audience: fine. audience: good. audience: hello, how are you? david: great. shimrit: so, david, youhad a really exciting announcement today. you announced that you'restaying with us here in california for two more years. what made you makethat choice?
david: i mean, obviously, firstoff, i needed to look at it as where my family aremost happy and where are they most settled. and at the moment, my childrenare settled here in school, and my wife loves livingin california. and i love living hereand working here. so that was partof the reason. and i also made the decisionbecause i feel that soccer is growing in this country.
in the last five years, ibelieve that it's grown quite a lot, and the interesthas become bigger. so i want to be part of thatgoing forward, so i'm signing a two year deal. i'm very proud to be part ofthis franchise and to be part of the galaxy, especiallybeing champions now. so it's an excitingtime for us. shimrit: well, we your fans herein the us are very happy. i think we're going to heardifferent things from fans in
england and other places. so you have your amazingfootball career. you are now launching a linewith h&m for underwear. you're a unicef ambassador. your wife, victoria, is alsoextremely successful. she has her own fashion linewhich is beautiful. you have three amazing boysand a little girl. david: yeah. shimrit: oh, my god.
how do you do it all? david: we juggle things. but our number one priorityis obviously our children and our family. nothing else comesbefore that. we're very busy, professionally,of course, both of us. but we manage it so the childrenhave always got someone around.
they've always got one ofus looking after them. and we always take thekids to school, drop off and picking up. and we do everythingthat normal parents do with their children. but we're very busyprofessionally, which is a good thing. but our children don'tmiss out on anything. and, you know, it's an excitingtime for us as a
family right now. shimrit: that's amazing. and your little girl, harper, isshe more like a spice girl or is she more likea soccer girl? david: i think she's going tohave a little bit of both. she'll be more so intothe fashion side than the sporty side. but she's bound to be sporty. she's got three brothers thatlove playing sports.
she's got a dad that obviouslyloves playing soccer. so she'll be sportyin some way. shimrit: great. well, just so you know, on apersonal note, i just had a baby boy myself. david: congratulations. shimrit: he's just aboutharper's age. so, i thought-- here he is right now--
david: aw. shimrit: i thought that maybe ifyou guys ever want to do a play date or anythinglike that-- david: he's very cute. shimrit: we'd totallybe open to that. david: he's very beautiful. shimrit: all right. so, now, going backto more questions. so, obviously, we have excitedfans from all over the world.

and i have a smallquestion for you. david: ok. miguel: ok? it's an easy question. good. miguel: what do you missfrom real madrid? david: what do i missfrom real madrid? there's so many things i missfrom madrid as a city, from real madrid as a club.
when i moved to real madrid,it was one of the biggest honors that i had in my career,being part of a club that is one of the biggestclubs in the world with the history. i was excited to go there, andespecially to be able to play with the likes of rauland ronaldo and roberto carlos and zidane. for me that was an unbelievableexperience. and to be part of that was trulyan honor for four years.
and to end up winning the leaguein the last season was really incredible. so there's many things i miss. i miss the club, imiss the fans. the fans were unbelievableto me. so warming, and i missthe fans a lot. i miss the food. i love spanish food. every christmas i get a jamonand i enjoy it, and my
children love it. so i miss the food, imiss the culture. i miss everythingabout madrid. it was such a greatpart of my life. miguel: we also missyou in madrid. [laughter] david: thank you. thank you very much. estelle.
estelle: hey, david. david: hi estelle. estelle: i'm good. we're here in accra, ghana,and really excited to have this opportunity tohang out with you. estelle: i'm going to ask youa first question before i introduce you to these fouramazing young ghanaian footballers that all aspire tobe as successful as you. i'm sure you've heard ofthe black stars before.
david: of course, of course. estelle: yes, indeed. go black stars. so our first question is, whenare you coming to ghana? david: actually, i've never beento ghana before, so it would be exciting to go there. i'd love an invitation,of course, which you've just given me. so i would love togo to ghana.
