On the last night before the game, Twain met his old friends, the Beckham couple, as well as Shania, whom they brought here, at the hotel the team was staying in.
It was a private meeting, and both sides made a lot of effort to avoid the media. It was only in the end when Shania took the Beckham couple in disguise into Twain's room that they were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Beckham couple were personally invited by the club and Twain to watch the final live. Twain's thinking was simple. In addition to using this approach to show Beckham friendship, he also wanted Beckham to strengthen some of his anticipation and sense of belonging with this team.
He knew it was not easy for Beckham, who was from Manchester United, to face Manchester United again in the Premier League, even though Beckham himself had said he would play against Manchester United and even go to Old Trafford as a visiting team.
