I think you're absolutely right he wasn't going to be effective as a main striker in a 4-3-3 and they never saw that but what was Inter's loss was Arsenal's gain.
this is so important to me as a footballer. sometimes playing in a shit team makes you think you are shit. when in reality, if you play in a smart team you can look 100times better.
mind you, Inter won the UEFA-cup with Bergkamp en Jonk scoring in almost every round including the final. there's a lot of players or clubs that never once won an European Cup. I remember Dennis' striking partner Balboa being very egoistic and negative.
@@tomasferreira5339 Lol this is such a comment like, what if. You can't change his words for him. He spoke what he thinks. Bergkamp is nr 1 for him. Prime or no prime. And yes Messi is Goat.
@@tomasferreira5339 Off course Messi is the better player. No doubt about it. But as a partner for a striker, maybe Bergkamp was indeed the better partner for Henry. On and off the pitch as well

@@TheJorgeSampaio ZZ is my favourite player, period - and I'm a Liverpool fan. But despite Berbatov not being a "legend of the game" itself, and being more of a mood-player (like Savicevic in AC Milan / Montenegro), he still had ONE thing consistently, and that was the ball control.
Tottenham fan of over 40 years here .. favorite player WAS Glen Hoddle ... until .... Dennis Bergkamp ... Favorite player of all time ... simply brilliant .. He made football look beautiful every time.
Coming from a Newcastle fan that goal against us was so good I had to watch it over and over again and in slow motion just to work out how he actually did it. To this day it is still the best goal I have ever seen.
Newcastle United fan here, that goal against us was that good i would actually be jealous if he had of done it against anyone else. Such a privilege to have conceded such an amazing goal. 👏
@Kevin McGee you are fucking dumb. He clearly said in many interviews he meant to touch the ball that way so it wasn't lucky at all. Put some respect on his name dumbass.
Pretty sure he meant it. He instantly turned and knew exactly where to expect the ball on the other side. Nothing about it seems unintentional, from the movement, where he's looking the whole time, and if it was anyone else you could have an argument, but this man was doing ridiculous touches and things on the pitch every week.
@Kevin McGee think whatever you want buddy, but you're in the 1% who think so, everyone else believes it was intentional so your opinion is kind of irrelevant.
I was always jealous as a Liverpool fan that he was an Arsenal player. Absolutely fabulous footballer and a joy to watch. That goal against Newcastle, to this day, is still my favourite ever goal in PL history. The temerity to even think about doing it. The speed of thought, the touch to take the pace off of a fast ball and to cushion it, set it up with perfect backspin to sit perfectly for him to spin 180 degrees, blind and in the opposite direction, run onto and then open up the body to coolly slot it in is pure magic.
That description, probably the closest I read or heard about that goal... Best part is that is coming from a Pool fan.. BTW, equally feels sorry for u incase they void the season... Klopp and Pool fans deserve that completely. Pool have been 2nd fav team after Arsenal.
I am a United fan, I hate Arsenal, but I would say without any hesitation or doubt , that Dennis Bergkamp, was a truly world class player, who elevated and graced the Premier League. I was always scared when he got the ball against us. Bergkamp, routinely scored goals for club and country that were not only out of this world, but defied belief and description. I was glad and sad when he retired, we were rid of a nemesis but Premier League lost his genius.
This is what I always appreciate so much about the English people. To see fans from arch-rivals from Arsenal giving such respectful comments, even when they lost is something we Dutchmen don't so quick. When Bergkamp scored against us I wasn't happy at all to say it in a decent way. When you're looking back after many years I can only say I was so lucky to see such a an amazing legend playing for Ajax, Inter, Arsenal and the Dutch national team. What a time back then!
Football fans saying they “hate” is the worst. You have a rivalry, you dislike another team but also respect a good team regardless. Hate is what racists people resort to.
I don’t like Arsenal, I’m not Dutch, but Dennis Bergkamp will always be one of my favourite ever players. A genius, years ahead of his time. One of the best I’ve ever seen in the Premier League
The most intelligent, technical and elegant player of his generation. Big thank you to Arsenal for bringing him to England, giving him a second home and a grand stage for showcasing his talents.
