Marek Gamšik is a Slovak footballer born in 1987, on July 27, in a town called Banska Bystrica in Czechoslovakia. Today it protects the colors of the Italian Napoli. Plus, this athlete is the captain of the Slovak national team.
Biography
The Marek Gamshik family is athletic. His father, Richard, is a professional footballer who played for FC Dukla. Renata's mom is a handball player. Interestingly, Marek was born when both of his parents were only 18 years old. Then he had a younger sister. She also became an athlete - she continued the work of her mother. However, she had to end her career because she began to have serious heart problems.
Another interesting fact is that his grandfather bought Marek's boots long before he was born. And at the age of four, the boy’s father took him to Yupi Podlavice FC. So his activity as a football player began. And already at the age of five, the boy was recognized as the best player in the children's tournament.
Career
The first club of Marek was FC Slovan. There his debut took place at the age of 16 (!) Years, he played six months and then moved to Italy. There he played for FC “Brescia”, in which he spent two full season. True, in the second division. But the football player managed to distinguish himself with a bright game - in fact, because of this he was noticed. Marek began to receive advantageous offers, and in the end he moved to Napoli. By the way, he became the second most expensive football player bought by this club. The first was Diego Maradona. Marek Gamshik literally from the first games became a favorite of fans of the Neapolitan club. And then he proved himself as a leader on the field. It is interesting that they continued to call him to various clubs (more titled and successful), but the Slovak refused to everyone - he preferred to stay in Napoli, for which the fans highly respect him. In total, he has already played for this club since 2007. Nice achievement!
What about the national team? There, the athlete made his debut when he was 18 years old. After a short period of time, the head coach put him at the core. And in 2009, Marek Gamshik was completely awarded the captain's armband.
Interesting Facts
Marek Gamshik, whose biography is quite interesting, is considered one of the most talented players in his country. Even though he is a midfielder, still he often shifts to the center. Edie Rey, a former Napoli head coach, said Marek Gamshik is a mixture of Lampard and Gerard. Indeed, the Slovak has a great pass, he controls the ball very well.
It is interesting that he met his girlfriend, whom the football player is dating, at the age of 13 years. The chosen one's name is Martin Franova. She is a handball player - she trained with the sister of a football player. It is known that Marek left Czechoslovakia and they did not see the girl for a long time, but then Martina also moved to Italy.
In 2010, the girl gave birth to a son from Marek, who was named Christian, two years later, another appeared - Lucas. It is also funny that Michaela, the footballer’s sister, married Walter Gargano - and he, like her brother, plays for Napoli.
Marek lives with a girl in a 4-room apartment near Naples and drives a BMW X6. He bought a big house for his parents. At one time, Marek seemed to attract failures - he was stolen from a watch for 25,000 pounds in a traffic jam (which, incidentally, later went to Napoli fans - the clock was returned to a football player), then his grandfather's house was robbed (thieves were caught).
Few people know, but Marek is myopic. At various events, he puts on glasses, but goes on the field without lenses. And the last interesting facts: the football player is rooting for English Manchester United and is equal to Pavel Nedved. With whom, incidentally, in 2010 he released a book telling about his career and life.
