Marcell Jansen (born 4 November 1985 in Mönchengladbach) is a German footballer who plays for Hamburger SV and Germany. He is well
known for his accurate crossing and pace, despite his tall
stature.
Career
Club
career
Jansen has represented his country on 28 occasions so far,
showing up as left-back. On
club-level he has also played on the left of midfield and left wingback, back in
his youth years, also featured as left winger and even
striker,
a term declaring his versatility. He appeared in injury time during
UEFA Euro 2008
as striker.
Joining Borussia Mönchengladbach from
local SV LĂĽrrip in 1994, Jansen was already capped various times
for Germany on youth level when then Mönchengladbach manager Ewald Lienen
appointed him to act as a (unused) substitute in a Bundesliga fixture of the club
against Hannover 96
(0-2) in September 2003. Ironically that remained Ewald Lienen's final
game in charge of Mönchengladbach and Jansen had to go on playing
for the U-19 of the club. The start of the 2004-05
season saw the player gaining senior status, getting his games
with the U-23 of the club in the fourth German division under
manager Horst
Köppel. A change of manager in Borussia Mönchengladbach's
professional squad saw Dick Advocaat taking charge and soon
after the Dutchman relied on Jansen, giving the left-footed
defender the opportunity to debut in Mönchengladbach's first team
in an away fixture at Hertha Berlin
(0-6) in December 2004. When the result turned out to become a
disaster in the second-half, Jansen even caused a foul inside the
box, resulting in a penalty. However, Dick Advocaat kept faith in him despite
this rather uninspiring debut. An injury that sidelined Borussia Mönchengladbach's
skipper Christian Ziege in winter training
worked out Jansen's big first-team opportunity. A string of
impressive performances later he was even able to keep newly signed
Belgian international Filip Daems (Ziege's proposed replacement)
off the starting berth on left-back and enjoyed a
bright debut season in the professional game, winning a key role
for the German U-21 as
well.
His second season in the professional game worked out to be an
even bigger success for the lanky starlet. Helping his club to a
comfortable season without any relegation fear, Jansen signed a new
three-year deal with Borussia Mönchengladbach after
several big European sides had begun to scout him extensively
then.
Regarded as a key player at his club already, Mönchengladbach
fan-favourite Jansen had been the subject of inquiries of other
clubs (most notably Barcelona, Arsenal as well as fellow Bundesliga
outfits Bayern
Munich and Hamburg) throughout the summer months of
2006 with new Mönchengladbach manager Jupp Heynckes rebuffing all of them
consequently in no time, explaining the player was not for sale.
Nevertheless, Jansen moved in July 2007 to FC Bayern Munich for a
fee of about €10 million.[1]
In August 2008, Hamburg announced the transfer of Marcell
Jansen.[2]
According to Bild, the transfer
fee was 8 million euro.
International career
Due to his good form at club level, Jansen, a former U-21
international, was called-up to the senior side and made his debut,
coming on as a half-time sub for Thomas Hitzlsperger on 3 September
2005, in a 0-2 defeat against Slovakia in Bratislava. Also
cementing his undoubted talent in further internationals for
Germany, Jansen was subsequently named in the final German squad
for the 2006 World Cup. Jansen initially
started out as first-choice on the left with usual left back Philipp Lahm being
moved to right back to accommodate him. After some below-par
performances prior to the tournament, Klinsmann eventually benched
him and put Lahm in left back again. With Lahm in good form, he was
restricted to only one appearance, the third place match against
Portugal. He eventually earned a recall for several Euro 2008
qualifiers. His first international goal came in the 6-0 hammering
of San Marino in Euro 2008 qualifying.
