A biography for Marcus Berghasn’t been written yet.
“I like to be in the box where it happens, to score goals or give assists.”
“Of course, in the beginning it's always difficult. It's a new country, new teammates, so you need to find the relationship with all the players. Obviously it takes time.”
“I won't stay in Al Ain. I'm looking and listening for other options.”
“Me and a lot of my team-mates still think and speak about the World Cup in 1994, when Sweden finished third.”
“I believe everything you experience in life and football can make you better.”
“Those who know me know I'm not a person who has a flashy lifestyle.”
“It's always important to be on the scoresheet and also to make assists.”
“In the games I feel good, I can keep the ball well, I help the team there.”
“Al Ain are among the absolute best in Asia. When explaining their place in football in this part of the world, they are compared with Barcelona or Real Madrid.”
“When you play well, when you perform, you have to show every game that you are that good.”
“But talking about goals and scoring and assists, you can never predict anything. I will just do my best to work hard and hopefully that helps the team to win the games. That's the only thing I'm focused on.”
“I have definitely learned a lot from playing in different countries and in different styles of football, and I feel very happy now with Al Ain.”
“That is the way it is in football: once a scorer, always a scorer.”
“But I'm professional: if I need to do extra training I do extra training.”
“It's important to be professional and do a good job for Al Ain, because I have had a good time in the club. And once the season ends I will make a decision.”
“I don't have any secrets. I know my style of football and sometimes it's pretty simple.”
“I have to stay in front to try and create chances and be in the right place in the box.”
“But also outside of football, with the family, the most important is to settle down, to have everything good outside with school, etc.”
“There has been a lot of emotion back and forth around moving from Panathinaikos. Most people know what I feel about that club.”
“With IFK, them as with all other clubs that are talking to my agent, I will listen to all kinds of offers that I receive, compare them and see what's best for me and my family.”
