Vasilis Torosidis - The footballer who plays everywhere (part 1)

Vasilios Torosidis (Greek: Βασίλης Τοροσίδης; born 10 June 1985, in Xanthi, Greece) is a Greek international football player who currently plays for Greek Super League club Olympiacos and the Greece national football team.

Torosidis made his senior debut for Skoda Xanthi in April 19 of 2003 at the age of 17 and scored his first goal in the Super League against Iraklis on 17 October 2005. After impressing in his 4,5 years at Octavia, he attracted the interest from the "big three" of Greece, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos and AEK Athens. Eventually he joined Olympiakos on a 5 year deal on 1 January 2007.

He moved to Olympiacos in January 2007 and scored his first goal with Olympiacos against PAOK on 21 January 2007. He scored his first European goal for Olympiacos in the UEFA Cup 2008/09 1st round 5-0 home leg win against FC Nordsjælland and scored another one against Herta Berlin 4-0 in the group stage.

A hard full back known for his exceptional physical strength, endurance and technique, he has been an important part of the Greek national team and the Olympiacos team since joining the club. He has been monitored by Juventus, Bayern, AS Monaco, Rangers, Newcastle, Atletico Madrid and other clubs, but all offers for the player were rejected by Olympiacos. However, after both sides agreed on and signed a contract extension in the summer of 2009, Torosidis now has a fixed transfer fee of EUR 7.000.000 and media reports state that if he continues to perform as he does now, a club willing to pay that sum after the 2010 World Cup will be easily found and he will transfer to a bigger club.From season 2009-2010 we see him play as a "Box-to-box" midfielder making some goals for his team Olympiakos.

Torosidis made his international debut in a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifier against Turkey and became Greece's first choice left-back after the retirement of Takis Fyssas, while playing regularly on the right side at his club. Following the qualifiers, Torosidis was selected in the Greek squad for Euro 2008. He scored his first international goal in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg.

Credits to Vasilis for his skills but I think that some of the defending on display here are rather poor.
