Marcus Berg lethal in front of goal


The 21 years old make a perfect debut in the Euro under 21 Championship. Playing with the support of home fans, the Swede scored a brilliant hat-trick in a game that saw him shooting only five times. This 1.86m and slick striker deserves a closer look from major European league clubs. Currently playing for Dutch side Groningen (where he get a superior 0.5 goals per match), Berg preferable uses his right foot and seems to be an extreme lethal forward in front of goal, he basically needs one touch on the ball to get on the score sheet.
In the Byelorussian trash 5-1 by the Swedes, he played a major and for my delight, this was the first time I saw him play. For a couple of years I’ve been trying to watch a player that some friends we´re referring to me, but this was my first try. Strong alongside the opponent defenders, he has expert moves inside and on the outskirts of the box, he’s also clever when choosing the right moment to kick the ball – we can see that good timing in his second goal, when he dribbles three Byelorussian defenders inside the box and with a light touch puts the goalkeeper Chesnovski out of contention.
On the down factor we have his poor skills when passing the ball, although he’s got a 77 percent rate passing, he failed almost all he tried on the third quarter of the field.

Tip: Quick on the pitch and on the trigger, Marcus Berg he’s another offensive product of the Swede school. Actually playing in Holland, he needs to came to a ‘less open’ championship and learn how to play against more tough defenses. He’s amazing 0.5 goals per match should put him in route of collision with an Italian, English or Spanish team. He just needs to learn how to get off the ball in a more consistent fashion, apart that his already a fearful striker. His favorite club his Lazio, so let’s see.
