" Bergkamp! " Bergkamp! Bergkamp! "When you think of Bergkamp, you can naturally think of his wonderful performance at the 1998 World Cup and the classic cry of the commentator. Take a leisurely stroll, lift a heavy weight! The "Ice Prince" Bergkamp told us that football can be such an art. Brilliant passing, sharp passing, clever shots, always full of imagination, football comes in many forms, but at the feet of Bergkamp, football is like a dance. Bergkamp is not perfect, he is introverted, afraid to fly, cold and reluctant to approach, but Bergkamp is such a harsh perfectionist, when the football is at his feet, it is like a lifetime. He is harry potter on the green field, because his face resembles that of a German, who is cold, unsmiling but quite handsome, so he has won the reputation of the "Ice Prince".
He's not a prolific goalscorer, and even many fans may have forgotten about the ice prince, but his goal spectacle is an absolute legend in the Premier League. The most exciting goal in the official Premier League was Xiao Bei's half-time long-range hanging shot, followed by Lu Xiaochuan's barb kill, and the second place in the two times was the Ice Prince's imaginative shot against Newcastle. (Arsenal scored in the 2-0 away win over Newcastle in that match.) After receiving a pass from Piré, Bergkamp completed the four-seat "Bergkamp Turn", broke through the defense of Dabisas, and easily sent the ball into the gate guarded by Givin. The first thing in most fans' minds should be Bergkamp's winning goal scored in the quarter-finals of the 1998 Fifacé in France [50-yard long pass easily unloaded the ball with the instep of his right foot and deftly volleyed his right foot past the opposing defender, and when facing the Argentine goalkeeper, Bergkamp popped a curved ball with the outside of his right foot at a very small angle, and the ball just right past the goalkeeper drilled into the far corner of the goal. This goal is also considered one of the most exciting goals in world cup history]. Wenger once said that Bergkamp's running position had an aristocratic elegance. Vieira added that to pass a ball like his, you need to be perfect in everything. I wouldn't be surprised if the clothes in Bergkamp's home were meticulously laid out.
Dennis Bergkamp (born 10 May 1969 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands), was scouted by Ajax at the age of 11 and joined his youth army training. He made his debut for the team in 1986 and for the Dutch national football team in 1987. Joining Inter Milan in 1993 was less than satisfactory. In 1995 Bergkamp moved to English Premier League club Arsenal. Bergkamp had a fear of flying, so he was nicknamed the "flyless Dutchman" by Arsenal fans. Not flying was a fatal flaw in Bergkamp, and it was the result that several races were missed, and in fact there was a reason why Bergkamp did not fly: in 1998, when the Spanish National Youth Team went to register for the Suriname competition, the flight on which the Bergkamp staff was travelling was killed due to the crash, and he also developed a fear of flying. Bergkamp rarely spoke, used to go home immediately after the game, and was understood by the media as cold to people, but people always felt that the wise player had something to say. That's his charm, a charm that can't be described in words, and the taciturn Bergkamp heralds a new Arsenal, and even a new Premier League era, and Bergkamp eventually becomes one of those "invincible" Arsenals.
A year after Bergkamp's arrival, the Frenchman, Alsenne Wenger, also arrived, along with Henry, King of Highbury. The 2001/2002 season marked the beginning of The Golden Age of Arsenal under Wenger. Many felt that season was Arsenal's best moment in the last 20 years, even more impressive than the unbeaten season that followed. Bergkamp is the creator, he has a wealth of experience in the game to constantly create offensive opportunities for Henry, and accepting the opportunities created by Bergkamp is also a natural thing for Henry. Together, they helped the Gunners regain the Premier League + FA Cup in 2001–02, helped Arsenal win the league and FA Cup doubles in 2002, then won two FA Cups (2003 and 2005) and his third Premier League title (2005), and from May 2003 to October 2004, Arsenal remained unbeaten in 49 league games and is still considered the best team in England's history. Bergkamp and Henry were Arsenal's amulets that season. Although Henry became the more important member of the duo at this time, Bergkamp still had a crucial position, and in the next two seasons, Bergkamp gradually handed over his baton to another Dutch player, Van Persie. In the final game of the 2004/2005 season, Arsenal beat Everton 7-0, and Bergkamp's three passes and one shot in this game are memorable.
At the end of the 2004–05 season, thanks to Bergkamp's outstanding performances in the season (13 assists in the league), arsenal executives offered him a new one-year contract. Three league titles, Bergkamp still left regrets in the top of the Champions League, in the 2005-06 Arsenal and Barca division final, the "Ice Prince" did not get the start or even the opportunity to play, can only watch the team lose 1-2, and rub shoulders with the Big Ear Cup. Bergkamp scored 120 goals for Arsenal. His first 100 goals were included in the Centurions Dvd along with Henry's first, and Bergkamp retired at the end of the 2005-06 season, ending his career when Arsenal bid farewell to Highbury. On 22 July 2006 Arsenal held a farewell match for him at the newly built Emirates Stadium.
Bergkamp's joining the Premier League is considered an epoch-making event in the history of English football. This is not only because he was the first foreign world-class star to join the English league since the lifting of the ban on all English teams from playing in European club competitions after the 1991 UEFA tragedy at the Hellenistic Stadium, but also because he was one of the heroes of Arsenal's revival since the mid-1990s. As a historical superstar of Arsenal and Dutch football, he has been working in club and youth management since retiring (having returned to Ajax to teach). Legends eventually grow old, but memories don't end. Bergkamp is one of the representatives of Dutch football, Bergkamp and Henry's match of heaven, Bergkamp's suspension is artistic enjoyment, the 1998 World Cup, Bergkamp killed Argentina to show the classic combination of human ball, "The Ice Prince" is one of arsenal's historical legends. You came so gracefully and left so gracefully that today, your statue is standing quietly outside the Emirates Stadium, and that grace is irreplaceable by your farewell.
