LOS ANGELES:
Los Angeles Galaxy star David Beckham says it is a “dream” of his to play for Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho. Beckham spent four years with Madrid beginning in 2003. He will lead his Major League Soccer team against Real Madrid in an exhibition contest on Saturday at the Los Angeles Coliseum. It will be the first time Beckham has played against his former team since he left in 2007. Mourinho is the reigning Fifa coach of the year. He guided Madrid to a second place finish in the Spanish league and a Copa del Rey title over Barcelona.