when i have some down time andi'm not playing, that'd be great, because ghana issuch an amazing place. and some of the players thathave come out of ghana have been strong players,good players. so, yeah. i'm happy for the invitation. thank you. estelle: it's a pleasure. and the four young men with me,theo, zachie, farouk and
evance are from the right todream academy that supports less privileged but very skilledyoung ghanaians to become as successfulas you are. so, theo, you're going to askthe first question, right? theo: yeah. hi, mr. beckham. david: all right, theo. theo: i'm good. david: good.
theo: i'm theo, as you know,and i'm from the right to dream academy. i want to know some of thechallenges you faced in becoming a professionalfootballer. david: good question. some of them-- audience: yay! david: there is alwayschallenges within life. i've noticed that with,obviously, myself growing up
as a young boy. and there's many distractionsaround the world, as i'm sure you all know. there's distractions outsideof football, there's distractions in life. and you have to give up a lot ofthings to be able to become a great athlete, to be ableto become successful as a footballer. i did that as a kid, you know?
many of my friends wanted to goout to parties, wanted to do different things. i was focused on beinga footballer. that's all i everwanted to be. i wanted to be successfulas a footballer. nothing else. i had no interestin being famous. i had no interestin making money. for me, playing footballprofessionally was my focus.
so, that's one of the challengesas a young kid that i came over. but there's differentchallenges. i'm sure you all havedifferent challenges throughout your life like manypeople do around the world. but if you can stay focused, ifyou can stay professional, and if you can practice wheneveryou get a chance, that's the biggest thing thatyou can do in life. and you have to dream.
i had a dream to play formanchester united, i had a dream to play for england,and i had a dream to play in an fa cup final. and my dreams came true, butthey came true because i worked hard and istayed focused. theo: thank you. estelle: great. next question? evance: hi, mr. beckham.
my name is evance. david: hi, how are you? evance: i'm fine, thank you. how do you feel when you walkout onto the pitch and thousand people cheeringfor your name. how do you feel? david: another good question. go ghana team! go ghana!
david: it's one of the bestfeelings in the world. it's one of the best feelingsin the world to walk out in front of fans that arecheering for you. i love playing football. but to play the game that i lovein front of 50,000 people when they're screaming yourname, when they're cheering for you, it's one of the bestfeelings in the world. estelle: and over to zachie. zachie: hi, beckham.
david: hi, how are you. zachie: i'm fine, good. my name is zachie-- david: nice to meet you. zachie: and i just wanted toask you a question and the question is, i [unintelligible] about self-discipline,integrity, and passion. so what qualities have been themost important one in your ball career?
david: in my career, i thinkmy hard work has been the reason why i am in the positioni am today, and why i've been so successful. you know, i work very hard. i know that you don't getanything for free. if you want to becomesuccessful, you have to work. you always have to haveintegrity throughout the game. i think that's a big thing. you always want to bea role model to
people and to children. and if children can watcheverything that you do and want to do everything that youdo and be that person, then you know you've becomea good role model. i had role models was when iwas growing up, and i still look up to players now. even at my age, i still look upto players that i admire. so i think you always have tohave heroes that you can look up to, that you canachieve the same.
if you want to be a player likemessier or ronaldo, you watch that player. it's as simple as that. the way they play, the way theybehave, it's important. zachie: thank you. david: you're welcome. estelle: and farouk? farouk: hi, mr. beckham. david: hi, farouk.
farouk: fine, thank you. so my name is osmarfarouk from the northern part of ghana. farouk: 14 years of ageand i'm a left winger. to begin with, i would like tocongratulate you for signing another two-year contractwith galaxy. farouk: and my questionis, education is very important to me. as well as going to trainingeveryday, you go to school.
you have a successful careeron and off the pitch. what advice do you have forbalancing these great demands? i think you have commitmentseven at a young age. even at your age, youhave schooling. schooling is one of themost important things in a child's life. it's important to stay inschool, it's important to learn, because that canset you up for your life leading forward.
and that carries on toyour life outside of school as well. if you have that dedication togo to training every day. when i was a kid and i used tocome home from school i used to go over on the park andi used to try and beat my keeping up record fromthe day before. so it's about dedication. it's about being able to havegoals and trying to reach them, and reaching them,and going above.
