Ancelotti pleased with Becks debut

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti was delighted with the impact his loan star, David Beckham, made in his Serie A debut away to Roma on Sunday.

Beckham is on loan at AC Milan until March from Major League Soccer side Los Angeles Galaxy.

The former England skipper was substituted in the 89th minute in the 2-2 draw with Roma.

“Beckham has shown in the days he has been with us that he is a tactically clever player, serious and well-balanced,” Ancelotti explained.

“Starting him was a little reward for inserting himself well into our group. I will never tire of pointing out that he is an exemplary professional who works hard.”

He added: “I think everyone is happy Beckham is here because he is professional and serious.”
