Interpretation Conducive To Books Stillness and Speed: My Story
In a team that included some famously heavy drinkers, and players who did not always set the highest standards in their behaviour, Dennis Bergkamp arrived at Arsenal and soon everything changed. Along with the likes of Thierry Henry, Robert Pires and Patrick Vieira, he provided an inspirational cutting edge to the Gunners' play and set them on the way to becoming one of the most formidable sides in the world, winning trophy after trophy. In 2003-04, Arsenal were quite literally unbeatable in the league.Now, with unique insight and eloquent recall, Bergkamp reveals how it was done and explains his footballing philosophy - a way of playing that has been handed down from Cruyff and the era of Dutch 'Total Football' via Arsene Wenger and on today to Pep Guardiola. But, now at Ajax, he is part of a team that is working to create a way of playing football that could take the game on to a whole new level. Whether you want to relive the glories of his past, or share his vision of the future, once you have read this book you will never see Bergkamp or football in the same way again.

One of the best insights into modern football yet. Skilful addressing of delicate subjects laden with truth and honesty.Dennis Bergkamp- He was pretty much before my time but when I did see him I never really thought how fantastic he was because he was so simple in his game. He wasn't silky like Maradona nor was he fast like Messi nor did he bang in goals like Ronaldo. I was intrigued how this man in a team of Kluivert, De Boer, Seedorf, Davids, Overmars, Henry can be considered so important to wear the No.10 for both Arsenal and Netherlands. To understand that, you need to look at football from another
The playmaker with a technical heart who orchestrated the invincible era for the Gunners. Great read about the Dutchman who influenced the game on the same level as Cruyff.
As having Bergkamp as one of my lifelong idol, I definitely set the bar really high for this book. Yet I have to say, this book is not really fulfilled my expectation. Having recognized as the best player that Arsenal ever had and also as a part of The Invincible, I was expecting the story will be centered to his Arsenal period, yet it takes me to read quite a lot of pages before it comes to the Arsenal's story. I understand that the writer (I cannot say it is autobiography, simply because it is
This book is an wonderful little insight into the life of a Dutch Master and probably Arsenal's best player (with all due respect to King Henry)....DB's passion, love and overall respect for the game far exceeds the mere mortals who play the game, a introvert to strangers and a dear friend, leader and instigator of all pranks at Arsenal he is at his expressive best on the football field similar to Zlatan, well great minds do think alike....anyways this book does justice in trying to capture the
A genuine masterpiece
An autobiography of one of the best premier league players to have graced our generation. A lot of details about the Dutch generation that failed to fulfill its potential. On a personal note, it surprised me how a genius like bergkamp took a long time to be completely recognized and appreciated.
