David Beckham, fresh off a few months of training with Tottenham Hotspur F.C., returned to the Los Angeles Galaxy this week as the team camp continued.

“My main objective was to get fit for the Galaxy and for the MLS season," Beckham said after training. "My main objective wasn’t to play for a Premiership team. Even if I would have been on loan, even if I would have played the games, this is the time I was always going to come back.”

No loans were in the horizons for the the 35-year-old Beckham, who chose to emphasize his match fitness ahead of the 2011 Major League Soccer campaign.

“If there was an option to play, I was going to take it," Beckham said. "But without a doubt, I 100 percent wanted to go somewhere and train and not take the three months and just sit around doing nothing. At this stage of my career and especially after the injury I had, I realized it was more important to train than to sit on a beach.

“Speaking with Bruce and speaking at the level that the players came back at at the end of January, it was sensible to continue the program I was doing at Spurs—only missing out on a few weeks with the lads here. It was just important for my fitness and for my level that I continue there and come back fitter than I was last season.”

The Galaxy's late 2010 run to the Western Conference Championship and the Supporters Shield title had a preseason feel rather than a postseason feel for Beckham.

“Especially coming back from the injury, it was even more important to go somewhere and keep fit,” Beckham said. “Any Premiership team—especially a Premiership team in the top four—the quality and the intensity of their training was going to be good for me.”

The Galaxy kick off the 2011 MLS season on Mar. 15 against the Seattle Sounders.
