Becks explains his decision to sign new contract

The former England captain yesterday said he had signed a new two-year contract with LA Galaxy because his family — wife Victoria and four children – were happiest living in America.
Beckham (36), who turned down a massively lucrative deal from Paris St Germain, admitted: ‘When you’re married and you have children, your priorities change.’
The multi-millionaire sportsman said things had changed since his days as a rising star at Manchester United when he and Victoria were not married and they both had more freedom to focus on their careers.

“It was a lot easier for us to make decisions based on our careers,” he said.
“We have three amazing boys and a little girl we have to look after so now our priorities are all about them.”
The couple’s sons, Brooklyn (12), Romeo, ten, and Cruz, six, are settled at school in Los Angeles, while their daughter Harper was born there last July.

Beckham added: “My family are happiest here at the moment. We love living in LA, we love living in America. We’ve adapted to the culture and everything the country has.”
And the star joked that he was relieved to sign his new contract with LA Galaxy because he needed to fund Harper’s bulging wardrobe.
“Her wardrobe is ridiculous already,’ he grinned. ‘I’m glad I got a two-year contract.”

Beckham was speaking in an interview streamed live online, which took place at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California.
The former Manchester United star had the audience in stitches as he was asked him whether he listened to Spice Girls music to get him motivated for a game.

He quipped: ‘The Spice Girls? Of course. “Wannabe’ always gets me going before I go on!”
But he quickly added: “Spice Girls is not on the playlist. It’s on my iPod but not on the playlist.

“I’m a huge Jay-Z fan. I’m a huge Stone Roses fan, who are getting back together in June — just plugging then.

“Certain managers at certain clubs don’t like music in the changing room before a game. Most players end up listening with their headsets.”
Beckham squirmed as he took questions live from the Google office in London, via a videolink, and was asked whether England or the USA were more likely to win a World Cup. — Daily Mail.
