 Beckham has struggled to find his form with England and Real Madrid |
David Beckham feels he is running back into form after two seasons when he has failed to produce his best for England. There has been growing pressure on the England captain with some parts of the media clamouring for him to be dropped, but he claims he does not feel it.
"I didn't feel under pressure myself because this is what I love doing - I love playing for England," he said.
"Things do get said about you and that can turn fans, but their support means a lot to me and I hope it continues."
As well as praising the England fans, Beckham also hailed the Real Madrid supporters who have stood by him for 18 months and he feels it is time to repay their faith.
He added: "The last three or four weeks in Madrid have been a lot better for me, a lot more positive.
"I didn't really step back and look at my performances but I just worked harder in training.
"With the new manager at Madrid coming in, he's given all the players a lot of confidence.
"We are playing really good football and that helps any team and any player.
"I'm in a slightly different position. We play a diamond position where I'm slightly out on the right and it's good.
"But I enjoy playing in the middle, I enjoy playing on the right. I can cross balls like I can when I'm on the right but I still feel I'm effective in the middle."
