“Yes, Beckham will start in the position of (suspended midfielder) Marco Verratti,” Ancelotti told reporters before today’s game. “It’s an important position. Beckham must help make the play and defensively have a good tactical position on the pitch. Can he still take corners and freekicks? He has the quality to do so. Beckham can play a whole match, he has the quality to play in the middle of the park.”
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star earned his spurs in a cameo debut appearance from the bench at the weekend, setting up the second goal in a 2-0 win over Marseille in the league which left the capital club three points clear in the title race.
