Beckham employs fitness guru
David Beckham was so desperate to revive his England career that he employed a fitness guru to get him back into top shape.
The hours and hours of extra training at home in Madrid with a specialist personal trainer have certainly paid off with the 32-year-old now back as an integral part of England’s Euro 2008 qualifying squad.
Beckham has been trying to keep his personal trainer a secret because it could be seen as an admission that his fitness has been below what is expected – something which contributed to Beckham being left out of England’s plans following the World Cup.
Real Madrid boss Capello also felt earlier in the season that Beckham’s fitness had slipped. But now he is back in favour both at club and international level.
