David Beckham delves back into the hateful treatment he received following his infamous 1998 red card 香蕉视频直播 and its impact on him 香蕉视频直播 in a new Netflix documentary series pegged to the 10th anniversary of his retirement.

香蕉视频直播淭his whole process has been like an emotional rollercoaster,香蕉视频直播 Beckham said of the in an exclusive video interview with The Associated Press. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e never talked about these certain moments in my career and in my life.香蕉视频直播

The intimate four-part series explores Beckham香蕉视频直播檚 upbringing, his courtship with his wife and his triumphs on the field, but perhaps the most difficult part was revisiting his painful sending off during England香蕉视频直播檚 World Cup match against Argentina.

香蕉视频直播淚 hadn香蕉视频直播檛 actually watched it and I hadn香蕉视频直播檛 actually watched the interviews and what people said about me after,香蕉视频直播 he said, adding that it left him 香蕉视频直播渟hocked and emotional.香蕉视频直播

Beckham was red carded for deliberately kicking the back of Diego Simeone香蕉视频直播檚 leg. He lashed out after the Argentina captain pushed him to the ground. England香蕉视频直播檚 World Cup hopes were crushed, and Beckham instantly went from hero to villain.

香蕉视频直播淏eckham香蕉视频直播 includes footage of the hatred the soccer star received 香蕉视频直播 condemnation in British tabloids and constant fan abuse, including one who hung his effigy from a noose outside a London pub.

香蕉视频直播淚 knew it was bad at the time, but going over that whole that whole thing was quite a tough one,香蕉视频直播 he told the AP.

The backlash continued throughout the next season.

香蕉视频直播淚t wasn香蕉视频直播檛 just stepping onto a football pitch, it was every time that I went out in my car and people stopped me and spat at my window and you know, all of those things, and then walking into a restaurant knowing that everybody in there hates you.香蕉视频直播

Best friend David Gardner recalls how Beckham even had to be accompanied by friends in the bathroom for his safety, yet never retaliated.

Despite the full support of Manchester United fans and club manager Sir Alex Ferguson, Beckham said there wasn香蕉视频直播檛 the same knowledge or concern about mental health that exists now.

香蕉视频直播淏ack then there wasn香蕉视频直播檛 anyone turning round to me and saying, 香蕉视频直播楢re you OK? Are you sure you香蕉视频直播檙e OK? Let香蕉视频直播檚 talk about it.香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈

Even his own family struggled to understand. 香蕉视频直播淭wenty five years ago, if I香蕉视频直播檇 have turned around to my dad and said that I don香蕉视频直播檛 feel great, he would have said, 香蕉视频直播楤oy, just get on with it香蕉视频直播. So that香蕉视频直播檚 how I grew up and that香蕉视频直播檚 how I knew how to kind of handle a situation like that,香蕉视频直播 he said.

香蕉视频直播淚 became, I wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 say a cold person, but I was able to block things out that were challenging and difficult for me at the time香蕉视频直播 he added, saying it helped him grow as a player and as a person.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 not a person that sits and reflects on past achievements and things like that香蕉视频直播 Beckham said, explaining that he learned from an early age that you can win a trophy and celebrate that evening, 香蕉视频直播渂ut then the next day you香蕉视频直播檙e on to the next season and you香蕉视频直播檙e on to something else. 香蕉视频直播

The first episode, which debuts Oct. 4, explores young David香蕉视频直播檚 upbringing in Chingford, Essex, and his relationship with his father.

香蕉视频直播淗e was a very disciplined dad from a very early age. And when I didn香蕉视频直播檛 play well, he told me and when I did play well, he kind of told me that I did play well, but not too much,香蕉视频直播 Beckham said with a smile.

It had always been his father香蕉视频直播檚 dream that his son play in the premiership for Manchester United and it soon became their shared dream, turned reality. After being spotted by a scout playing on London香蕉视频直播檚 Hackney Marshes, Beckham moved to Manchester at 15. The tough love continued under Ferguson. Their partnership helped Beckham win six Premier League titles, two FA Cups and one Champions League.

