Martín Gastón Demichelis (Spanish pronunciation: [maɾˈtin demiˈt͡ʃelis]; born 20 December 1980 in Justiniano Posse, Córdoba) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a centre back for Málaga on loan from Bayern Munich. He was also a defensive midfielder before Ottmar Hitzfeld chose to employ his defensive prowess more as a center back. His skills as a midfielder make him a ball-player from the back, often bringing the ball forward and showing good comfortable ball possession.

Characteristics

A secure presence in the centre of defence, he can also operate in a holding role in midfield. A commanding central defender, he is strong in the air and also possesses the ability to time covering tackles to perfection.

Club career

River Plate

Demichelis started playing professionally in 1998 at Buenos Aires based club River Plate, but he did not manage to find himself a spot in the starting line-up until 2001. He had some good performances at River Plate, which resulted in a transfer to Bayern Munich in 2003.

Bayern Munich

Demichelis' first season with Bayern Munich was not very positive, because he suffered a number of minor injuries, but under the command of coach Felix Magath, he found a place in the team's starting line-up. Martín has also played a vital role for Bayern in winning their three doubles in 2005, 2006 and 2010.

After being dropped from the starting lineup against Wolfsburg in the opening game of the 2010–11 Bundesliga, he requested that Louis van Gaal omit him from the squad altogether, which van Gaal did. Demichelis thereafter voiced to the press that it would be probable that he and the club went separate ways.[1]

International career

On 11 September 2007, he scored his first international goal for Argentina in a friendly match against Australia, in which his header proved to be the winning scoreline 1–0. On 22 June 2010, he scored the first goal of the match for Argentina against Greece in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[2]
