Serdar Taşçı
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Serdar Taşçı (born April 24, 1987 in Esslingen) is a German football player of Turkish descent.
He played for the youth teams of SC Altbach, of Stuttgarter Kickers and, from July 1999, of VfB Stuttgart. Before the 2005/06 season, he joined VfB Stuttgart's 2nd team, playing in the Regionalliga (3rd division). Prior to 2006/07, he was promoted to the club's Bundesliga side.
He had his professional debut on August 20, 2006 against Arminia Bielefeld (3:2 win), in the 2nd game of the season, being brought on for injured Danish striker Jon Dahl Tomasson in the 68th minute. His first goal followed only a week later, in the next game against Borussia Dortmund (1:3 defeat).
Taşçı usually plays as a centre back or right back. Due to his Turkish descent, he is eligible to play for either Germany or Turkey, but in October of 2006 has decided to pursue a career for Germany. He had his debut for the Germany national under-21 football team on February 6, 2007 against Scotland (2:0).
