Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho believes that David Beckham is going to be a pivotal asset for the Serie A. AC Milan have signed the veteran midfielder on a three-month loan deal from LA Galaxy starting January. Even though Beckham's move to the Rossoneri stirred a lot of controversy, Mourinho assured that the 33-year-old is a great addition to the Serie A. "To have one like David Beckham is fantastic. I hope he doesn't do very well, because he plays with the enemy," he said. "But I hope he brings a lot of attention with him. He's more than a player, he's something special in the world, not just in the world of sport, and I'm really happy. "Beckham, Ronaldinho and Ibrahimovic - these are the kind of players we need to have in the Italian league to make it again a good commercial product abroad because I think that's the next step. We need to sell better this product."
