Playing style
S. Berhalter plays like an attacking midfielder who wants to arrive between the lines and turn possession into threat fast. He spots the final pass early, then keeps moving to offer again, mixing sharp chance creation with a direct edge around the box. When the space opens, he is comfortable taking responsibility as a clinical closer, not just a connector.
