Bernhardsson scored two goals when Kiel defeated Augsburg 3–1 on Sunday. A clever lob and a distinct finish with his left foot mean that Bernhardsson now stands at seven league goals – five of which have come in the last five rounds.
If the goal form continues, national team coach Jon Dahl Tomasson would be wise to put Alexander Bernhardsson's name in the phonebook. The 26-year-old striker played a national team game during the 2023 January tour, but is still waiting for his real debut.
The chance is always there. If you do well on the football pitch, you hope they see what you do. It would be a dream. But it's not something I think about too much. At the same time, you've seen that they're testing many new players, and the chance is certainly there for me too, he said earlier this week in an interview with Expressen.
Bernhardsson left Elfsborg for Kiel at the beginning of last year, when the North Germans were still in the second division. Now the club is fighting to stay in the Bundesliga during their debut season.
With two rounds left, Kiel is in the relegation zone, but only one point behind Heidenheim on the qualifying spot.
