Biography

Early days in Australia

Bresciano grew up in Rosanna in Melbourne, playing football locally and joining the first team of Victorian Premier League side Bulleen Lions in 1995 at age 15. He made little impact until his third year in the first team, scoring four goals in four league games and helping Bulleen to the 1997 VPL grand final. Bresciano's reputation began to grow, and he was selected in an Australian Schoolboys squad that toured the UK in 1996.^[1] In 1997 he featured prominently in Australia's unsuccessful U17 World Cup qualifying campaign, scoring five goals.

At the end of the 1997 season and upon completing high school at Marcellin College,^[2] he was offered a place at the Australian Institute of Sport, where he reunited with childhood pal Vince Grella. The players' careers would mirror in the coming years as the two supported their footballing endeavours on and off the field.^[3] He and Grella signed with new National Soccer League club Carlton for the 1997/98 season, but Bresciano was forced to wait until Round 17 to make his NSL debut. He then played every game for the rest of the year, as Carlton finished second with a place in the finals. Bresciano scored in injury time to win the elimination semi-final and put the club into its first grand final, which they lost 2-1. He stayed with the Blues for the 1998/99 season, scoring four goals in eighteen games, but the club finished well outside the top six. In 1998 and 1999, Bresciano made a number of appearances for Australia in various matches at Under-20 and Under-23 level, including the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship, where the Young Socceroos were eliminated in the first round.

Move to Italy

As for many Australian players, a career in Europe beckoned for Bresciano as he sought to develop his game and further his career. Bresciano and Grella had sights set on a move to Italy, spurred in part by their Italian heritage.^[3] The pair joined Empoli in 1999, who had been relegated to Serie B the previous season, and became regular selections in the first team. In Bresciano's third year at the club, he scored ten goals and helped Empoli to fourth position and promotion back to Serie A. The pair also appeared several times in the Australian Under-23 team in the lead-up to the 2000 Olympics, particularly in friendlies held in Europe. They were both included in the team for the Sydney Olympics, although Bresciano only saw limited action as a substitute. The following year his efforts with the Olympic squad were rewarded with a call-up to the Socceroos. On 1 June 2001, Bresciano received his first cap for Australia in a Confederations Cup match against France, coming on as a substitute 12 minutes from time for Josip Skoko. He made a further five appearances that year for the Socceroos, including another match against France in a friendly at the MCG, again replacing Skoko as a substitute.

In the summer of 2002 he joined Parma for €7 million, at the time a record transfer fee for an Australian player^[4]. Though he was hampered by a series of injuries, his 24 appearances in 2002-03 helped Parma to fifth and a UEFA Cup place. With Empoli being relegated again, he was reunited with Grella who stayed in Serie A with a transfer to Parma. "Moving to Parma was a big change in every way, not just money-wise but it is a big club. The structure of the club, the facilities, its popularity means you are under a lot more pressure to get a result" he said following the close of the season, well aware of his profile.^[2] Setting himself a target for the 2003-04 season of five goals, Bresciano surpassed that and eight goals from 33 appearances, the most of any midfielder in the Serie A, as Parma finished fifth again.

Goal scoring hero

Bresciano had also claimed a regular spot in the Socceroos line-up,^[5] justifying his selection with a string of goals, including a match-winning free-kick against New Zealand^[6] and the only goal in a one-nil victory against South Africa.^[7] Parma's fifth place qualified them for the UEFA Cup, where the club advanced through to the semi-finals before being eliminated by eventual winners CSKA Moscow. Their league performance that year was in stark contrast to their UEFA Cup form, as they were forced in to a play-off to retain their Serie A status by finishing 18th in the league. Bresciano and Grella were excused from the 2005 Confederations Cup by the then-Australian manager Frank Farina to allow them to take part in the play-off against Bologna - Parma went on to win the tie and remained in Serie A for the following season. Both players returned to the Australian squad in September 2005, now under the direction of Guus Hiddink, for World Cup qualification playoff against Solomon Islands, followed by a friendly against Jamaica where Bresciano scored the first of Australia's five goals. After playing the first leg of the CONMEBOL-OFC World Cup qualification playoff against Uruguay on November 12, Bresciano scored the only goal in the second leg four days later.

