Bergkamp Confesses that Cruyff wanted to him fichar for the Barça

That the FC Barcelona is marked by the Dutch school is an indisputable fact, and that his relation with the Ajax is very narrow also is a fact known. Besides, an ex star of the Dutch group has revealed that his destination could be the Camp Nou, but that finally decanted by Italy.

It has been Dennis Bergkamp the one who has recognised the interest of Johan Cruyff in dressing him of Barcelona when it was the trainer of the Catalan group. "It said it to me without extending , but wanted to that it joined me to him in the Barcelona", has confessed the one of Amsterdam, adding that "To each team that wanted to me, he said me that it was not, leaving to the Barça as only option! But always I had the feeling to finish in Italy, the biggest league in this period".

The one who was legend in the Ajax finish fichando by the Inter of Milan in 1993, an experience something hard but of which no arrepiente: "it did not want to go to the Milan because Gullit, Go Suffice and Rijkaard had gone there. Everything remained between the Juventus or the Inter and had a better feeling with the people of the Inter. They did a lot of promises, that afterwards discovered that they were constant. They said you: 'we Go to play more offensive'. And they did it, but only during a month. It was not what I expected. But Italy was good for my development. I learnt to be more professional".

The biggest

Still today Dennis Berkamp follows standing out his admiration by Johan Cruyff, that marked his career since it was a young player of the Ajax. "In the Ajax, Cruyff was the trainer of the first team. A night came to our field of training and directed the session, that was really intimidating. A so big name training to boys of 12 years! But it spoke me of a way very relajante: 'Simply it plays and enjoy'. Later, it carried me to the first team. Others, in the club, said me that it was not the sufficiently strong or aggressive, but he said me: 'Centre you only in the talent'".
