Beckham: I paid $10m for Milan stay:

David Beckham says he won't follow Carlo Ancelotti to Chelsea, but reveals
he paid around $10m to stay at Milan this season.

"I don't think that's a possibility, to be quite honest," he told the LA Times
 when asked about the Stamford Bridge move.

"At the end of the day, I'm still contracted to the Galaxy. I'll be coming
 back July 11 to start training and then to finish the MLS season."

"But it's always nice to be wanted, and Carlo has been amazing to me since
 I've come to Milan, to play me in as many games as he has. I'm very thankful
 to him for that."

Although there is no contract to return to Milan next term, Beckham has a
basic deal with them to come back to San Siro once he is free from his MLS
duties in November.

"Nothing has been signed yet, and nothing's concrete. But obviously Milan
 have already showed their interest in me coming back, so that's a good sign."

He also revealed a closer look at the figure he paid out of his own pocket to
remain in Serie A beyond the original March loan deadline, as the MLS claims
it was around $10m.

"I'm not sure what the actual figure was, but I did contribute quite a huge
 sum. It was something that I felt I had to do to stay here for the rest of
 the season, and I accepted it. At the end of the day, it's a hell of a lot of
 money, but it's something I really needed to do."

Becks was asked if failure to qualify for the Champions League would affect
his decision, as Milan must avoid defeat by two clear goals at Fiorentina on
Sunday if they are to enter the competition directly.

"No, I don't think so. The level of play, wherever I play, is more important
 than a Champions League spot, but it would be very disappointing as a Milan
 player at the moment to not be in the Champions League."

LA 時報的報導：(這篇寫的比較詳細)
http://articles.latimes.com/p/2009/05/30/sports/sp-beckham-soccer30

簡單整理:

01. 被洛杉磯時報記者問及會不會追隨安切去切爾西時,
    小貝很明確的回答:"我很老實告訴你,我不認為有那個可能"

02. 其實 ch4 那篇標題下很鳥,因為洛杉磯時報那篇訪談小貝根本沒刻意強調是他自掏
    1000 萬美金來延長租借,雖然他自掏腰包是事實,但小貝只說花了不少錢,他也認為
    有那個必要這麼作;但 1000 萬美金這數字是 MLS 那邊報的
    (不過這 1000 萬僅用在他從原本 3 月租借期滿再延長到幫米蘭踢完這賽季而已)

03. 小貝還沒跟米蘭簽下賽季的約,而且他 7 月 11 日會先回銀河隊參加集訓,
    並且把他在銀河隊的賽季踢完,然後 ch4 那篇是說小貝跟米蘭這邊有個基本協議,
    一旦 11 月他結束在 MLS 那邊的賽季恢復自由就重返聖西羅
    (這邊我覺得怪怪的啦 XD 沒簽約,但是怎樣的 basic deal? 口頭講還是草簽?)

04. 被問及是否有可能因為佩雷斯重任皇馬主席再回皇馬踢球?
    他回答自己也不清楚,未來會發生什麼事他還不知道,當下他只全神貫注在今天這場
    比賽上
    (他認為即便以目前 34 歲的高齡還能被問到這問題當然是很"動聽",
     但過去他也從未想到過能在此時被租借到像米蘭這樣的球隊踢球)

05. 被問到在馬德里是不是還有房子?
    小貝覺得這問題很好笑,不過他還是很老實回答"是的"
    "我曾經試著把它賣掉,但顯然運氣不好遇上經濟危機所以沒賣成"

06. 被問到米蘭能否贏得下賽季直接進入歐冠小組賽資格會不會影響到他下賽季到哪一隊
    踢球的決定(就今晚聯賽的三四名之爭)
    小貝回他不認為有啥影響,球隊的實力等級比歐冠從哪踢起還重要;
    不過如果以米蘭球員身份來講的話,萬一當下沒能直接進入歐冠小組賽當然會覺得非
    常失望
