Answer:

Please read below.

Explanation:

<u>1. David Beckham</u>

<u><em>David</em></u> will not go down in history as the best player in the world. Not even as one of the top fifty. However, it will be pointed out as one of the richest and most recognizable in the football universe. Part of the fault is his physical; the other part, his wife, and a third, his vision for business.<em><u> David</u></em> is a global figure that since he began his career he knew how to mold his character. His relationship with Victoria Adams, just did the rest and <em><u>David</u></em> went from being a tough Manchester United midfielder to a refined public image. He was, in fact, one of the first to open the way for footballers to become models, a train that some players have climbed.

<em><u>David</u></em> has been retired from football for almost five years and, today, he is not only the best-known English footballer of all time but also the most profitable with an income of 40,000 euros a day reaching the million at the end of the month. His fortune is estimated at around 400 million euros, well above other football stars in his country, such as the national hero Wayne Rooney. While other sports figures disappear after their withdrawal, <em><u>Beckham's</u></em> reign has managed to strengthen and grow more. An example of this is the launch of his own line of House 99 personal hygiene products in collaboration with the French personal care group L'Oréal, consisting of 21 products that can be purchased in more than 20 countries. The name refers to the year he married Victoria, his elder son Brooklyn was born and Manchester United won the Premier League, the cup, and the Champions League. The perfect year indeed!

<u>2. George Best</u>

<em><u>George Best</u></em> was a pure talent forged in the mud of the fields of land in Belfast and in the courtyard of his school, where every rival that came to meet him with a soft feint, always with the ball stuck to his feet. A characteristic of a magical footballer. With a last name that marked him forever. And it is impossible to stay halfway when one is accompanied by the Best next to his name.  The Manchester United myth took everything to the extreme. How was it possible that a thin, and 1.68 tall boy wanted to play rugby? Well, <em><u>Best</u></em> tried until he was fifteen, when he had an argument with his father, who pointed the way. In spite of everything, his relationship with the round ball did not begin as he expected. The team in his neighborhood rejected him because of his fragile physique, unable to adapt to the tough football of Northern Ireland, where the ball spent more time in the air than on the grass.

However, what was nowhere for the team in his neighborhood became the whole for Manchester United. Matt Busby had woven a network of scouts around the islands, looking for new players. Belfast was one of the combed areas, from which nothing was expected. But Busby received a call from his scout. It was eight words. Enough: "I think I've found you a genius."  He wrote his greatness without playing a World Cup or a European Championship. He lived in the dark times of his selection, with which he debuted with 17 years before Welsh. He played a total of 37 games, in which he scored nine goals. But the most remembered was one that was not, before Gordon Banks in a Northern Ireland-England. He passed the ball over Banks and finished off head to door, but the goal was canceled. That goal reflected the indomitable spirit of a soccer player impossible to stop.

<u>3. Zlatan Ibrahimović</u>

Of Bosnian-Croatian descent, born on October 3, 1981,<u> </u><em><u>Ibrahimović</u></em><em> </em>played for a number of clubs, including those in Sweden, the Netherlands. Spain, England, and the United States. On his back he loads a lot of victories and league championships. With more than 100 appearances in the Swedish national team, fifty goals in international matches and a lot of other achievements, <em><u>Zlatan</u></em> is today considered one of the best players in the world.  Like many of the successful people in the world of sports, <em><u>Zlatan</u></em> did not have a very quiet childhood. His parents, he Bosnian and she Croatian, divorced when he was only 2 years old. His school life was defined by rebellion and due to his height, he was abusive to his classmates.  

<u><em>Ibrahimović </em></u>started practicing at the age of 8 on amateur teams. At age 15 he was about to leave football to work at the Malmö docks but was convinced by his agent to continue playing. In 1996 he went to the Malmö youth team and three years later he was promoted to the first team. His debut took place on September 19, 1999 in a visitor-friendly match. Known for his hostility to the media, <em><u>Zlatan</u></em> has a fiery personality off the field, where he has made it clear that he does not suffer from modesty. ‘<em><u>Zlatan</u></em> is God’ is a statement that he often preaches. In what was a very honest and quite funny biography, ‘I am Zlatan Ibrahimovic’, writes about his nasty childhood and his life round football. With a great personality, <em><u>Zlatan</u></em> plays like a monster in the field. The arrogance of which he is often accused is deserved.
