Marco Marlin, 32, a talented player once hailed as the "German Messi", has traveled to 11 countries in a 14-year career to play for his 12th team.
On September 18 this year, ferenc Varos, a team from the Hungarian First Division, officially announced that the team officially signed free agent Marko Marin, a former German genius who finally found a new club to continue playing after leaving Saudi giants Jeddah National in July this year.
The Walter Award, named after the Famous German Fritz Walter, is intended to recognize the rising stars of German football, Neuer, Götzel and Kroos have all been involved, and Marin, who won the Silver Award in 2006 and the Gold Award in 2007, had extremely high talent and skill at the time, but unfortunately, his career did not meet the expectations of fans.
In the first round of the 2007 DFB-Pokal, Marin dribbled at high speed on the left side, breaking through the arc after cutting inside, which was simply Robben's possession. At the end of that season, he used 13 assists to help Borussia Moncheng to the top of the Bundesliga and return to the Bundesliga, and it was from then on that that his name began to appear in the Major German Media, even if he was only a Bundesliga player at the time, but the eye-catching "report card" still allowed him to enter the stage of the national team. On 27 May 2008, he replaced Schweinsteiger off the bench, and at 19 years, 2 months and 14 days, he became Loew's fourth youngest player to date.
In close-ups of the faces of that German team, Neuer, Boateng, Hummels, Khedira, Hévedes, who later won the World Cup in Brazil, while Marin, who shared the European Championship with them, only stopped the national team appearance record at 16 games, and after 2012, the door of the national team was completely closed.
Joining the Premier League giants Chelsea, may be a turning point in his career, the original strong Chelsea will become the best platform for his second transformation, but his emaciated figure encountered Waterloo in the Premier League that emphasizes confrontation, whether it is Di Matteo and Benitez are cold to the weak Marin, not to mention the midfield of Oscar, Eden Hazard, Mata and Lampard, he seems to have entered another winter without end in advance, with only 6 appearances in the season, Even the later Mourinho directly excluded him from the first team.
Stamford Bridge was his lingering nightmare after all, no one thought that Chelsea, who thought that "Taobao", would split Marin's career, at that time, the powerful "taxi" lived up to its name, even De Bruyne, Lukaku, Salah became a member of the Blues "taxi" at that time.
In the 2013 season, Marin was loaned to Sevilla in La Liga, in the 2014 season, he was loaned to Serie A Fiorentina, in the middle of the 2014 season, he joined Belgian giants Anderlecht, and in the 2015 season, he joined Trabzon Sport in Turkey. The wandering career is eroding his comeback, although the ownership still belongs to Chelsea, but he has not made waves everywhere he went, and he has not won a minute of playing opportunities in Serie A on loan with Fiorentina, and has also encountered the bitterness of being "returned early".
In August 2016, the German finally ended his three-year "taxi" career in the Blues, and Greek giants Olympiacos signed him from Chelsea for a transfer fee of 3 million euros, and in the next two seasons, he handed over a "report card" of 59 games with 12 goals and 10 assists, and also appeared in the Champions League again.
After that, Marin also played for Serbia's Red Star Belgrade, and in January 2020, he moved to The Asian arena to join Saudi giants Jeddah Nationals, but after a season, he was loaned to Saudi arabian team Buraydah Vanguard.
Looking back at the German's entire career, perhaps the two consecutive Europa League titles at Chelsea and Sevilla are the highest honors of his career as a player, but compared with the teammates he has played for the national team, Marin's career has indeed made many people feel sorry.
