Holger Badstuber

Holger Badstuber (born 13 March 1989) is a German footballer who plays as a defender for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and the German national football team. He is primarily a centre back, although he is a capable left back. He made his debut in the 2009–10 season in the Bundesliga, at the age of 19, playing nearly every game that year and helped the club win the league and cup double and reached the Champions League final that same year, before eventually earning a call up to the World Cup in 2010. Current Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal stated that he is the best left footed defender in Germany.