Strength to strength

Parma recovered well in the 2005-06 season with Bresciano playing the majority of games, finishing a respectable tenth by season's end in May 2006 (later rising to seventh and a UEFA Cup place after the Calciopoli findings). Bresciano described their resurgence as physically finding their form. Despite starting poorly, the team went from "strength to strength" as the season went on, with Bresciano himself becoming mentally tougher for the experience.^[8] Buoyed by his strong club season, Bresciano played in Australia's opening game of the 2006 World Cup, being substituted before the team went on to score three goals and defeat Japan. He came on as a substitute in the second game against Brazil and, in the third Group Stage game, was instrumental in the 79th minute goal scored by Harry Kewell against Croatia. The goal resulted in a 2-2 draw, a result securing Australia's place in the second round. Against Italy, Bresciano was judged to be in a scoring position in the 50th minute when fouled by Marco Materazzi. In a controversial decision, the referee gave Materazzi a red card. Italy went on to win after converting a contentious penalty decision given against Australian defender Lucas Neill in the dying minutes of the game.

After being identified as a key player for Australia, Bresciano's overall performance at the tournament failed to live up to expectations. He was described as "solid without being spectacular", although his role as a set-piece-specialist was highlighted.^[9]

Shortly after the end of the World Cup, Bresciano was signed by Palermo on a four-year contract,^[10] and made regular first team appearances in the Serie A and Europe. In October 2006 Bresciano scored what some - including Socceroos Assistant Coach John Kosmina - have described as the greatest goal ever scored for Australia in a full international match.^[11] As Mile Sterjovski received a cross-field pass, he hit it first-time back in to the penalty area and Bresciano reacted quickly to turn his body horizontally and strike the ball on the volley. The goal drew comparisons to his first goal for Palermo in Serie A, two months earlier, against Reggina on the opening day of the 2006-07 season.^[12] Bresciano was on the pitch on 2 February 2007, when violence broke out outside the stadium in the Catania-Palermo match. He was affected by tear gas as it drifted into the stadium and afterwards described the incident as "completely terrifying".^[13][14] He scored his ninth international goal against China in March 2007. A hamstring injury suffered in May caused him to miss the final round match for Palermo, Australia's friendly against Uruguay on 2 June^[15] and hampered his preparations for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup. However, he recovered in time for a warmup match against Singapore and played all of Australia's first two Asian Cup matches. He was substituted in the second half against Thailand and the quarter-final against Japan before the Socceroos' elimination on penalties. After average displays in the early matches, the 71 minutes played against Japan was highlighted as his best performance of the tournament.^[16] Serie A 2006-07 teams distribution Serie A 2006/2007 logo The Serie A 2006-2007 season (officially Serie A TIM 2006-2007) began September 10, 2006. ...

To England and back

On return from Australia's Asian Cup exit, Bresciano became the target of a transfer to English Premier League side Manchester City. After confirmation from new Palermo manager Stefano Colantuono that he would be leaving Palermo for Manchester,^[17] the clubs agreed to a four-year contract with a transfer price of £5 million^[18] and he began training with the City squad.^[19] "I needed a new challenge and I wanted to get the excitement factor back into my game," Mark stated in confirming his desire to play in England, also citing the chance to play under Sven Goran-Eriksson as a big reason for seeking to make the switch.^[20] However, talks between the two clubs broke down in finalising the move, with the timing of the transfer fee given as the primary issue - as City sought to delay payment - and Bresciano returned to Palermo to rejoin their pre-season preparations.^[21][22] As the transfer deadline passed and the deal was put off indefinitely, Bresciano continued training with Palermo. He came off the bench for their opening-day loss to Roma,^[23] and regained his place in the starting line-up in the second week of the season in a 4-2 away win against Livorno.^[24] The FA Premier League (often referred to as the Barclays English Premier League for sponsorship reasons) comprises the top 20 football clubs in the league system of English football. ...

Style of play

Bresciano is one of Australia's most talented footballers and has a renowned eye for goal. He usually plays his football on the left side of midfield but can also play as a forward and in the central or right midfield role. Bresciano is a versatile player who often assists in both attack and defence and is also a set-piece specialist. ^[4]

Personal

Name

His correct first name is Mark and not, as is often reported, "Marco" though he is commonly referred to as Marco in Australia.^[25] Interviewed for the TV documentary The Away Game, he said "In Australia, it's Marco. In Italy, it's Mark. Work that one out. My birth certificate says Mark. But I'm named after my grandfather Marco. I like Marco but not Mark-O. I prefer Mark". The Away Game is a documentary based on the book of the same name by Matthew Hall. ...

Family

His father is Italian and his mother is Croatian, and his younger brother Robert currently plays for Fawkner Blues in the Victorian Premier League. Bresciano married his childhood sweetheart Renee Capitanio in May 2006 in Heidelberg, Melbourne, after proposing to her at the Romeo and Juliet House in Verona.^[26] In February 2007, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Alessia.^[27] The Fawkner Blues are an Australian football (soccer) club from Fawkner, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. ...
