelah istirahat pra-musim kami di Qatar.
"Dia telah melakukan pekerjaan yang baik dan ada perasaan besar dalam sentuhannya. Dia sangat penting bagi kami karena dia memiliki pengalaman besar dan itu akan berguna, terutama karena kita mendekati akhir musim hanya dua setengah bulan lagi.
"Sekarang kita sudah dekat untuk memenangkan piala, David Beckham menjadi lebih penting bagi kami. Dia telah memainkan waktu yang lama dan ini adalah hal yang baru, lingkungan baru dan situasi baru untuk beberapa pemain kami yang belum berada di posisi ini sebelumnya. Itu adalah di mana ia datang dengan kualitasnya dalam dan di luar lapangan. "
DAVID Beckham was left red-faced today after he slipped over showing off one of his trademark free-kicks in front of a group of young Chinese footballers.
The England legend is in the Far East on tour as part of his his five-day ambassadorial visit to China.
Dressed in a luxury grey suit and black shoes, the Paris St Germain veteran lined up to swing in a free-kick in front of starstruck players from Wuhan Zall club in the Hubei province.
But it all went horribly wrong when he lost his balance and ended up flat on his back - although Beckham appeared to take the fall in good spirits.
Meanwhile, the former England captain has vowed to promote football in China over a long period of time, and make it one of the most popular leagues in the world.
´Thank you for having me in your wonderful city´, wrote Beckham on Friday after being mobbed upon his arrival in Qingdao.
Beckham, who has played four games for new side Paris Saint-Germain and completed his first 90 minutes last week before the international break, said: ´I want people to realise this is not a short-term project.
´It is something that we are very passionate about changing the mentality of the league and bringing youngsters through and making this league as popular as some of the big leagues in the world.´
Beckham continued: ´I´ve always been a fan of Chinese football because I think the players are very talented and they are very passionate.
´When you see the excitement throughout this country when the team has done well you see how important it is to people. I am excited to make a difference.´
Meanwhile, Zlatan Ibrahimovic says Beckham can help guide Paris St Germain to the French title and Champions League success.
PSG sit five points clear at the top of La Ligue and face a Champions League quarter-finals showdown with Barcelona later this month.
He said: ´David has a big quality. He came in the middle of the season a couple of months and after the pre-season break we had in Qatar.
´He has done a good job and there is a big feeling in his touch. He is very important for us because he has big experience and that will count, especially as we are close to the end of the season with just two and half months to go.
´Now we are close to winning a trophy David Beckham becomes even more important for us. He has played a long time and this is a new thing, a new environment and a new situation for some of our players who have not been in this position before. That is where he comes in with his quality inside and outside the pitch.´
