David Beckham has made it clear that he is not running away from soccer in America as he gets ready to return for LA Galaxy in July after a loan spell at AC Milan. "People have questioned me and questioned my commitment to MLS, to the Galaxy, to soccer in America," Beckham to the MLS official website.
"I've always said that I'm committed to one, being an ambassador for MLS and soccer in America because I still believe in 10, 15 years this level will lift to a level where it can compete with some of the big teams in Europe and some of the big teams in Europe. And obviously I'm committed to the Galaxy.
"I said that to the players before I left and I said that to the manager before I left. This is not me running away from soccer in America. I'm fully committed to going back to MLS putting in performances like I know I can, being fully fit and working hard for the team. I still believe we've got very good players on our team and I still believe we should be reaching the playoffs.
"Hopefully, that will happen this year."
