ERIKSSON SITS ON THE FENCE

Talking of Beckham’s rumoured move abroad, Sven had this to
say:

"It's important to be playing in the Champions League, but I am
sure that a team like Barcelona will only be out of the
Champions League for one season. I doubt it will be for any
longer. So I don't think that would be a problem for David
Beckham, absolutely not.

"It doesn't really matter where he plays football, as long as
you talk about a big team. I don't know whether playing abroad
would be any better for him, but it certainly wouldn't be any
worse.''
