Beckham wont play just practice for Real Madrid.
LOS ANGELES - Victoria Beckham, the former pop star princess and soccer great David Beckham's wife, arrived Saturday in Los Angeles, two days after her husband agreed to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy in Major Soccer League.
Victoria Beckham landed at Los Angeles International Airport aboard a British Airways flight from London shortly after 3 p.m. local time.
The LA Galaxy and David Beckham agreed earlier this week to a five-year deal believed to be worth about $10 million a year. He is expected to join the team in August.
In Madrid, Real coach Fabio Capello said at a news conference Saturday that Beckham won't play again for the European power. "He will practice, but he is not going to play," Capello said.
Beckham's contract with Real Madrid expires in June. The 31-year-old player would "continue to give his full commitment and professionalism to the club," Beckham spokesman Simon Oliveira said.
"David is surprised at the quotes from Fabio Capello, as nobody from the club has informed him of their intentions," Oliveira added. "As far as David is aware, he has a contract for the remainder of the season and he remains dedicated to the club and its supporters."

The Galaxy opened their stadium, the Home Depot Center on June 7. But in order for their home to be ready, the team had to play a record 8 games to start the season and failed to win a game. In fact, the Galaxy finish the season without a win away from home the whole season. After the season's final game, the Galaxy had the final playoff spot in the West. In their aggregate series with the Earthquakes, they seemed well on to vindication for the MLS Cup loss 2 years earlier as they held 4 goals to 0 lead midway through the 2 nd game. A thing happened as the Earthquakes scored four unanswered goals to force a tiebreaker. In that session, the Earthquakes' Rodrigo Farina score to send the Quakes onto the next round.
In 2004 Looking to return to the top, the Galaxy would go through a mediocre 1 st half of the season before 3 straight wins over the summer. But from July 14 on, the Galaxy won only 2 more games, one in September and one in October. The Galaxy had a record of 11-9-10, good enough for 2nd in the West and the playoff, remaining the only club in MLS to have a playoff spot in every year of league in the playoffs, the Galaxy withstood an early challenge from the Rapids to win the aggregate goal series, 2-1, scoring 2 times in Game 2. In the conference final, the Galaxy's season would come to an end in Kansas with a 2-0 loss to Arnaud and the Wizards.
