According to ESPN, Thom van Bergen has started to see himself more as a number ten than a striker. This change in perception began when he was placed on the midfield at Jong Oranje. He now also plays this position more frequently at FC Groningen. Van Bergen was initially hesitant to adapt to his new role, but he has started to enjoy it more and feels more at ease. He has stated that it took time to get used to the new position, as he had to learn where to stand in different situations. As a striker, he was often positioned with his back to the goal, but in midfield, this is not the case. Van Bergen has been working on this adjustment and has noticed an improvement in his performance.
