The man who used to be my idle


Many girls will be very excited if you mention the name” David Beckham”, and I am no exception. This soccer player from England is now well known around the world. He is not only a good soccer player, but he also happens to have a supermodel looks. When he played the 2001 World Cup in Japan, people in Asia also began to adore him.
Soccer has became Beckham's main focus ever since he could walk. His father played soccer with him frequently in his childhood. Constant practice has developed Beckham's talent. The professional scouts noticed this talented teenager as a standout player and gave him a chance to join the Manchester United as a trainee at his age of 16. When he was 20, Beckham helped the united win its league championship and become famous throughout the country. But his image took a blow when he played with England opponent, Argentina. He was sent off because he kicked at one of the Argentina’s players. Even though he was criticized by a lot of people, he still helped the Manchester United won the championship the very next year.
I used to love him a lot. However, recently I found out that his life was actually very extravagant. He even built a zoo and tenderloin for his children. Moreover, he had an affair with his secretary, breaking his homeboy image. My admiration for him has started to fade away. I finally understood that no matter how handsome or talented a man was, what really matter was his heart.
