the nice free kick of Romeo Beckham with the reserve of Inter Miami
For his first goal in MLS Next Pro, Romeo Beckham imitated his dad. David’s son netted a powerful free-kick in a 3-1 victory for his father-owned Inter Miami reserve team against Orlando City reserve team on Sunday.
David Beckham has become world famous – in addition to his marriage to Victoria – for his superb stroke on the set phases. And it seems that his son Romeo produced some. The current Inter Miami reserve player surprised everyone with his fearsome free kick in the style of his father.
A first but in professional
In the dying moments of an MLS Next Pro match – MLS Club Reserves Championship – against B team Orlando City, the 19-year-old took on a free kick from 25 yards . A perfect kick, which allows the ball to bounce just at the entrance to the goal and makes it almost impossible for the goalkeeper to stop.
Already the author of seven assists this season, Romeo Beckham scored his very first as a professional with this free kick. “It seems that we have already seen that”, was also amused the commentator when he saw the ball end up in the back of the net. This but made it possible to conclude a beautiful 3-1 comeback for Inter Miami II.
On social networks, David Beckham showed his support for his son’s performance: “Well done my friend, I’m so proud, wrote the former Manchester United star. First but in the Miami jersey.” Romeo responded with, “I love you daddy, that was for you.”
Recall that Beckham Sr holds the Premier League free-kick record with 18 (although James Ward-Prowse is close behind with 14), and he scored a famous last-minute free-kick for the England against Greece to help the Three Lions qualify for the 2002 World Cup.
14 games played out of a possible 15 this season
It’s the second time Romeo has made headlines this season, having provided three assists in a single game last April. Beckham Junior did not return to football until 2021, after a five-year absence, preferring tennis for a time. He then joined Inter Miami, a club owned by his father.
He has made 14 out of a possible 15 appearances for Miami II this season in the MLS Next Pro League, missing just one game. The club currently sit in fifth place after mixed results. In the United States, some hope to finally see one of the Beckham sons succeed in football, while Romeo is now the only one to follow in his father’s footsteps.