Undoubtedly the best player to wear an Arsenal shirt. And Wrighty and Henry both said that it was a privilege to play with him. Thank you, Dennis, for so many happy memories. It was a privilege to have you at Arsenal.
chelsea fans since 1997 here... he is one of the most skillful player in EPL i've ever seen, if not the most skillful... and he is a player people can't hate even for rival team fans...
God imagine if we could sign a 25 year old Bergkamp today. What an absolute genius unique artistic player he was. He would cost £200m today. A Dutch Master on par with Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh.
Literally the player that made me as a 7year old fall in love with Arsenal and the beautiful game... the fact that he scored so many as a skillful number 10 should show what an asset he was to the team... COYG!!
I was 10 when Arsenal did the 97/98 campaign. It's my first year of liking football. Since media always talk about MU, at first I also attracted to them. But lo, even as a kid I can't deny the greatness of Bergkamp and Arsenal. Hell with media, Chelsea vs Arsenal (2-3) game made me fall in love with Bergkamp and Wenger's Arsenal till his resignation
Mate. Trust me, I was 17 when he signed it was truly an amazing moment. Far more significant than when Ozil, Aubameyang or anyone else ‘big’ has signed since.
That goal vs Argentina in the '98 world cup was just insane. To bring down such a long ball so softly then cut it back vs the defender and basically poke it with the outside of his right foot into the far corner... just brilliant! I believe the announcer said "Dennis Bergkamp" 20 times after the ball went in lol
I'll never forget that moment in 98. One of the most emotional moments in football in all my life. I had already given up hope and seeing this evolve in front of my eyes was just out of this world. What made this even better was the announcer sort of announcing this goal during the attack. It was a delight seeing Bergkamp play. To me he's truly one of the greatest of all time.
Even here in England we were going crazy for that goal! Pure class, pure drama! Plus it was against the Argies!😉😁😂 What a player Bergkamp was, a true poet on the pitch!👏👏
I repeat; no player has ever been more skilled and artistic than Iceman. Overview, timing, originality, physics, speed, passing, dribling, headers, longshots - you name it; he had it.
Chelsea fan my whole life and I love to hate the deluded gooners. However, Bergkamp is one of my favourite players of all time. He played the game how it should be played. Reading his autobiography as well was very interesting, you could tell how intelligent he was as a person and footballer. That goal against Newcastle can never be beaten in my eyes, sublime touch and turn
The time he played at Arsenal and during the '98 World Cup, he was like an idol for me... and I am german!! :D I'll never forget watching his goal vs. Argentina that World Cup, legendary!!
what a player. his first touch was the best ive ever seen he could pluck the ball out of mid air and stop it dead still. he was the most comfortable football player on the ball ive ever seen.
Bergkamp was so classy, composed and clever. His first touch was one of the best of all time and he struck the ball with so much technique no matter whether it was a pass or shot. Great Player.
Fantastic player and one of the most technically gifted footballers I've ever seen. Arsenal in the late 90's and early 2000's were a joy to watch, especially when Bergkamp and Henry were on form...
As a Man City Fan myself and someone who has followed football since the late eighties. I must say Dennis.B will go down as one the greatest player i ha e ever seen play the game. Simply sublime to watch and till this i have not seen anyone to compare him to. This guy was in a league of his own.
I remember Dennis in his Ajax times as an unstoppable chipshot machine. Bit as in the likes of Robben with his standard move and goals. This was the Bergkamp goal. Later on in his carreer he became more diverse. Extraordinary player.
I watched a video of the Arsenal team of Bergkamp's era last week - a group of players were celebrating a goal and I was astonished at the names involved in the celebration; I'd forgotten what a brilliant group that was.... Bergkamp, Henry, Vieira, Pires, Campbell, Gilberto, Reyes, Cole, Lauren - that's more than a nucleus for a World Cup winning team! Such a huge amount of talent in that team.
One of purest technicians in the history of the game. Denis needed the English game, its spirit, just like we needed him. He took our game to another level.
The greatest two touches in football history, left foot spin, right foot goal, i was there up the other end with the rest of the Arsenal fans and none of us including me knew how he did what he did. Some so called expert pundits suggested at the time it was luck but now they all agree it was a defining moment of artistry in football. So glad i was there. Thank you Dennis for all the great memories, me and i am sure all Arsenal fans will never ever forget you.
