MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - English soccer captain David Beckham may be a hero to millions of fans worldwide, but for Brazilian soccer legend Pele he is more a pop star than an athlete.
"The problem with Beckham is that he married the most famous Spice Girl and now he is more of a pop star than a soccer player," Pele told reporters on Thursday during a visit to Mexico City to promote the impotence drug Viagra .
"Football today is also entertainment and people want players to be stars rather than footballers," Pele added.
:lol:
