Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello says David Beckham has not been the same on the field since Steve McClaren’s decided to drop him from the England team. “He has had bad times after being left out of England’s national team,” Capello told Sky TV. “Those are moments which produce psychological difficulties.” Nevertheless, the Italian coach says his form is steadily improving and he hopes the player will decide to stay with the Spanish giants despite starting just three games this season. “The other day in the Champions League he played very well and now he seems to have become the Beckham we once knew,” Capello added. “He always gives his best both in training and when he is playing…But you also have to keep in mind that a coach needs to have the overall picture in his head in order to achieve certain results.” Beckham has reportedly received an offer of a two-year extension to his current contract, which runs through June. If no deal is agreed upon, the player will be free to talk to other clubs as early as January 1.