Such an elegant player, even though I wasn't born in that time, the highlight reels and the amount of great players who praise him shows that he was magnificent
Just got him in PES yesterday and man is he a legend! So many golden memories from the late 90s and early 2000s. I have never been a big fan of Arsenal but Bergkamp was still something else, a true magician with the ball. And that '98 World Cup, Holland was so fun to watch thanks to him and many many other skilled players.
Against Newcastle when the pass comes in i get chills, when Bergkamp makes the touch i get emotional. Dont exactly know why but this goal just stirs something up in me. Great player
same... i felt myself becoming emotional watching something of that level of greatness. I've seen it many times, but I don't think it'll ever change. If you are ever in a drag and need something inspiring, something to make you feel. And you need it quickly? watch that goal with some good music under the commentary.
I grew up with Bergkamp, I am an Ajax fan and i am Dutch. He was one of the greatest for us Dutch. The goal against Argentina on tthe WC in the US. That era of the Dutch should have earned a WC title. Bergkamp is also afraid of flying. But he was the best creative player I have ever witnessed, the flegmatic moves, the intelligence, the beauty. And, like Cruyff, he made it look simple.
While most rave about Bergkamps's goal against Newcastle,his reception,retainment and lobbed delivery against Bayer Leverkusen in Feb 2002 Epitomises Denis's unrivalled mastery more so,his 1999 display at filbert street was sublime,especially the goal from the short corner,his collection in the WC from Frank De Boer's long ball to kill the Argies at 89 mins was pure magic(As an Englishman that one was particularly satisfying,given the opponent😁).,so many moments, so many magic touches. The only player ever that made me shed a tear upon his retirement. We were truly privileged.
He wasn't just brilliant--he was uniquely brilliant. It was a feast for the eyes and the senses. We see great players and great goals, but we know there will only ever be one Dennis Bergkamp. To compare players to him isnt fair on them or him. He was a work of art.
His technical ability was way ahead of most in the mid/late 90's. Wonderful player to watch. Right up there with Zola as one of the best overseas players to come to the premier league at the time. I'd have paid to watch both
Way ahead? There were MANY players who were technically gifted in that time frame buddy. If Bergkamp was around today, Id agree. But not back then, too many legends.
Made 'boring' Arsenal into 'swinging' Arsenal, once The Invincibles, looking back it's very sadly too see for such a big club they're way far from that for many years now.
as a german guy who likes spurs, i still have to say that he's without a doubt one of the greatest and most graceful players in the history of football. everytime he touched the ball something absolutely beautiful happened
What I really like about Bergkamp was that he danced with the ball, a very elegant playing style that made it enjoyable to watch him play. Also his insight and intellect was very good.
Last time I flew in 2001 I was soooooo traumatized that I got thoroughly searched at Tenerife because I was acting so weird but I was just grateful to be on Terra Firma. Had flown 40 times b4 and hated every minute...
This man was a genius with the ball. The touch of a maestro and so, so intelligent. He scored my favourite goal of all time against Argentina. The control, touch to take it away from the defender and then finally smash it beyond the keeper. Watching that live, he just did it all before your brain could compute what he'd done. And then you were just left flabbergasted. Should also be pointed out, he was terrified of flying and this led to him missing many European nights with Arsenal. A tragedy for any football lover.
How good was Dennis Bergkamp? Just constantly repeat that goal against Newcastle. That's how good he was. An absolute privilege to see play - wonderful footballer.
I'm a BIG Bergkamp fan, and I got 6 arsenal shirts with Bergkamp's name, what a LEGEND he was he should have been 3 or 4 times ballon d'or, man I miss him and there is only one Bergkamp.
Dennis Bergkamp was one of the most technical and smartest players I have ever seen. Amazing player, for sure. For me, personally, the best Dutch player of all times.
MARADONA...RONALDO9...BERGKAMP...HENRY...MESSI...I would say Diego the greatest...but the others are in no particular order...these 5 players are the only one's i have ever got up to and clapped..just my opinion that's all
Watching his goals still gives me goosebumps even after all these years. I wonder if Dutch football will ever again bring such a multi talented player as Dennis Bergkamp. A true icon of the game.
