Interview (Always-update)

The Marshall chases Bundesliga forwards
Thanks to drbillbongo
This is the news when he first come to German

Micho: ‘I’m Bayern player now. I’m here to work. And to win, win, win’

At home, they call him “Marshall” because Demichelis-1.84 metres tall and 80 kilograms heavy – tidies up in the defence. He embodies the hard, non-compromising defender.

Instead of lying in the sun, he tortures himself during training and studies videos

He always has a German-Spanish dictionary with him. “Language is very, very important” Micho says. Even back in Argentina, he regularly studied German.

Chico: “Martin learns quickly. He can already order a beer. I needed much longer for that after my transfer to Bayern”

Interview: Demichelis
"Bayern are as big as it gets''
06.05.2003

FCB.de: "What kind of player is the club and its fans going to see?"

Demichelis: "A player who gives everything out on the pitch and works hard, I'm going to try my best to acclimatize quickly, to Germany, to the team, and perform as well as I can after that"

"The club has so many great players, absolutely word-class stars. If I was to single any of them out it would just mean forgetting some others, which wouldn't be fair. The team as a whole is what I'm looking to"

"I hope I never have come down from the peak. Playing for Bayern is as big as it gets"

Interview: Demichelis 'I'm ready to fight for my place'
30.11.2004

Demichelis confirmed his desire to stay in Munich for as long as possible "If it was up to me I'd stay another eight or 10 years. Bayern is a massive club, but I think it's normal to be unhappy when you're not playing"

"When I run out in Bayern colours I'm exceptionally happy, especially as we're in a good phase"

"I'd like to play more of a role and you can only do that on the field, it's every player's dream. I want to play, that's what makes me happiest of all"

"I don't want to be playing only because someone gets injured or suspended. I want the coach to pick me because he has faith in me and my ability. We have a large squad, but I'm ready whenever I'm needed"

"I'm still young and I want to learn, I want to keep on improving. But I'll never do that as a substitute, I have to be out on the field. And that means both good and bad games. I'm a long way from my home and my family. I'm here to do a job, but it's not the full picture if I'm not playing. It doesn't matter how much you train, there's no substitute for the rhythm of playing"
