Simon Sandberg

Simon Sandberg, the seasoned right-back for Sirius, is a player whose defensive acumen shines brightly in the Allsvenskan. At 31, he's a stalwart in the backline, exhibiting a remarkable penchant for recovery and retention. Sandberg's ability to break up opposition play and reclaim possession is a testament to his experience and understanding of the game. His penalty area defending is particularly noteworthy, providing a solid barrier against attacking threats. While his attacking contributions may not set the world alight, his progressive passing is a standout feature, enabling him to effectively transition the ball upfield and initiate attacks. However, his limited success in progressive carrying suggests that his impact is most felt when the ball is at his feet rather than on a forward run. In duels, Sandberg can be outmatched at times, but his awareness and positional intelligence often compensate for this. A balanced defender, his strengths lie in his ability to control and dictate defensive situations, making him a reliable figure in the squad.
