come on Freddie, go! GO!

In 2002 Dennis Bergkamp played a vital role in the run-in to
the title. Many will remember that
Newcastle goal but his influence on creating goals for others was
crucial to winning the league that year, as the Gunners piled on 13 straight
wins in the home stretch to claim glory.
In December of that season, the Arsenal faced Juventus in
the Champions League. The lasting memory from that match is one of Bergkamp
dancing along the edge of the penalty area, ball glued to his foot, toying with
his defender. Freddie Ljungberg lies in wait only a few yards away, seemingly
as mesmerized by the Dutchman’s footwork as the Juventus players. In an instant
Dennis rolls the ball back, Freddie darts in, and the pass meets him in stride.
Goal.
