Dennis Bergkamp The passing genius

[@mickeymcmoore5412]

When the assist is prettier than the goal, it says something about the player.

[@ythinder]

Bergkamp was one of the main reasons for Arsenal's success during that period, an amazing goalscorer, passer, fighter and modest guy.

[@mrturnables1]

And also the main reason we didn't win Champs League! He didn't like travelling by air!

[@LennyJohnson5]

It wasn't just the fact that he seemed to be able to see through walls and around corners, but the weight and angle of the through balls were just other-worldly. Strikers very rarely had to even break stride. What a player the non-flying Dutchman was. Thank you Dennis; it really was a 'Bergkamp Wonderland' while you were a Gunner.

[@calebkim7797]

A OK wtf, go watch ozil in his Madrid days

[@jkj10]

Not even close to what Bergkamp did..Passing like that ánd scoring the most beautiful goals, Bergkamp was one of the true greats of football.

[@jerre6882]

Kevin de Bruyne is the new Bergkamp, they are almost the same players.

[@keesbrinkmans]

Jerre Mii no they are not, very different roles

[@CaLMCee]

De Bruyne a better equivalent

[@nijuconcepts2119]

He made Wright, Anelka, Henry, Ljungberg score more goals. Arsenal's success came when he arrived in the team, and left when he retired. A one in a lifetime player, there's no such player in football today.

[@IzzyMann]

LITERALLY A ONCE IN A LIFETIME PLAYER!

[@facefact3737]

He should be recognized like Zidane. Technical Bergkamp was even better.

So many players pass like "here you go show em what you can do". Bergkamp was like here's the ball at the peewee league t-ball spot between you and your free goal.

[@mozaarsenal1113]

i instinctively keep shaking my head when watching this video..those passes are so unreal! it's like a remote-controlled ball that bend to direction he wanted.. pure class!

[@Messi10947]

From the camera angle such passes look impossible , but when you are in the passers position they look less so. Still they are absolutely amazing and would take an absolute genius to make such passes

[@lukashayden8067]

For me he is the most intelligent player ever in terms of vision and anticipation in the game. A perfect playmaker with probably the best first touch. Amazing player to watch. DB 10

[@lenday9019]

Dennis Bergkamp was grace, elegance, beauty, power, and intelligence in one incredible package. My favourite footballer since George Best. Can you imagine those two together in the same team?

[@elkaiserdemichoacan]

Len Day George Best...Even tho‘ i didn’t see him play as it was before my time, I don’t think he was good. From all the stuff I saw from best, I think he was no good but absolutely amazing. One of the best dribblers of all time? I think so. Because of my age, It sucks that I couldn’t see Pelé, Cruyff, Maradona at his peak and George Best play.

[@robinstevenson1098]

Front five Best, Bergkamp, Law, Ronaldo, Gascogne. It can’t possibly work

[@robinstevenson1098]

Need someone who can head, R1 not Christianio

[@JohnnyColtHD]

As an attacker you didn't have to time your run, Bergkamp would time the pass.

[@gronz]

yes they just started running, knowing the ball would come to their feet at some point

[@JohnnyColtHD]

@@gronz I also love how at 2:43 Bergkamp waits to pass to van Persie, and by doing so, making van Persie realise he can get a better position to receive the ball.

[@melaninbotswana2474]

Its so funny how the strikers were used to timing runs and doing the work bergkamp did all that for you just tap the ball into the net now i believe when henry say he was his best team mate 😂 👍 😂 👍 😂 👍 😂 👍 just rediculous how easy as a striker was playing along db10 and he was atriker on top of that

[@ryanhill9586]

What makes him so unplayable is that if you get close you get turned on your ass and taken out the game or bypassed with an immediate first touch ball to a runner But if you stand off him he takes all the time in the world to let the players make even more runs and the defense had no way of knowing which run or angles to prioritize because we’d have about 3 players simultaneously running and you couldn’t tell who bergkamp would choose to release Then when you look at the quality of pass, he was probably the best passer of all time. It’s not just about seeing everything before it happened, but also it’s all about the way the ball quickly bypass the opposition then magically slows down into the runners stride for a first touch finish. MAGIC and genius equivalent of any classical painter, musician or scientist, just in a different discipline
