Alexi Lalas says Romeo Beckham won't have it easy in the soccer league just because his dad is David Beckham!
's 19-year-old son just signed with Fort Lauderdale CF over the weekend ... the sister club to Inter Miami CF, which the soccer icon co-owns.
We spoke with Lalas shortly after the signing ... and he's giving props to the kid for taking on the challenge of following in David's footsteps.But, AL says Romeo's probably not even concerned about living up to the pressure ... adding,"I don't think he's worried about that. I certainly don't think his father's worried about that."Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Lalas says the Beckham last name will provide more opportunities for him ... but will also undoubtedly make certain things harder as well. "It opens doors for you but it also can provide some barriers for you so as long as he appreciates the opportunity he has and does the work, I'm all for it.""We all have our different opportunities and our different privileges and our different advantages in life. That's just the way life is. Life isn't fair and soccer isn't fair but it's what you do with 'em and, obviously, you have to appreciate him and respect him.
"I think he recognized that some doors may have been opened for him but they only stay open so long. If you don't have the chops, they'll kick your ass right out."
