Björn Bergmann Sigurðarson

[Vikingur]

I see he started in the game yesterday. How did he do? Remember he's only 18 years, so if he did badly dont be too harsh on him

I think he's got a big future in the game, hopefully at Lilleström for many years, but with teams like Man Utd having shown an interest in him maybe Lilleström will get big money for him.

You can reply in Norwegian as I understand it completely, just dont have the patience to write it.

Bjørn Bergmann Sigurdarson gjorde en meget god debut fra start i går. Han slet litt med å komme seg inn i kampen den første halvtimen, men viste fra første ballberøring at han har en nærteknikk få andre spillere i Tippeligaen besitter. Utover i kampen ble han mer innvolvert i spillet og kom også til 3-4 gode sjanser. På en god dag kunne han nok fort satt 2 av dem, men det skal nevnes at 3 av sjansene var avslutninger med venstrebeinet, noe som ikke er hans beste bein. I tillegg viste han en fantastisk arbeidsinnsats og tok sugende 70-meters returløp da han mistet ballen på motstanderes banehalvdel. Virket veldig offensiv i spillestilen og trår skikkelig til i duellene. Han virket til å ha litt problemer med å finne sin plass som hengende spiss bak Olivier Occean og dette er nok noe han vil jobbe mer med, nemlig possisjonering. Han har også litt å gå på rent fysisk med tanke på duellspill, men både fart og utholdenhet virker til å være i topp klasse. En utrolig lovende debut og dersom han fortsetter i samme spor med god utvikling, vil han neppe spille i norsk tippeliga i mange år. Bergmann har definitivt talentet til å komme til en større liga dersom han tar vare på talentet sitt og utvikler seg godt i Lillestrøm. Forhåpentligvis kan han lære mye av Petter Belsvik, som er en del av trenerteamet til LSK. Han var en notorisk målscorer og har antagelig mye å lære Bergmann når det gjelder bevegelser.

Han hadde tre store sjanser, men misset dem alle. Den ene rundet han keeper men det løse skuddet hans ble reddet på streken. Ellers viste han god innstilling. Bra å komme til så store sjanser. Absolutt en godkjent debut av en 18-åring i en vanskelig bortekamp.

Her er høydepunktene fra kampen, hvor du kan se sjansene til Bergmann.

RB- Papir

Her er det som sto i Romerikets blad etter kampen og hva han selv sa:

Bet godt fra seg i debuten
Tromsø: Bjørn Bergmann sigurdarson bet godt fra seg i sin debut. Den unge islendingen var både sliten og litt skuffet over at han ikke scoret etter kampen. 17-åringen hadde tre store sjanser til å gjøre en uforglemmelig debut. -Spesielt da jeg rundet keeper i starten av andreomgang burde jeg ha satt den. Men skuddet altfor løst. Venstre benet mitt er for dårlig, sier han. Tempotilvenningen ble brutal for spissen, og han var veldig sliten til pausen.

Og her er hva han fikk på RBs børs:

BJØRN BERGMANN SIGURDARSON 5
Ikke like mye i ballkontakt som spissmakker Occean i starten, men tok mer defensivt ansvar. Livsfarlig da han kom gjennom etter en snau halvtime, men Ramovic reddet godt. Avsluttet for løst med venstrebeinet da han rundet Ramovic etter pause og fikk også en sjanse til før han ble tatt av. Viste mange fine detaljer med ball etter hvilen.

[Vikingur]

Excellent. Great stuff!!

[KrisB]

Også. Jeg synes han spilte bra, det kunne likeså godt vært han som spilte hele kampen istedenfor occean. Men han var nok sliten.

Har trua på at han kan starte også til kampen mot Rosenborg om en uke.

[WAK]

Tror Edwin sarter mot RBK etter at han putter 3 mål for rekruttlaget i morgen.

Skuddat var faktisk ikke veldig løst, om du ser reprisen ser du at TIL-spilleren som kommer glidende bremser ballen ganske mye. Uansett; han burde kanskje satt den, men jeg er mer enn imponert over Bergmann på tross av manglende nettkjenning.

