David Beckham has been hailed by LA Galaxy team mate Landon Donovan for his contribution towards getting the side into the MLS play-off race after their 2-1 victory over New England at the weekend.
The American striker, who last month called Beckham a bad captain and portrayed him as stingy in an upcoming book called "The Beckham Experiment", insists there is no longer any issue between the two of them and says he has been impressed by the former England captain's attitude since he returned from a loan spell at AC Milan.
"David's been great since he's been back, in every way," Donovan said. "He's added something off the field to the group and his qualities on the field make us a lot better.
"Regarding the book, no one wants to hear those kind of things about them, especially like that. David's taken it like a man and has moved on from it."
Meanwhile, Beckham has spoken out against those who criticise the fact that substitute appearances for England have counted towards him becoming the country's most capped outfield player.
Adamant he is worthy of the accolades he has been given, the 34-year-old said. "It amazes me. Have they never heard of substitutes? My critics talk about 'cheap' caps and about only coming on for a few minutes at the end in some games. I know it upsets some people.
"But let's get it right. I have started 100 games for England, and that's a milestone in itself. So I don't listen to those critics. What does matter to me is the reaction of the fans."
