Redknapp: Pierce has to forget about chivalry once he did not take Beckham

7.07.2012

Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp made ​​an interesting assessment of the decision of Stuart Pearce, who did not include David Beckham in Olympic soccer team in Britain. According to Redknapp because of this act the coach of the team "can say goodbye to chivalry." However, the English expert Pierce praised the courage to choose the composition that is wanted.

Beckham is hoping to be one of three players over 23 years in the team and ended up in the extensions list. Yesterday, however, the experienced midfielder revealed that he is not selected, as Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy and Micah Richards have been preferred to him

"Without a doubt Stewart has disappointed some people in high places. They would be happy to see Becks in London. I am surprised and I'm sad that he will not play, "said Redknapp. "Stewart can say goodbye with hope to be knighted, but he deserves praise for his bravery. He is the manager and must be able to choose anyone that he wants. "

Former England international Danny Mills openly attacked Pierce, accusing him that can not deal with the big players in the locker room. "A great shame is that he (Beckham) will not be there. Stuart Pearce has never liked confrontation, and has never been direct with large players. Maybe he decided that Beckham will bring more things than are in his power, "said Mills.
