complete?
hes lightweight and lacks pace

yup, but his 'off the ball' positioning, dribbling and trickery is more thn enuff to compensate his lack of pace. Lightweight? compared with Samba type he is, but compared with Terry type he's lightweight? R u sure?

hes not complete. ofc he doesnt need to be.
have you ever seen he beat defender using physical contact? fighting for headers?

no doubt he is a legend..
a great one...
after retired where is he now??
did he follow tony adams step into coaching??

yess...he is pretty weak when comes to body contact...

Bergy & Overmars are the reason I support Netherlands. Bergy's goal against Argentina in WC98 QF (am i rite?) was marvellous.

He's offered a trainee role by MVB at Ajax nxt season.

Berkamp ain't good as Akmal Rizal. I saw Rizal's performance with my own eyes.

lol

there is no such thing as complete footballer.
to be complete u must be able to play from gk right up to forward.

anyway back to topic, bergkamp dun have to bulldoze his way up using physical contact because he can use his skills instead

true what

exactly. eventhough hes weak physically, you rarely see him getting touched . the video is like he's telling me "i don't need strength and pace"

youre serious??

lol....u serious? check out bergkamp play 1st then onli compare....

but I see with my eyes and I compare wo...

just because Rizal is Malay/Asian he didn't get a chance to play world class football but he is actually world class footballer

Greatest Goal ever...
v Newcastle
v Argentina
Classic Goal...
BERGKAMP

i think ive read somewhere that he traveled by sea to play an away UCL match..i dont remember against whom..err, maybe juventus??cant remember la

i think it is wise to make this thread..to remember what he has done for the game..salute for bergy he is legendary

bold statement.since u seem to know a lot about him, please enlighten us on his amazing attributes as a player

Posting this for the lulz. Probably what i'll remember Bergy best for

Akmal Rizal can run faster, run longer distance, shoot more accurately, shoot faster, so better free-kick taker, have better discipline, have more passion and most importantly, have better trickery and ball control than Berkamp or any other premiership players. Akmal is an undiscovered talent. Should I open a thread for him LOL?

R u Akmal Rizal?
