Soccer legend, Pele, is cautioning David Beckham not to allow all the trappings of his lifestyle to overshadow his commitment to playing soccer. Seemingly more concerned with maintaining his hair and tan, Beckham’s being warned by the three-time World Cup winner to shift his focus toward his game.

“David Beckham is more of a pop star than a player. From my experience with New York Cosmos, I would advise him to be very well prepared for the matches.

“I know the level of play in the league. It is well balanced, and the spectators will demand a lot from him as their star player. But when there’s no training or practice, then he can stroll through Hollywood,” added Pele.

Oh Pele. So much has changed since you’ve been playing. It’s all about abs. I’m just kidding! But seriously, how can someone possibly attempt to convince David Beckham that he should put his training before his image when he’s married to a woman whose still commonly referred to as “Posh Spice”? She’s not “Interval Training Spice.” Coincidentally, that’s actually my nickname.
