French club Paris St Germain were reduced to 9 men after David Beckham was sent off just a few minutes after coming on as a substitute. PSG were playing against Evian in the French league and they were leading 1-0 in the match after just 50 min following a goal from Javier Pastore. However, they had defensive midfielder Marco Verratti sent off for a second yellow card. Just when it seemed that things could not get worse for Carlo Ancelotti’s men, Beckham was given a straight red minutes after coming on for a lunge on the Evian player, Youssef Adnane.

After the match, PSG sporting director Leonardo criticised the decision of the referee to give a straight red to Beckham because it was totally unfair. He said that the referee also made several mistakes over the course of the match, but PSG managed to hold on to the victory that has put them one step closer to the title. There was also other dismissals in the match after assistant manager Claude Makelele was sent to the stands as well. Beckham has been at PSG last few months after signing in January on a five month deal. Carlo Ancelotti has been calling for the contract of the former England international to be extended.

“It was always a very tense match. Nobody wanted to lose, especially Evian, who are struggling to stay up. I also believe that our team is really tired at the end of the season,” said Leonardo. As a result of the victory over Evian, PSG have been able to maintain their top position in the league. They are also having a nine-point advantage over second placed Marseille. There are only four games left in the season, which has made PSG the unofficial champions France for the first time.

The former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson has revealed that he will be looking to sign the former England international David Beckham after taking over as the technical advisor of the Middle Eastern club Al Nasr. Sven Goran Eriksson has signed an 18 month contract with the club. Immediately after taking over, he was revealed that he will be looking to bring in the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, and AC Milan midfielder David Beckham. Beckham is currently available on a free transfer after leaving LA Galaxy at the end of the season. He has revealed that he will be taking a decision on his future soon.

There have been no shortage of offers for the 37-year-old despite coming to the end of his career. He has been linked with several high-profile clubs in the world like Monaco and PSG. However, the riches on offer at Al Nasr may be able to persuade the midfielder to join the Middle East club according to Eriksson. He also has good relationships with Beckham after making him the captain while he was the manager of the England national team. Aside from identifying the transfer targets, Eriksson will also be working with the youth teams as well. Eriksson, meanwhile, has said that he has not been working in brief spells just for the money.

“If he wants to come I’m sure they would open the gates for him. I still speak with him, although I don’t know where he will finish up. I can promise you the jobs with Ivory Coast, in Thailand and here are not for the money. Absolutely not. It’s for a love of football, seeing new parts of the world and a new football league,” said the former England manager. Beckham has also been linked with a move to QPR as well.
