Berg - Johnsen : Duo Norwegian who make UNITED defence like wall

[Wengge Schmeichel]

Pernah nga kita inget jasa Henning Berg & Ronnie Johnsen ketika membawa United juara Champions d Camp Nou? Belum lg Treble Winners & msh banyak trophy yg dipersembahkan untuk United? Disaat Jaap Stam menjadi sorotan, duo norway ini mjd karang yg kokoh bagi pasukan Sir Alex..nga bisa dipungkiri Berg- yg dibeli dr Blackburn 2.5 jt pounds, Johnsen-dibeli dr Besiktas 1.5 jt pounds- merupakan tipikal center back ideal yg bs ngimbangin kecepatan sayap United & Keano-deep midfield di era itu..mungkin bnyk Mancunian lupa ttg mereka, namun jasa mereka bg United tidak bisa dianggao sepele..

Johnsen dulu selalu jadi pemain favorit gw di antara Giggsy, Scholesy, Pallister dan Schmikes...

permainan dia di timnas pun bagus.. gw inget waktu Norwegia lawan Brasil dia ditaro di posisi gelandang tengah trus gocek2 ngacak2 pemain2 Brasil... cengo ngeliat Johnsen bisa begitu...

sebelum pensiun dari sepakbola, Johnsen sempat comeback ke timnas Norwegia dan main full melawan Argentina yang dia antar menang 2-1...

Oslo game delights Ronny



In May, Manchester United announced plans to play Norwegian side Valerenga in Oslo on Sunday 5 August.

Ronny Johnsen won silverware with both clubs and spoke exclusively to ManUtd.com's Nick Coppack about the support the Reds enjoy in Scandinavia.

Ronny, what does this announcement mean for fans in Norway?
It’s fantastic news. The Scandinavian Supporters’ Club is by far the biggest in the world and United is by far the best supported club in Norway. I know this is big, big news for fans in this part of the world. There are so many United fans in Norway. It’s good news for everybody.

Normally it's Norwegians coming to Old Trafford. Now United are going to them...
That's right. Every time United play at home a lot of Norwegian fans travel to Manchester. There are even some Season Ticket holders from Norway. That shows you what this club means to them. It’s really nice that now United are coming to them. I think they’ll all feel really proud. United’s a massive club in Norway and these fans are real die-hards. Every day they follow what’s going on via the internet or on their phones and, as often as they can, they get to Old Trafford. It’s only an hour-and-a-half away on a plane, so it’s not too difficult to get there, but I know they’ll really appreciate United coming to them. It makes a nice change!

What can you tell us about this summer's opponents, Valerenga?
Valerenga is the club I went back to once I left the Premier League and I won the Norwegian league title with them in 2005. I’m very happy for them because they have the best fans in Norway – they really deserve a big day like this. I’m really happy for the Klanen, which is the name of the main supporters group. It’s going to be a very big game and they’ll have no problem filling the stadium for this match.

Of course, it's not the first time the two clubs have met in a summer friendly. You took part in one back in 1998...
Yeah, I did! I remember that game very well. We drew 2-2. It’s just great for United to be back in Norway playing again. It will be nice for the players to go there, too. Sometimes pre-season games are very hot and humid but it won’t be too warm at that time of the year.

Will Valerenga provide stiff opposition?
I think so, yes. Because of the cold winter months, the Norwegian league starts in April and goes through to November. So United will come here in the middle of the Norwegian season, which means Valerenga should be well prepared and provide a good test.

How are they doing this season?
They struggled a little in terms of the football they were playing at the start of the season but they still got results and should be in a good rhythm by the time United arrive in town. They're currently third in the league so it should be a good test and really help United prepare for the start of the English season. I think it will be very competitive.

You left United in 2002. How closely do you still follow the Reds?
I still follow them really closely. I’ve been helping out with a few trophy tours and it’s been really nice to be back around the club and meeting fans around the world. It’s funny, you know, because even now a lot of the same people who were working at the club when I was a player are still around. You’re always made to feel so welcome whenever you come back. It’s a real family club.

Finally, how impressed have you been with your former team-mate and fellow Norwegian Ole Gunnar Solskjaer since he moved into management?
Ole always wanted to go into management and he’s done a great job. It’s not easy to make that move but he’s done really well. Winning the league with Molde for the first time in their history was a huge achievement and Ole has to take a lot of credit for that. I’m not surprised he’s done well.

Jadi inget musim 1998-1999 saat kedua pemain ini masih sering tampil.
Seingat saya lebih banyak Johnsen yang tampil ketimbang Berg, permainannya pun lebih lincah Johnsen. Gak nyangka Johnsen wajahnya makin tua jadi mirip Lothar Matheus, padahal dulu sekilas mirip Van Persie, hehe..

Mudah-mudahan saja kedua pemain ini kelak bisa tampil di event EPL Masters

Wah Berg ternyata kagum dengan Kagawa

Legenda United Terkesima Bakat Kagawa

Bola.net - Mantan pemain Manchester United Hening Berg mengaku takjub dengan kualitas yang dibawa Shinji Kagawa ke tubuh Setan Merah.

Menurutnya gelandang lincah asal Jepang itu menawarkan berbagai alternatif posisi di skema United, alhasil taktik bakal bervarian.

Hal itu disampaikan Hening Berg usai menonton laga MU kontra Galatsaray kemarin, "Dia membuat saya terkesan. Dia seperti pemain top dengan full energi."

"Kemampuannya bermain di multi posisi memberi ekstra kepada MU. Belum ada pemain yang bisa dibebani peran seperti itu sebelumnya," imbuhnya di talkSPORT.

Mantan bek Setan Merah itu menambahkan, jika ada yang kurang dari Kagawa maka hal itu adalah efisiensi pemanfaatan peluang. Namun ia merasa hal itu akan meningkat seiring adaptasinya di Old Trafford. (tsp/lex)
