『我得到了一些我想要的反應，這個反應就是他可以持續地為他這個位置奮戰，而我也永遠不會關起這扇大門』

McClaren said he liked speedy wingers on either flank and Beckham did not fit into that category. "I wanted to establish a team for 2008 (European Championship). I like width, I like pace and I like penetration," he said.
"We'll do it my way with the players I've picked and I'll live and die by it. I am the head coach and it's my decision at the end of the day."
McClaren has also brought in Steve Round, with whom he worked at Middlesbrough, as a member of his backroom staff.
麥克拉崙提到他喜歡有速度的兩翼，而貝克漢並不符合這個條件