Bergkamp didn't lack form at Inter.
Inter lacked tactical vision.
It's basically asking Gandalf to make balloon animals.
Pretty sure Gandalf would rock at that tho
I think you're absolutely right he wasn't going to be effective as a main striker in a 4-3-3 and they never saw that but what was Inter's loss was Arsenal's gain.

so thats what happen to sanchez at man utd.or basically any other player.they are good in something but the manager just need to sort it out for them.
As a West Ham fan, I hate Arsenal. But hating Bergkamp? Impossible. He's one of the best I've ever seen.
Spurs fan ... and same , quality and magic on the pitch as much as it makes my typing fingers turn black and drop off to type it .
Im an Arsenal fan and I really like West Ham :(
@ItzYourBoiAry __X lol you obviously do or you wouldnt still respond all aggressively 🤣🤣🤣
Birmingham fan, agree hate arsenal love Bergkamp
If you're a football fan you can't not like Bergkamp. Unbelievable player and he helped elevate the Premier League.
How am I going to explain to my children that Michael Owen, Pavel Nedved, and Shevchenko won the Ballon D'or but Dennis Bergkamp didn't?
Please dont bring Nedved in the list. He deserved it.
@@Sh1ro_Yaksha Great player. Not as great as Henry or Maldini in 03

Bergkamp achieved a unique feat, he not only won a goal of the month award, he was first second and third. Amazing

Hard disagree, he was beloved massively at the time.

World class, supreme master of his art. In a class of his own.

I grew up with Bergkamp, I am an Ajax fan and i am Dutch. He was one of the greatest for us Dutch. The goal against Argentina on tthe WC in the US. That era of the Dutch should have earned a WC title. Bergkamp is also afraid of flying.
But he was the best creative player I have ever witnessed, the flegmatic moves, the intelligence, the beauty. And, like Cruyff, he made it look simple.
Was that goal against ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 REALLY IN THE USA 🇺🇸⁉️⁉️⁉️
While most rave about Bergkamps's goal against Newcastle,his reception,retainment and lobbed delivery against Bayer Leverkusen in Feb 2002 Epitomises Denis's unrivalled mastery more so,his 1999 display at filbert street was sublime,especially the goal from the short corner,his collection in the WC from Frank De Boer's long ball to kill the Argies at 89 mins was pure magic(As an Englishman that one was particularly satisfying,given the opponent😁).,so many moments, so many magic touches. The only player ever that made me shed a tear upon his retirement. We were truly privileged.
This channel is gonna grow so much. Content is really well made.
He wasn't just brilliant--he was uniquely brilliant. It was a feast for the eyes and the senses. We see great players and great goals, but we know there will only ever be one Dennis Bergkamp. To compare players to him isnt fair on them or him. He was a work of art.
His technical ability was way ahead of most in the mid/late 90's. Wonderful player to watch. Right up there with Zola as one of the best overseas players to come to the premier league at the time. I'd have paid to watch both
Way ahead? There were MANY players who were technically gifted in that time frame buddy. If Bergkamp was around today, Id agree. But not back then, too many legends.
His goal against Argentina at the 98' world cup is the best goal ever scored.
Bergkamp is the definition of class. One of my favourite footballers ever.
Bergkamp and Henry, the deadliest partnership the premier league has ever seen.
Eh...ever heard of Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush for Liverpool, ca 1986?
@@robhendrikx2198 he said premier league
*The world has ever seen
Made 'boring' Arsenal into 'swinging' Arsenal, once The Invincibles, looking back it's very sadly too see for such a big club they're way far from that for many years now.
I agree fully. What a duo
as a german guy who likes spurs, i still have to say that he's without a doubt one of the greatest and most graceful players in the history of football. everytime he touched the ball something absolutely beautiful happened
Bergkamp and Henry left Arsenal in close succession , they were never the same afterwards. I miss them both !
Easily the classiest player to have ever played in the premier league.
@RShCovers 😂😂😂😂
@RShCovers Good luck typing "Paul Scholes" faster than he slides into players without hitting the ball.
@RShCovers there is nothing classy about scholes
Henry
@@larry2306 are you kiding boy 😂
You couldn‘t put it in words, just how good Dennis was. He was a gem.