香蕉视频直播淲ithout a doubt, me getting out of London at that time and becoming a Manchester United player, in the north, surrounded by unbelievable people 香蕉视频直播 that for me without doubt helped me have the success and have the career that I had had and have,香蕉视频直播 he said. 香蕉视频直播淗aving the discipline of Sir Alex Ferguson possibly was one of the biggest reasons why I was able to succeed.香蕉视频直播

But the discipline didn香蕉视频直播檛 rub off when it comes to his own four children Brooklyn, , Cruz and Harper Seven, who all appear in the documentary. Beckham admits his wife is 香蕉视频直播減retty strict香蕉视频直播 and he finds it hard to lay down the law.

香蕉视频直播淚 always thought growing up, if I was to become a young dad, I would be like my dad. I would support my kids with going into football and be hard with them. But I was nowhere near like my dad was. I香蕉视频直播檓 a bit of a softie.香蕉视频直播

Meeting Spice Girl Victoria Adams was a pivotal moment in Beckham香蕉视频直播檚 life. She was already a global superstar as 香蕉视频直播淧osh Spice香蕉视频直播 and he was a rising talent with Manchester United.

香蕉视频直播淚t wasn香蕉视频直播檛 something that normally happens, you know, a footballer and a pop star coming together and the pressures of that but also her being on the world tour, me really wanting to see her. But obviously I couldn香蕉视频直播檛 travel. So, we used to sneak around.香蕉视频直播

He said they managed to keep their relationship secret for the first few months and then 香蕉视频直播渢he explosion happened.香蕉视频直播

Beckham香蕉视频直播檚 teammate and close friend Gary Neville jokes on 香蕉视频直播淏eckham香蕉视频直播 about the pair香蕉视频直播檚 long phone calls into the early hours before a game and says Beckham would drive for four hours just to spend 20 minutes with her.

Part three and four of the series were not available for review prior to Beckham香蕉视频直播檚 interview, but those episodes explore his explosive fallout with Ferguson, his sale to Real Madrid and tabloid allegations of Beckham香蕉视频直播檚 extra-marital affairs.

香蕉视频直播淭here are pressures, but you work hard,香蕉视频直播 Beckham said of his marriage. And despite press speculation, the couple recently celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary and remain a united force.

香蕉视频直播淚 suppose that香蕉视频直播檚 one of the reasons why we香蕉视频直播檙e so, so strong as a couple, because, yes, we have amazing kids, we have amazing careers, but we 香蕉视频直播 make time for each other as well.香蕉视频直播

Beckham香蕉视频直播檚 career spread far beyond his success as a player to cultural icon and entrepreneur. He was a trailblazer for collaborations with brands like Adidas, Armani, Breitling and more. While players weren香蕉视频直播檛 really doing similar deals at the time, he said it felt like a natural progression enabled by his success on the football pitch.

He knew early on that 香蕉视频直播淏rand Beckham香蕉视频直播 would broaden and lengthen his career if he could achieve a good balance.

香蕉视频直播淚 always made sure that whatever I was doing off the field never affected what I was doing on the field because that was what I loved and what was important to me.香蕉视频直播

His business savvy culminated in , Inter Miami.

香蕉视频直播淚 had the opportunity to play in different countries, move to America, obviously have my own franchise and my own team, become an owner,香蕉视频直播 he said. 香蕉视频直播淪o then once I finished playing, I knew that the moment I finished playing, I could then jump into the business. But, we were working on that a long time before that.香蕉视频直播

Looking back on his career香蕉视频直播檚 highs and lows, it香蕉视频直播檚 natural to wonder: Does Beckham have regrets?

香蕉视频直播淒o I wish things hadn香蕉视频直播檛 happened? Absolutely. Do I wish 香蕉视频直播98 hadn香蕉视频直播檛 happened? Absolutely.香蕉视频直播

But he said he realized it all happened for a reason.

香蕉视频直播淚t made me stronger as a person, as a player, as a human being, and as a father, as a husband,香蕉视频直播 he said. 香蕉视频直播淎nd if that hadn香蕉视频直播檛 have happened, I maybe I wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 have had the career that I had.香蕉视频直播
