da gbg bet： In a revealing video put together on Sheffield United’s official channels, several different conversations were had between Chris Wilder and new record signing Sander Berge on his first day at the club.
What’s the word?
da bet vitoria： The video package was an inside look at Berge’s first day in Sheffield after arriving from Genk in the January transfer window.
Wilder welcomed his new recruit before he was taken for a better look at some of the club’s facilities.
The pair were then filmed having a casual conversation in a changing room where we caught a glimpse of a fascinating exchange between the duo over what his first training session would involve in the build-up to the win over Crystal Palace.
After discussing their next opponents in the FA Cup, Wilder told the 21-year-old:
“We fly into Gatwick [tomorrow] and we’ll train in the morning. We’ll train today and prep for the game. We’ll give you some clips as well regarding the position – you’ll pick it up easy.
“We’ll do a bit of work, we’ll play the kids today, the young boys for 20 to 25 minutes and just pick out three or four bits with and without the ball.”
Berge already starring
This particular clip was one of the most revealing in the video package as we got a close insight into how Wilder deals with his players and what he gets new recruits to do when they arrive at Bramall Lane.
For away day veterans only: Can you name all of these defunct stadiums?
However, one quote in particular sticks out – the fact that the Blades boss claims Berge will pick things up easily.
It was something that immediately rung true during his first game in Sheffield United colours as he starred against Palace at Selhurst Park.
Berge was the beating heart of the team in midfield as he swept up balls and kept things ticking over.
Per WhoScored, the Norwegian completed six tackles, made two interceptions and also won four aerial duels in what was a complete and thorough display on debut.
That type of performance was hardly surprising given data supplied by Smarterscout.
As can be seen above, during the 2019/20 season with Genk he preferred to sit deep, rarely breaking into the penalty area.
Immediately you get the sense of the type of pivot Berge can be for his team, not only breaking up play but also playing a mixture of long and short balls from in front of the defence.
