We stay as a team. I might be England captain, but that doesn’t mean I get treated differently.
Meaning of the quote
As the captain of the England team, David Beckham believes that everyone on the team should be treated equally. Even though he is the leader, he doesn't want to be treated better than the other players. He wants the team to work together and support each other, not compete for special treatment.
