Arsenal v Barcelona: Dennis Bergkamp defends Arsene Wenger's beautiful vision
It is like discovering a new play by William Shakespeare. Dennis Bergkamp, 40 years old and playing for the Ajax veterans team, is filmed scoring one of his trademark, exquisite lobbed goals against a goalkeeper barely one metre off his line.
Bergkamp created his latest masterpiece at the portentously-named Ajax academy, The Future, where he is working as a coach back at the club where he began his career as a schoolboy prodigy, happily passing on his craft and wisdom to the under-12s.
He wears a blue tracksuit embossed with his initials and exudes his unique brand of warmth and quiet charisma.
After his remarkable 11 years with Arsenal, he still adores English football and says he would choose an English club if he ever decided to be be a manager.
Meanwhile, he is keen to dispel the notion put about by critics that his former managers obsession with attractive beautiful is undermining Arsenals progress.
He said: Arsene Wengers idea is not only to play good football. Its to play good football to win. In my day, we knew that with our style we could hurt teams and win trophies too. But we did it our way, with the positional game, passing, movement.
Ive been watching Arsenal this season and the football is fantastic. They can cut through defences no problem, so I cant agree with people who say 'this is not the way to win.
"Just think what Wenger has achieved over all these years. I dont think you can doubt the man. You just have to give him your confidence. And Wengers critics? Theyre just non-believers!
The only problem, he says, is goalscoring. Arsenal have missed the injured Robin van Persie and departed Emmanuel Adebayor, and need to be more effective in the final third.
Arsenal always have more possession of the ball than the opponent. You dont see often a bad pass in the midfield. But in the final third, often its a bad decision. Thats so strange.
"They just need to be able to finish it off. You have to shoot, to want to score goals no matter how. Just score that goal! You cant be afraid to miss.
As an example he cites his astonishing goal at Newcastle in 2002, recently voted Arsenals best-ever by their supporters, which he created by flicking the ball one side of his marker, Nikos Dabizas, spinning the other way and meeting the ball again goal-side.
If my first thought was, 'I want to control the ball and pass, then I would never make that turn. But my first thought was, 'I want to go to the goal and Im going to do whatever it takes.
"Ten yards before the ball arrived I made my decision: Im going to turn him. I knew where Dabizas was. The thought was, 'just flick the ball and see what happens. Maybe hell block it, or the flick wont be wide enough, or hell anticipate and get two yards ahead. Or maybe hell be surprised and Ill be one or two yards in front of him. As it happened, I still wasnt in front of him, so I had to push him off. So you need some luck as well...
Like Wengers Arsenal, Bergkamp has often been accused of neglecting efficiency in pursuit of beauty. He disagrees.
When I played in Holland, I always tried to lob the goalkeeper. People used to say, 'Oh, youre always only trying to make a nice goal. But I said, 'listen, if the goalie is a little bit off his line, how much space do you have on his left or right? Its not a lot. And how much space do you have above him? There is more. Its a question of mathematics.
"Its fantastic. If you get the lob right, you cant miss. You can say its not effective. But I say it is. I scored many goals like that.
Strangely, the last time Bergkamp pulled on an Arsenal shirt for a competitive match was as an unused substitute for the 2006 Champions League final against Barcelona. Tuesdays rematch is a clash between the two main inheritors of the total football tradition which Bergkamp embodied.
Barcelonas Dutch links go deeper. In the last 40 years, the Catalans have employed five former Ajax men as coaches (Vic Buckingham, Rinus Michels, Johan Cruyff, Louis van Gaal and Frank Rijkaard), the clubs youth academy was modelled on that of Ajax, and current coach Pep Guardiola is an avowed Cruyff disciple.
Wenger referred to his own Dutch influence earlier this month when a journalist unwisely suggested Arsenal had copied the 4-3-3 theyve used this season from Barça. Wenger retorted that he had deployed 4-3-3 at Monaco two decades ago, that the system was invented in Holland, exported by Cruyff and played by Holland 1974 in the World Cup.
Quite so. Indeed, Bergkamp says their shared enthusiasm for the Dutch approach was one of the reaons his relationship with Wenger worked so well.
He said: You can link him with Ajax, the philosophy, the way they both like to bring up players. When I was at Ajax there was only one team in the whole of Europe similar to us, and that was Monaco. That was always how he wanted to play football, and that was my idea too. Our philosophy just clicked. We were on the same wavelength.
Arsenals football aspires to being art, and Bergkamp sees that as the essential difference between him and others. Coaches like Mourinho and Ancelottti would probably say: 'I dont really care how we play, look at my trophies', you know? OK, they win trophies, thats for sure, but you cant really say in my opinion that a team like Chelsea plays a certain style of football.
At Ajax, Bergkamp played under Cruyff and Van Gaal. How does Wenger compare? Cruyff, he says, worked instinctively. The way he played, he would bring that across to the players. How you control the ball, how you move, where you stand. It was more technical, I feel, than tactical. He was more like: 'attacking is our thing, and these are the possibilities.
"Van Gaal was more the schoolteacher, banging it into the players: 'do this, do that. He would leave the technical side more to us, but he was a master on the tactical side and what we must do to make the system work.
"And I would say Wenger would be the one in the middle. He could be like the teacher. Hes very good on the tactics. And he loves players who are technical. He loves players with instinct and intelligence like Cruyff does.
Ultimately, he says all three aspire to the same ideal.
They all want to create something that is theirs, something new, something different. But, in the end, it is not theirs, it is the teams. Van Gaal is the teacher, but only so the players will, in the end, think for themselves, create their own poem.
"I feel with Wenger that people in the end will say 'Ah! the teams he had played fantastic football! And that is what he wants, and its what Cruyff wants, and what Van Gaal wants too.
