David Beckham insists he is happy to stay in the shadows for England if it means Fabio Capello’s team qualify for the 2010 World Cup.
“I want to be part of the squad, part of these qualifiers and, hopefully, part of the team at the World Cup,” Beckham said.
“If that means me coming on as sub or just even part of the squad, then I would be happy with that. I don’t care whether I play or whether I don’t.
“Of course I love to play for England but the much bigger thing is England winning and England qualifying.
“Whether I play is immaterial - it’s about the team, about the squad. If I can carry on getting caps, getting on the field and helping the team in any way then I’ll be happy.
“I would be happy going home having not even got off the bench. I’m in the squad, in the manager’s mind and I’m there to support the team. I’m an England fan.”