What I really like about Bergkamp was that he danced with the ball, a very elegant playing style that made it enjoyable to watch him play. Also his insight and intellect was very good.
Dennis Bergkamp was an Artist in the spirit of Johan Cruijff. True football is Art.
My favorite player of all time. The ice man, the non-flying Dutchman
The floating Dutchman.
He actually hated flying(I.e. in an aeroplane) so he is literally a non flying 😁
Kakivi Yepthomi his fear of flying screwed us several times in Europe...
THAT was the joke from Chris, my friend...
Last time I flew in 2001 I was soooooo traumatized that I got thoroughly searched at Tenerife because I was acting so weird but I was just grateful to be on Terra Firma. Had flown 40 times b4 and hated every minute...
This man was a genius with the ball. The touch of a maestro and so, so intelligent. He scored my favourite goal of all time against Argentina. The control, touch to take it away from the defender and then finally smash it beyond the keeper. Watching that live, he just did it all before your brain could compute what he'd done. And then you were just left flabbergasted.
Should also be pointed out, he was terrified of flying and this led to him missing many European nights with Arsenal. A tragedy for any football lover.
One of the best players of the Premier League era. The guy was pure class with nerves of ice.
Complete legend, how did he not win Ballon D’or? Thank for choosing and staying loyal to the gunners. Favourite player of all time! 👍
Long story short he was a beast
Bergkamp quality and Arsenal play stlye back in the day,
was something that made u fall in love with football.
Pure genius, you cannot describe how if you love and appreciate football, players like Dennis and Zola were sublime.
How good was Dennis Bergkamp? Just constantly repeat that goal against Newcastle. That's how good he was. An absolute privilege to see play - wonderful footballer.
He was absolutely brilliant!!
Been a Manu fan over 25 years. My God do I miss watching Bergkamp play. Wish he signed for Manu instead of Arsenal. How did we miss him?
I'm a BIG Bergkamp fan, and I got 6 arsenal shirts with Bergkamp's name, what a LEGEND he was he should have been 3 or 4 times ballon d'or, man I miss him and there is only one Bergkamp.
Dennis Bergkamp was one of the most technical and smartest players I have ever seen. Amazing player, for sure. For me, personally, the best Dutch player of all times.
My all time favorite... He was so good and made others around him in the field (look) even better!
A footballing genius, my favourite player. Nothing compares to Dennis for sure.
Dennis bergkamp is the reason why i like football as a kid and become arsenal fans till today
Bergkamp and Zidane are the only players that were so special, they can't be recreated in a video game. You just can't play like them
Not to sure about that one bergkamp is unbelievable on new pes21 his rating is 99 out of 100 and he move exactly like he did in real life
@@8yogibear yes he feels unique
Bergkamp >>>>> Zidane baloon
@@flintmcgerty He's not on the same level as the other 2.
MARADONA...RONALDO9...BERGKAMP...HENRY...MESSI...I would say Diego the greatest...but the others are in no particular order...these 5 players are the only one's i have ever got up to and clapped..just my opinion that's all
The Frankie De Boer pass to Dennis during the World Cup game in 1998 v Argentina was a pass and a goal of wonder
For me Bergkamp is one of the greatest players to ever play football Bergkamp is the hole reason why we call football the buetifull game.
His passing was incredible, angle, curl ,weight and vision
I get shivers down my spine every time I watch that goal against Newcastle. Hands down the best goal I've ever seen.
Newcastle ;p
@@dimrrider9133 haha, thanks, I must have been drunk when I wrote this! Still love the goal though!
One of the greats! Once lauded by Thierry Henry as the best player he’d ever played WITH, even, to that point in time, ahead of Messi.
One of the most underrated ever
Watching his goals still gives me goosebumps even after all these years. I wonder if Dutch football will ever again bring such a multi talented player as Dennis Bergkamp. A true icon of the game.
He did things other players couldn't imagine. He was the first of the mega players to come to us and drew others after him.
This is incisive and thoughtfully constructed, much like a Bergkamp pass. Excellent work.
I was on the phone with my father when Bergkamp scored against Argentina, will never forget this moment.
That goal against newscastle was a delight. Such a great Dutchman. I love you Dennis
The goal against Newcastle was complete genius
