こちらは英国スポーツ書籍賞自伝/伝記部門にノミネートされた元オランダ代表、そして英国プレミアリーグのアーセナルで活躍したデニス・ベルカンプの自伝。あまたあるフットボール選手の自伝と異なり、キャリアを声高に語るわけではなく冷静に自身とフットボールを分析した読ませる内容となっています。アイスマンと呼ばれた彼の面目躍如といったところ。(2014.05.02)
Full Description
In Stillness and Speed, one of football's most enigmatic stars finally opens up about his life and career, revealing the things that motivate and inspire him. Viewed by many as one of the most influential figures in Premier League history, and scorer of the goal that Arsenal fans voted the best in the club's history, Dennis Bergkamp is a true giant of the game.
As a youngster, Bergkamp learned from the Dutch master Johan Cruyff. By the time the pupil was ready to graduate from Ajax and move abroad, he was ready to spread the word, but in Italy he found few willing listeners. It was only when he moved to Arsenal and linked up with Arsene Wenger that he met someone else who shared his vision for football's possibilities. Bergkamp became central to everything the club did: now he had become the teacher, their creative genius, and the one who inspired some of the wayward old guard to new heights, helping them to seven major trophies.
Few footballers' books make you think anew, but in Stillness and Speed Bergkamp presents a new vision for the game and how it might be played. He was a player like no other; his story is told like no other. It is a book that will inspire football fans everywhere, whatever their allegiance.
