Florentino had always been a smart man; he strongly supported Zidane and Figo because he would rather wrongly kill than let go, intending to "siege" the Golden Ball Award with the highest probability.
But similarly, a smart man would not lose his grip.
Zidane and Figo made it into the top ten and top five, respectively.
Then Raul…
The third place was announced, and Beckham regretfully accepted the award.
He had been ranked second and third in this award, but he had never truly won it.
Stats, highlight moments, popularity, commercial value, he had maxed them all out.
So the only way to win, perhaps as Florentino had said, was that he needed a coach who wouldn't overshadow his starlight.
Beckham shook his head; he would not betray Manchester United and Ferguson.
If a treble and three consecutive Premier League titles weren't enough, then he would just have to win a quintuple and five consecutive Premier League titles.
