Biography
In August 1986, the future footballer Marcus Berg was born on the 17th in the small Swedish town of Tursby. From early childhood, the boy wanted to play sports, and especially football. He began to take his first steps in his football career in the hometown of Tursby, at the academy of the club of the same name. He spent several fruitful years on the team and, after graduating from school, went on a viewing to one of the giants of Swedish football IFC Gothenburg.
Career
Having demonstrated all his creativity and talents on viewing, Marcus was enrolled in the academy of the eminent club. Thanks to consistently high results and progress, Marcus was transferred to the Gothenburg adult team a year later. The debut for the main team took place in April 2005 in the opening round of the national championship against Malmo. In August of that year, Berg scored his first goal on a professional level. Berg quickly settled into the adult team, and during the season he smoothly moved from rotation to the main team. In total, “Gothenburg” Berg spent three full season, in which 73 times appeared on the field and 31 times upset opponents by scoring. In 2007, Gothenburg became the champion of the country, and Marcus also received a personal achievement, he became the top scorer in the season.
At the end of the season, Berg agreed on a contract with the football club “Groningen” and moved to Holland. For two seasons in the Netherlands, a talented footballer showed very good performance (in 69 meetings he scored 44 goals), but could not win trophies. In 2009, another move took place, this time to Germany. The contract with the German Hamburg was designed for four years. High competition and a different pace of the game affected the performance of Marcus. For 44 matches in which he appeared on the field, Berg scored only ten goals. The next season he spent in the Dutch club "PSV" on loan. Temporary relocation to the Netherlands was also not very productive (41 matches and ten goals). Upon returning from the lease, Berg lost his place at the base and spent the remaining two seasons on the bench, occasionally leaving for a replacement.
