David Beckham's Two Assists Help AC Milan Win 5-1

When will managers learn?

NEVER leave David Beckham on the bench, as he is vitally important for EVERY game.

David proved that tonight by producing display of pure brilliance, as AC Milan moved up to second in Serie A with a 5-1 win over Torino.

David started the match after two games as an unused substitute after an apparent "shoulder injury", and set up the first two goals of a Filippo Inzaghi's hat-trick.

Beckham first found Inzaghi after nine minutes from a free-kick, but the Milan striker had strayed offside, and the goal was ruled out.

Four minutes later the Inzahgi scored from a Beckham corner and on 37 minutes a clever chip into the box from David again found Inzaghi head's to make it 2-0.

David Beckham Is Benched Again

David Beckham was benched for the second game in a row, as AC Milan beat Chievo 1-0.

Ancelotti, who was sent to the stands before half-time for arguing with the referee, claimed last night that Beckham was suffering from a shoulder injury.

"There is nothing special he has to do to get back into the team because he has always trained hard and he has no great problem," said Ancelotti.

"He has been hindered by an injury to his right shoulder which has set him back a little for the last two games."

Ancelotti sent out veteran Clarence Seedorf instead of Beckham and the Dutchman scored the only goal.

There appeared to be nothing wrong with Beckham as he warmed up during the second half, plus David never mentioned the injury in his blog this week.

Like many of you have said, this seems like a classic case of David being used by a club to elevate their status. Now there is no chance of AC Milan winning Serie A, the manager seems to have forgotten all about David.

David Beckham Benched For The First Time

Victoria was in the stands with the boys.

AC Milan's Goaless Draw

It has just be revealed on Sky Sports News, that part of the deal which was struck between LA Galaxy and AC Milan, was for them to play each other in an exhibition match on July, 19 2009.

No doubt David will play one half for each team.

I am so jealous that you guys in LA will get to see that game live. It sounds like it'll be a lot of fun.

In a statement made today David said:

"I'm really grateful to the LA Galaxy and AC Milan for making this dream deal happen."

"It allows me to play for AC Milan and the LA Galaxy in the same year, and at the same time to continue my commitment to develop soccer in the United States, which is something I am passionate about."

"My family is happy and settled and will remain in LA."

"The perfect result for 2009 would be for me to help Milan to reach the Champions League and for the LA Galaxy to make the play-offs and win the MLS Cup."

Speculations over, Victoria and the kids will stay in LA, which frankly makes a lot of sense for the time being.

Victoria Beckham At The San Siro

Victoria Beckham arrived prior to the start of the Serie A soccer match between AC Milan and Atalanta at the San Siro stadium this afternoon. She sat next to Simon Fuller, who is always there for the big Beckham occasions.

Ditching all black ensemble, Mrs Beckham looks stunning in white furry coat, with her very favourite Chanel purse, Dolce & Gabbana navy headband, and her dVb sunglasses.

Très chic.

Inzaghi's Hat-Trick Seals Milan's Win Over Atalanta

Beckham's crosses from the left caused all sorts of trouble for the Atalanta defence, and Beckham put Inzaghi through on 16 minutes.

AC Milan Beat Al Saad 2-1

Alexandre Pato and Luca Antonini scored tonight to give AC Milan a 2-1 win over Qatar's Al Sadd in a friendly.

Pato gave Milan the lead in the 27th minute, with Al Sadd's Mohammed Golam equalizing in the 36th. Antonini scored the winner just a minute later.

David Beckham played the first half for Milan, after reiterating his wish to stay with the Italian team for the rest of the season rather than return to the LA Galaxy.

I said earlier that friendly games make no sense mid season, but Mak put it into perspective when he said that Milan are raising money via the friendly games. I would imagine this would raise a lot of money, but it's no way to prepare a team who are trying to fight for a champions league position for next season.