so, dedication is one of thebiggest things in anyone's life, and especially in afootball player's career. good luck and great questions. david: bye. shimrit: let's hearnow from katie. katie: hi, david. david: hi, katie. katie: i'm good. i am in east london.
david: you are? whereabouts? katie: i'm in hackneyvictoria park. david: oh, wow. nice. [laughter and chatterfrom ghana team] katie: so, my question for youis, you've played on loads of different teams with someamazing players. but if you could have any playeron your team, dead or
alive, who would it be? david: i would haveto say zidane. miguel: i guessed. shimrit: (laughing) david: again, you're right. because he for me is thegreatest player i've ever played with. i'd also like diego maradona,i must admit. if i had a choice, i'd likemaradona and zidane.
but zidane, he's a player likei've never played with before. his talent is unbelievable,and he's an amazing person as well. so to be able to have playedwith a player like him was really, really an honor. for four years i played withhim, so that was amazing. and if i had the choice to bringhim to the galaxy and to play with him again, itwould be unbelievable. katie: thank you.
shimrit: tahir. david: hi, how are you doing? tahir: david, i'mfrom manchester. i like manchester united. i've got with me aspiring youngfootballers playing for bolton school team. tahir: they're excited toask you some questions. david: of course. tahir: i'll start with joel.
joel: hi, david. david: how are you doing? joel: i'm all right, thanks. joel: as a younger footballplayer, is there more opportunities in americathan england? in our football team there'sinactive players, extracurricular players,alternate players and much more. we're all a bit nervous aboutour future because there's so
many foreign players cominginto the country. so what advice can you giveus on what we should do? well, i think that there'sopportunities in football all over the world. there's definitely a lot ofopportunities to play the game in this country, in the us. there's some great teamsthroughout the mls that are starting youth academies, thatare starting younger teams. and that's something that'sonly just happened
over the last year. so that's exciting. i think people that are talkedabout, foreign players that have come into our league, andobviously the fact that they're coming to the leagueand that so many foreign players have been brought in. are young kids like yourselfgoing to get chances to play professionally for the teamsthat you support? i always worried about playingprofessionally for manchester
united because i didn't think iwould get in front of andrei kanchelskis or the playersthat played back then. but when that opportunitycomes along, you have to take that. you have to stay dedicated, youhave to stay focused on that dream that you have. andif you get the opportunity-- yeah, of course there's alwaysgoing to be foreign players that are going to be broughtinto teams in england, because it's one of the biggestleagues in the world.
so you're always going to getgreat foreign players that come into the league. and i believe that, sincethat's been happening, i believe that the level of playhas gone up, the interest in the game has gone up. but it's still important foryoung homegrown talent like you guys to be broughtthrough. and the only way you can bebrought through and be given the chance, if you're a focusedplayer and if you're
dedicated to playing the game,which you obviously all are. so i hope you all get chancesand i hope you're all playing for england in the future. shimrit: thanks guys. let's hear from christina. christina: hi, david. david: hi, christina,how are you? christina: i'm good,how are you? christina: i'm fromnew york city.
christina: my question for youtoday is, what did you most recently search for on google? david: wow. it's usually more my sondoes all the searching. my son will sit there in theevening and be like, ok, daddy, what can we search for? and it's usually picturesof them when they were young kids. david: so they're alwayssearching for pictures of
themselves when they wereyoung or videos when they were young. so that's definitely somethingthat they search for. actually, i was on lastnight searching. my son wants a motorized littlecar for his birthday. his birthday is coming up. so i was on i was on google lastnight trying to find him a motorized car. so that was my latest one.
christina: awesome david: nice to talk to you. shimrit: let's hear from ann. ann: hi, david. david: hi, ann. ann: great, thanks. this is my first hangout aswell, and i can't imagine a better person to have it with. david: thank you very much.
and likewise. ann: you do an amazing amount ofwork with unicef, with your football you also do an incredible amount of traveling. i always feel absolutely rubbishafter a long haul flight, so i want to knowwhat tricks you have to avoid jet lag. david: i have no trickwhatsoever. and if you do have any ideas,please tell me.
