Arne Friedrich Profile

A leader of the Hertha Berlin side, he is the type of performer you need in a major championship and his eight performances in the Euro 2008 qualifiers proved again that this defensive rock rarely puts a foot wrong.

At home in the right-back berth or in a more central defensive position, he has the pace and power to deal with most attacking threats. The Nationalmannschaft is famous for featuring unsung heroes aplenty and Friedrich slots neatly into that category.

Player fact: Freidrich is one of the game's most committed Christians and is likely to have a copy of the bible with him at all times during Euro 2008.
