Another of the great hopes of German football he in constantly compared to England's David Beckham. He began his career at FV Lorrach before moving to the Bundesliga and Borussia Monchengladbach in 1998. He moved to his current club Hertha Berlin in 1999 but will move to Bayern Munich once the World Cup Finals area over. He made his international debut in February 2000 against Holland but despite making the squad regularly he has missed several games with injury and has only just recovered from a knee operation. There is no doubt about his talent, delicate ball skills, vision, passing and shooting he will challenge for a starting place in the finals either in the centre or on the right.
