John Mellberg

John Mellberg is a 18 years old Swedish under-19 international who stands at 1.88m tall. He stands out for his ability to control depth, due to his speed and reading of the game, for his ability to disarm and anticipate and for his aerial game where he is very strong. With the ball, he demonstrates his ability to drive the ball by breaking the opponent's pressure lines.

Tall defender (188 cm), fast and athletic. A player who, due to his physical ability, is able to control depth well and cover his teammates well through good reading of the game. He has a good positional sense, which allows him to be in the right place and when he takes depth. He shows good anticipation of his opponents and is also known for his aerial game, where he is confident and dominant. He demonstrates good disarming skills, often recovering possession, he is strong in marking and in physical duels. Offensively, he has a good relationship with the ball and adds quality to the first phase of his team's construction. In this phase he demonstrates resources in conduction, breaking pressure lines and resources in passing, both in short and long passes. Hard-working, focused athlete who shows good vision of the game. Its weak point is decision-making, as it is not always the best one. A player with potential who has already made his debut for Salzburg's first team and is the son of Swedish international Olaf Mellberg. In the near future I see him having more minutes and gradually integrating into the first team until he has the opportunity to establish himself as a starter, as the quality is there.
