Romeo Beckham is quietly making a name for himself in MLS Next Pro. It’s quiet because his father David's club, Inter Miami, seems to want to keep it that way. More on Romeo's emergence with Inter Miami II (albeit from afar). 📚 FelipeCar
to speak to Romeo were turned down by Inter Miami which, in this case, worked directly with Beckham’s communications team. A request to interview Inter Miami II’s English manager, Darren Powell, was also denied, because the request was aimed at talking about one specific player.
But beyond the questions and careful handling are some favorable statistics that seem to be going under the radar. He has gradually improved since his first season, in which he made just six appearances and didn’t record an assist or a goal. He was eager from the start though, showing a willingness to press high from his right wing position and track back to defend.
Despite a pass accuracy of just 63.6 percent, Romeo is Inter Miami II’s leader in key passes with 23 and he’s fourth in the league in total crosses . The right-footed Romeo is a technically sound player with a decent first touch, good vision and composure when he’s on the ball. He has produced 16 total scoring attempts and five on-target scoring attempts.
“Basically, look, I don’t like singling out individual players, but Romeo is improving a lot,” Powell told reporters in April. “What you find is a young man that comes and is committed to getting better every day, and now you’re seeing some of the benefits of that work. When you work hard daily in training and you work at your game and you progress going forward, which is what obviously his ambition is to do, you’re going to see that. Just really pleased with him.
The level of MLS Next Pro isn’t anywhere near what an FA Youth Cup can deliver, for example. Plus, while father David’s path was clearly laid out ahead of him at 19, Romeo’s footballing goals and aspirations remain a bit of a mystery. Is Inter Miami a temporary stop before he focuses on something new, or is he on a path toward first-team football in MLS?
