Arne Friedrich German Football Top Defender Plays Arne Friedrich (German pronunciation:, born 29 May 1979) is a German football defender, who currently plays for Hertha BSC and the German national football team. As of May 2010, the Hertha BSC captain has represented his country on 70 occasions, his debut coming in the 2–2 draw against Bulgaria in Sofia, on 21 August 2002.
He was included in the 23-man squad in 2006 World Cup, where Germany finished third. Friedrich started almost every game and was very instrumental in getting Germany to the Third Place match. He is a very versatile player, playing full back, center back, and occasionally a more midfield position. He was also called up to Germany's Euro 2008 squad.
In March 2009, Germany coach Joachim Löw explained that he now planned Friedrich as a centre back instead of the unpopular right wing back position. As of 5 September 2009, when he earned his 67th international cap, Friedrich is the most-capped German international to have never scored. Since making his international debut for Germany back in 2002, as of 3 June 2010, he has earned 72 caps for the Senior side.
