“WEDNESDAY NOV 28

Hello from Australia,

I├óΓé¼Γäóm really happy to have finally made it over – the people have been amazing and I├óΓé¼Γäóve been made to feel really welcome. I├óΓé¼Γäóve always wanted to visit Australia as well as New Zealand, which I├óΓé¼Γäóm off to on Thursday, so it├óΓé¼Γäós a great feeling to be here.

I├óΓé¼Γäóm writing this to you the day after our game against Sydney FC. It was disappointing to lose the match even though it was a friendly, as I always want to win, but I was pleased to play the full game and of course, score a goal. I practice free kicks enough, so it├óΓé¼Γäós always a great feeling when they go in.

The atmosphere in the Telstra Stadium was amazing and it was a really entertaining match for the 80,000 fans. We really enjoyed playing, despite the result, and now look forward to the game against Wellington Phoenix on Saturday.

I was a bit worried when I went over on my ankle. I thought it might be the same injury I├óΓé¼Γäód had for Real Madrid on the last day of the season, but I managed to play on and finish the game ok, so thankfully it wasn├óΓé¼Γäót that bad.

This Thursday is also the 2nd anniversary of The David Beckham Academy in the UK. I went along to the Academy last week, and you├óΓé¼Γäóll be able to see my video footage of the day on davidbeckham.com later this week. But as I├óΓé¼Γäóm in Australia at the moment I can├óΓé¼Γäót be there on Thursday, so I would just like to say thanks to all the coaches and staff for their hard work over the past two years and also a big thank you to all the children that have visited and enjoyed the Academy.

That├óΓé¼Γäós all for now. I├óΓé¼Γäóll let you know how New Zealand goes.

David”
