There\u2019s no carrot,\u201d Bergkamp told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou want to have goals in life, to win things, to be the best, to move country and be the best there. That\u2019s my idea of football. Now I feel a lot of decisions are made on money which is strange, and sad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dutch legend Bergkamp believes, however, that current Ajax prodigy and AC Milan and Liverpool target Christian Eriksen is an exception.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we are looking for in an Ajax player, he\u2019s got it all. Pace, two feet, fantastic vision. Maybe he can improve his finishing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bergkamp had a hugely successful playing career in England, scoring 120 goals for Arsenal in 423 appearances and providing countless assists for his team-mates in a Gunners career that spanned 11 seasons. And he says he could return as a coach one day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the right manager, I can see myself as a coach, perhaps in England?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely the natural place after Holland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI enjoy it here, I just started [in coaching] and I\u2019ve a young family. We are settled and want to be involved for a few years but I can see myself moving around and England would be a good first place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/ae5ef3912292_news-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Read the original:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/03\/05\/2380346\/arsenal-legend-dennis-bergkamp-says-young-players-are-too\" title=\"Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp says young players are too motivated by money\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp says young players are too motivated by money<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Jake Watson 5 Mar 2011 12:31:00 England: Dennis Bergkamp of Arsenal with FA Cup 2005 (AFP) Related Links Players Former Arsenal star Dennis Bergkamp believes that today&#8217;s young players have different career goals than when he graduated through the famous Ajax youth system. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-290264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