[kinstad]

De som har vært på en del treninger de siste 2-3 mnd vet at Bergmann har et sinnsykt bra skudd (les: balanse og ro i skuddøyeblikket) og det står bare om tid før han prikker inn mål etter mål både for oss og for lag i større ligaer. Unødvendig å si at jeg har masse tro på denne gutten. Får vi igang Bergmann skikkelig mener jeg at vi her på forum kamp etter kamp vil diskutere hvem som burde spille ved siden av ham på spissplass. (da han er selvskreven)

[trigz]

The boy impressed me, at least, even though of course he should've scored. He has good pace, a very good first touch - and very good balance, which is a quality sadly lacking from most of our strikers...

I hope he gets another opportunity against Rosenborg, I really liked what I saw.

[OppsalKanari]

Way out of his depth against Ræv

[Vikingur]

How is Björn Bergmann doing? Has he progressed the way you thought or been a disapointment. I was quite suprised he was not selected for the Iceland U-21's couple of weeks ago. Then again we have outstanding talents in that agegroup as we beat Northern Ireland 6-2 away and could have scored more. He has to buckle up and better himself to get a chance.

Also surprised that he wasnt selected for two U-19s friendlies against Scotland away, which Iceland won 2-0 and 3-1, last week. But we also have great young players there so maybe Björn Bergmann is behind those players in quality. I hope not as I have high hopes for him in the future.

Lilleström should defiantly look at some of these young Icelandic players as there are some real talents there. For example 18 years old striker, Pape Mamadou Faye, who scored 3 goals in the 2 games against Scotland. He is on par if not better than Björn I think.

Björn has been doing quite good lately. He has not started any games for the 1st team, but he seems to be "next in line" as he is often used as a sub, getting minutes towards the end of our matches. It should also be mentioned that Arild Sundgot and Edwin Eizyodawe has shown excellent form and cooperation lately. This hasn't made Björns job any easier, as he competes for the same spot as them.

Against Stabäk (defending champions) he got 20 minutes and used them well. He set Edwin up to a huge chance with a nice pass, and impressivly made his way through Stabäks defensive line, leaving him almost alone with the goalie. Unfortunately, he was under pressure when he made the shot, and that got him out of balance. Nonetheless a great effort. He also had a good left foot shot from 16-18 meters, that almost touched the crossbar. A lot of the supporters "fell in love" with him after that game, but it's hard to find room for three strikers in a 4-4-2 team.

Against Odd he got some minutes as well, but the situation did not allow him to use his offensive qualities. Still, he worked hard to support the defense, and sent one of Odds players flying in a duel. His physical strength has been a real surprise to me, at least. In both games he demonstrated that he has got more than enough muscles to play TL-games.

Björn has also been troubled by a back-injury in the first half of the season, but when he has been available for play, he's usually in the 1st teams matchsquad. He's also played a lot of games for Lilleströms relegation-facing 2nd team. Lately they seem to have gotten better results, and in their last game against Fram Larvik, Bergman really stood forth. He delivered three goals and a nice assist from a midfield position and was reportedly man of the match.

Rumor has it that he's been very homesick during his stay with us, but hopefully he feels a bit more at home now that Logi came to town. I still feel concerned about the boy though. That's why i'm asking you, Vikingur, to convince KR and Ingolfur Sigurdsson to make transfer deal with LSK as soon as possible. I'm sure you won't let me down.

You can see a couple of chances created by Björn about 2:50 into the video.

Cheers for the vids. And I am sure Ingolfur will be a LSK player very soon.

Any sources, or just a guess? Would love to see him at the club.

Here's a link to a longer video of one of the chances he created against stabæk. But I think you'll need to install a player or something to view it. Might be to much trouble.

And here's a very short interview with him from LSK.no (in norwegian, but I think you said that you didn't mind reading Norwegian?)

Is this just a guess, or is it based on rumors/knowledge?

[andersmm]

Bjørn was sent on towards the end of the first half of todays match against Bodø/Glimt. He replaced a injured Igiebor and went on to score LSKs equalising goal, his first goal in Tippeligaen. The match ended 2-2, after a horrible first half by LSK.
