The party was initiated by Beckham's wife, Victoria, who was quite savvy at pulling strings.
The opportunity arose when Zidane and Figo came to England to shoot a major advertisement with Beckham.
Victoria knew that Sir Alex Ferguson didn't like her, and she didn't like that old man who controlled Beckham either.
She had always been looking for a chance to get Beckham to leave Manchester United.
It was rumored that Florentino, the new president of Real Madrid, had promised during the election that he would bring a superstar to the club every year.
He wanted to turn Real Madrid into the Galácticos of the football world.
Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham, Totti... these stars were all his targets.
Hadn't Figo just transferred to Real Madrid?
He must know something.
"He is a schemer, but I have to admit, he dares to do things that sound incredible," Figo affirmed with a change of tone.
Deschamps, on the other hand, widened his eyes, implying that it had nothing to do with him.
