Berlusconi happy with Beckham debut
Italian Prime Minister and former club chairman Silvio Berlusconi said he was impressed with the AC debut of David Beckham, seen here on January 11, 2008.
ROME (AFP) - David Beckham's AC Milan debut impressed Italian Prime Minister and former club chairman Silvio Berlusconi.
"David Beckham impressed me a lot - he showed great professionalism and modesty," the Ansa news agency on Tuesday quoted Berlusconi as saying.
Beckham produced a workmanlike debut for the club in the 2-2 weekend draw at AS Roma after the former Manchester United and Real Madrid veteran made a surprise start following his loan from LA Galaxy.
The England midfielder was also widely praised by the club hierarchy as well as his teammates.
