Balague recounted how David Beckham felt misunderstood and unfairly treated by Capello. He added that Beckham’s decision to leave Real Madrid was not a sign of unprofessionalism but rather a carefully considered choice based on personal circumstances.

“David couldn’t understand some of the conversations that happened between Fabian and him. It just drove him mad. He actually left because he felt it was the right time and there were a lot of reasons for it,” Balague stated.

Balague confessed that he felt compelled to publish stories about Beckham’s situation at Real Madrid. He added that Fabio Capello warned David Beckham after the media got involved in the cold war. “I used some of that stuff to tell people about how unfair he [Capello] was being to David. Fabio went to him the next day and said, ‘David, in that meeting, it was only you and me, and I did not tell that story, so it was you. You do it again and you’re out!’” Balague added.
