Today was the day, 36 years ago, when innocent Kashmiri Hindus were betrayed, looted, raped, murdered, ethnically cleansed, and exiled by their own friends and neighbours. Today was the day when they became refugees in their own land.
Never forget. Never. #KashmiriHinduGenocide
This Dennis Bergkamp story from Robin van Persie is brilliant:
Robin van Persie is in the jacuzzi. He's finished training for the day and is enjoying a relaxing soak. The gym and recovery facilities at Arsenal's training ground were designed by Arsène Wenger for maximum light.
There's lots of glass and windows. From the hot tub, Van Persie is looking out onto the training pitch and watching Dennis Bergkamp. The Dutchman is on his way back from injury, practicing with two youth team players and the fitness coach.
It's a complicated exercise involving shooting and giving and receiving passes at speed. Van Persie tells himself that he'll get changed when Bergkamp makes a mistake. "It was a 45-minute session and there wasn't one pass Dennis gave that wasn't perfect. He did everything 100%, to the max, shooting as hard as possible, controlling, playing, direct passing... That was so beautiful! To me, it was plainly art.
My hands got all wrinkled in the bath but I just stayed there. I sat and watched and I waited, looking or one single mistake. But the mistake never came. And that was the answer for me. Watching that training session answered so many questions I had. I can pass the ball well, too. I'm a good football player as well. But this man did it so well and with such drive.
He had such total focus. I found myself thinking, 'OK, wait a minute, I can play football well enough but I've still got an enormous step to take to get to that level.' And that's when I realized if I want to become really good, then I have to be able to do that, too.
From that moment on I started doing every exercise with total commitment. With every simple passing or kicking practice, I did everything at 100 percent, just so I wouldn't make mistakes. And when I made a mistake I was angry. Because I wanted to be like Bergkamp."
