bergkamp: post arsenal

so what’s happen next to dennis bergkamp??

for the 2 years i’d been living in london. haven’t been to the games much or to the training ground. but i enjoy live over here (netherland). we’ve move back in the summer to holland, from then on i’ve been studying with my coaching badge.

how was the move back, (!@##$$%%)
was it strange to even get to oyur home country?

yea fortunately. they’re all born here, brought up here,umm went to school here. so if u got a family like that it’s always difficult to move country especially for us because we had a fantanstic time in england. we made a decision and we back in holland now.. but we still thinking of england, it’s pleasing.

and coaching with marco van basten of course, how was that going??

yes it’s good.. it’s someone i played with..the whole coaching staff.. i played with all of them..so it’s fantastic to be involved with them and learn the business of the coaching. good to work with because they got the same footbal idea as i am.. yea for me it’s a brilliant step to maybe become coach..

how is that coaching role developed from now? what’s your long term ambition??

well for now it will be a year of learning, trying to get my badge.. being involed with ajax for the 1st year of course.. then maybe in future maybe start something with the youth..long term i dont know.. idont know how long it will take me.. if i want to be a coach for the 1st team.. i dont know..but maybe in england maybe in holland.. i dont know..

arsene wenger cant go on forever dennis, cant you see that??

no..no.. that’s probably too much..it’s a lot of work..how much time he put in..yea as an assistant coach or part of the coaching staff..it’s probably more in my line of thinking..

i suspect you still see how arsenal getting on..you still watch the games at emirates stadium..what do you make of this current side??

again it’s a fantastic team with a lot of talent..the only thing that’s is missing at the moment for all of them..is a trophy.. and hopefully this year will be the year because it helps players..especially young players if you win a trophy you can move on. go the next stage..and that’s what they need..so..instead of being a talent..you wanna be a good footballer.. and that different is maybe a trophy..

and of course !@#$%^*, they win some they lose some..
is that something to do with experience?

i think so…because young players..it’s always one game good..one game bad..it doenst matter if you had a bad game..but you still need to get a point or a win..you know..bad game but a win..it’s fantastic..but that’s the only different..the only thing that’s lacking at the moment.

!@#$% it could be the most wonderful title race you’ve seen..
as four teams going for it..

yes..yes.. it’s very close..you dont see a lot of differeces between the teams.
and it’s the same @#$% in europe at the moment..in holland as well now..
i think it’s better that way.. really exciting..and with all the european games coming up and stuff..it’s really interesting to see who comes top.
