Marin Marco is a German football player of Serbian origin. At the moment, he defends the colors of the Turkish club called Trabzonspor. Although the rights to the football player belong to the popular London club Chelsea.
Carier start
Marin Marco was born in 1989, on March 13, in a city called Bosanska Gradiska. It is located on the border of Croatia and Bosnia. After the Yugoslav war began, the boy's family moved to Germany. He was only two years old at that time.
At the age of seven, he began to play football professionally. To be more precise, then in the football academy of the team “Eintracht Frankfurt”. Soon, the boy was noticed by scouts from the Mönchengladbach Borussia. He began to play for this team since 2005. The young man lived up to expectations, and therefore a year later the club entered into a professional contract with him for three years. And soon the boy began to be called into the youth national team. It was in those years that he received the status of one of the most talented players in Germany. In the Bundesliga, his debut took place in 2007, but that season the team did not manage to stay in the ranking, and she left the elite division.
Further success
In the 2007/08 season, Marin Marco showed himself at a very decent level. He made 13 assists and scored four goals. It is not surprising that the young player then became one of the leaders of the club. Largely thanks to his work, “Borussia” managed to return to the Bundesliga.
In 2009, Marin Marco began playing for FC Werder Bremen. He was bought for 8,200,000 euros. After a year or more, the footballer began to cost 14 million. He, along with players such as Mesut Özil and Aaron Hunt, became the main striking force of the club. In 2010/11, Marine showed himself in all its glory, making 15 assists and sending four goals to the opponents. True, then Ozil went to Real Madrid, and Marco's successes worsened. In total for the “Bremen” in the German championship, he played 87 matches and scored 8 goals.
Chelsea
In 2012, this talented German football player of Serbian descent was bought by representatives of the London “Chelsea”. His contract was concluded until 2017. The debut took place on July 18, 2012 - and in the same game, Marco scored a goal at the end of the first half. True, he did not play for the main squad. It was not possible to break through there. In total for the London team, Marin played six matches.
Then he was rented by the Spanish Sevilla. Marco Marin is a good, promising footballer, but he rarely entered the field as part of this team. He was not put on the first roles. He played only 30 matches (and even incomplete) and scored two goals in the framework of the Europa League. Then, in 2014, it was rented by the Italian Fiorentina. And already in the past - 2015, on August 25, Trabzonspor invited him to his place. This Turkish team performs in the Turkish Championship. Marco's first goal for this team was September 26, and he sent the ball into the goal net of the opponents from Osmanlispor.
Marco spent many full matches as part of this team. For example, 90 minutes in the game "Gaziantepspor" - "Trabzonspor". True, then he did not score a goal. In addition to the game “Gaziantepspor” - “Trabzonspor”, he also played 90 minutes in matches against “Besiktas”, “Akhisar”, “Mersin”, “Osmanlispor” and other clubs.
As already mentioned, Marco also played for the national team. He entered the field 11 times and scored one goal. And before the European Championships, which took place in 2008, head coach Joachim Löw included the player in the expanded team. However, the main football player did not end up. And Marin became part of the team at the 2010 World Cup. But he was released on the field only two times. The head coach considered that Marco had too weak data (in terms of tactics and technology). And after that, Marina was no longer attracted to the team.
About achievements
So, as you could already understand, Marco is a promising and vibrant football player. Together with FC Borussia Mönchengladbach, he won the championship in the second Bundesliga. And being in the “Bremen”, he won with his team in the German Super Cup. It was in 2009. When he played for Chelsea, he became the winner of the UEFA Europa League in 2013. He had the same achievement during his appearances for Sevilla (in 2014).
And with the national team, he became the European champion among young men under 21 years old. In 2010, he won the “bronze” at the World Cup.
In general, as you can see, Marco is really a worthy player. He is distinguished by high speed, excellent dribbling and accurate pass. In addition, he has a magnificent vision of the field. Thanks to all this, he is often compared with Lionel Messi and Pierre Littbarski. Well, it remains only to continue to monitor the success of the player and wait for new achievements and victories on his part.
