EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — David Beckham says Los Angeles Galaxy teammate Landon Donovan is unprofessional for speaking out without confronting him first.

Beckham, who was making his first public appearance in Southern California since returning from his five-month loan with Italian club AC Milan, says he has not spoken to Donovan, who called him a bad captain and portrayed him as stingy in an upcoming book "The Beckham Experiment," written by Grant Wahl.

Beckham joined former France star Zinedine Zidane in El Segundo to help the MLS kick off its footprint fields community program, which will help develop new turf soccer fields across the country.

The book is due out on July 14.
