Bergkamp(從AJAX到Inter.) (2) - 阿森納兵工廠足球俱樂部 Arsenal Football Club

With Ajax he won his second European Cup, the UEFA Cup in 1992.
Dennis was three times Dutch topscorer (1991, -92, -93) and was voted twice
'Soccer Player of the Year' by his Dutch collegues (1992 and -93).
In Ajax he played right behind the strikers, position what was later taken by
incredible Finnish player Jari Litmanen (now in Liverpool).
In the Dutch league Dennis played 185 games and scored 103 goals.
Altogether, Bergkamp played 239 games for Ajax and scored 122 goals.

(這篇文章顯然是以前作的,Litmanen現在已經回AJAX,想當年他也不負眾望繼承
Bergkamp夢幻影子前鋒的位置,帶領AJAX完成95的王朝)

(衷心期待Litmanen復甦~~~)
(我們家的Kanu也是啊)

After this great year he, and Wim Jonk, were sold to Inter of Italy.
That was the effect of his excellent performance in Euro 1992.
Johan Cruyff disapproved it because he felt that Bergkamp would not play well
in the defensive style of Inter.

(果真被Cruyff料中了~~~>o<)

But Bergkamp wanted a challenge, and he chose Inter over clubs like
AC Milan and Barcelona, where football was played more similar to the
attacking Ajax system. Again he played a UEFA Cup final and this time also
he won the Cup, now with Inter. He stayed in Italy for two seasons,
but as Cruyff predicted, Bergkamp had a difficult time in Milan.
The club promised a change of playing style but it didn't happen.
Bergkamp's releationship with his teammates was also not good.
For an example, one of his teammates in Inter Milan, the Uruguayan striker
Ruben Sosa treated him more as a rival than a colleague.
Dennis also could not go down well with with the quite-hungry Italian press,
when he wouldn't talk to them, they talked to his gardener who told them that
one of Italy's most highly paid footballers liked to stay at home
with his wife.
He received much criticism in Milan. During this unhappy time,
Bergkamp still played well for Holland, and he played a important part in
Hollands 1994 World Cup campaign, playing every game in the finals.
After all he scored 3 goals in 5 World Cup matches.
