Maldini hails Becks approach
Friday 2 January, 2009

Milan new boy David Beckham has already impressed club captain Paolo Maldini with his attitude to training.

Beckham has just joined the Rossoneri on loan from American side LA Galaxy and has begun work with his new teammates in Dubai.

There have been suggestions that the move is purely a commercial one, but Beckham is winning the right kind of attention from his colleagues.

“We players don't care what David's life is like off the pitch,” Maldini explained.

“We found a lad who hadn't trained for nearly three months, but I have had a talk to him and I noticed his determination and great desire to throw himself into work.

“Beckham is a real champion and he wants to start playing as soon as possible because Milan are a great club,” Maldini concluded.

The England international could even make his debut against Roma in Week 18.
