Player Profile
The central defender missed Euro 2008 with a broken bone in his right hand but is in the World Cup squad after some assured performances at the end of Switzerland’s successful qualifying campaign.
Von Bergen won two Swiss titles with FC Zurich before moving to Hertha Berlin for the 2007 season.
The defender could be on the move again after the World Cup as Hertha were relegated last season, finishing bottom of the Bundesliga.
Von Bergen, who speaks French, German and English, says his sporting idol is Swiss tennis superstar Roger Federer. He admires his attitude, mentality and modesty.
