The French revolution needs Becks

THANKS FOR ZLAT ... Ibrahimovic celebrates with Beckham and Pastore

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC thinks David Beckham is leading the revolution at Paris Saint-Germain.

The former Manchester United playmaker signed a five-month contract with the club in July and has turned out eight times.
And Ibrahimovic reckons his role in setting an example has been vital as PSG try to turn cash into silverware.
Ibrahimovic said: “I think he has been very important for us.
“Because in the situation that we are in now, the club has been changing from a normal club to a top club, and Beckham gives you some kind of confidence.
“He has the responsibility, on the pitch and off the pitch, to lead the way for these two months which is very important.
“He has a quality, a big quality; he has a touch that I haven’t seen many players have. And he is very elegant when he plays.”
Beckham and Ibrahimovic are the two most high-profile among a number of notable signings PSG have made over the past couple of years following their Qatari takeover.
And Ibrahimovic admits he is glad the ex-England captain is now helping to share the spotlight.
He continued: “I think it’s good for me that Beckham came so he gets more attention than me, so they leave me a little bit alone.
“When I came here everybody said ’don’t worry, as a football player you can walk in the city and nobody will disturb you. Because as a football player here it is not like it is in Italy’.
“But since the day I came here it’s been totally stressful. Everybody is chasing me with their scooters; I don’t even walk in the streets.
“When David came he got more of the media attraction, so that’s good because he takes care of that and I can play football, focus on football.”
