DENNIS BERGKAMP
MY PRE-TOURNAMENT VERDICT
Regarded as the new van Basten, Bergkamp was the
best player in the English Primier league this season. An all-round
attacker. Unlike van Basten, tends to attack from deeper positions
instead of the target-man role. The Dutchman possesses sublime skill
on the ball and accurate shooting .
THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR: Curling
shots from the edge of the penalty area
WORLD CUP '98 PERFORMANCE
Bergkamp has been impressive in his second World
Cup tournament, scoring a goal against Argentina which was widely recognized
as the best in the tournament. This prompted heavy marking and close
attention by the Brazilian defence in a match Bergkamp faded badly.