ann: you always seem tohave so much energy. david: i mean, i have to,because i have three boys that have so much energy throughoutthe house. so, the moment i land,they're ready to go out and play football. so i have no choice but tohave to have that energy. but obviously it's so difficulttraveling from one side of the world to another,and be doing the stuff that i have been doing recently withunicef and different charities
that i've been working with. but, no. jet lag? i'm not sure how youget over that. ann: i was expecting somemiraculous tip there. david: i really wish i couldhave an intelligent-- an idea, but i really don't. let's invite somemore fans in. miguel: hello.
shimrit: all right, asthey're coming in. miguel: ok, i thinki'm leaving. miguel: thank you verymuch, david. nice to meet you. thank you everyone. miguel: you are more thanwelcome to madrid. i'll be back soon, i'm sure. miguel: ok. bye bye.
ann: david? ann: can i just ask? ann: if the boys were luckyenough to have international caps, would you want them toplay for england or the usa? david: go, england. audience: go, england! david: definitely england. definitely. well, two of them were born inengland, and cruz was born in
spain and harper was obviouslyborn in the us. but, no, i'd always want myboys to play for england. ann: ok. and i hope to see youat the olympics. me too. tahir: yeah, hi. i would like to put anotherquestion, daniel wants to ask [unintelligible]quick question. daniel: hi, david.
did you have role modelsin football when you were growing up? david: my role modelwas bryan robson. do you remember bryan robson? tahir: i do. david: bryan robson was a playerthat i looked up to when i was your age, and wheni was younger than your age. obviously because he playedfor manchester united. he wore the number sevenfor manchester united.
he played for england, captainedengland, and also wore number seven forengland as well. and everything that he usedto do, i wanted to do. i wanted to wear the numberseven for england and united. i wanted to captainmy country. and i was able to do that. that was my dream. and when i was able to do that,it was one of the best feelings that i'd ever had.
he scored in a world cup,i scored in a world cup. he was my hero wheni was growing up. tahir: i'm sorry, david. we have a quick question fromhenry if that's ok. henry: hi, david. david: hey. henry: would you ever considergoing into management? david: i've always said no. i've always said i wouldn't wantto manage a team, to be
honest. i've never beeninto management. i love playing the game,it's what i've loved for many years. but to be a manager is somethingthat i'm not interested in. i love coaching kids. i love being involvedwith kids. but becoming a manager? i don't think so.
audience: hey, we're in. people from all over theworld are joining. that's exciting. do you guys have any questionsfor david? charlie? betto? tahir: we do. ann: yeah, i do. audience: we do!
shimrit: speak up! ann: can i ask anotherquestion? shimrit: sure. speak up, ann. ann: is the media attentioneasier to deal with and live a normal life in america than itwas in the mad circus when you were in europe? david: i mean, it's kind of amad circus wherever we are. but it's part of ourlives, you know?
we don't complain about it, wedon't moan about it, because we know it's partof our lives. of course, there are certainthings that we would love to be able to do more privatelythan obviously how it is. but we're very lucky to be in aposition we are as a family, financially. we're very lucky andwe're very aware of how lucky we are. so we never complain.
but there is occasions where youall are over the park and you just want to spend time withthe kids and it can be difficult at times. but i've never complainedabout it. ann: do the boys have a bit moreprivacy over there than they would in england? david: i think they do. they have a certainamount of privacy. they go to school andthey're just another
little boy at the school. obviously, the kids and theparents know who their mom and dad are, but they definitelyget an easier ride than i'm sure they would if theywere in europe. well we're just about to wrapup, so one more thing i wanted to show david before we leave.so, we're launching a new marketing campaign too today. audience: woo! shimrit: this is beckhamfor google+.
what do you think, david? david: i think, i think it's-- shimrit: it's going to fly? ok. no, we're just kidding. it was amazing to have you withus today, your very first of many hangouts i'm sure. fans, what did you think? [cheering]
david: thank you very much shimrit: all right, thank you. high five. david: nice to see you all. talk soon. audience: bye! bye. bye david beckham.
