Federico Fazio
Federico Julián Fazio (born 17 March 1987) is an Argentine former professional footballer who played as a central defender.
Fazio began his career at Ferro Carril Oeste, signing for Sevilla in 2007. He made 204 official appearances for the latter club in nine years and scored 15 goals, joining Tottenham Hotspur in August 2014 and subsequently returning to Sevilla on loan; in August 2016, he moved to the Italian Serie A with Roma.
Fazio made his debut for Argentina in 2011, and represented the country at the 2018 World Cup.
Born in Buenos Aires, Fazio started his career in the Primera Nacional with Ferro Carril Oeste in 2005. He was bought by Spanish club Sevilla FC in late January 2007 and spent the vast majority of the remaining season with the reserves, which he helped to achieve promotion to Segunda División. He made his first-team debut on 9 May 2007, as a substitute for Julien Escudé in a 2–0 home win against Deportivo de La Coruña in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
Fazio started 2007–08 registered with both teams; however, due to the absences of Javi Navarro (knee, entire campaign missed) and Escudé (pubis, less than half of possible games), he ended up playing an important part on a side that finished fifth in La Liga. His first competitive start took place on 15 August 2007 in the 2–0 home victory over AEK Athens F.C. in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. Four days later, he played the full 90 minutes of a 5–3 defeat of Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium to win the Supercopa de España. His first league appearance came on 25 August in the season opener, a 4–1 home win over Getafe CF.
On 7 May 2008, Fazio scored his first goal for Sevilla in a 3–0 victory at Racing de Santander. He added another in that match, and a third a week later in a 2–0 home win against Real Betis; in both games, he played as a defensive midfielder.
In his second year, they finished third but Fazio featured slightly less and saw time at both positions. He was mostly injured during the following season, making only ten league appearances (on 13 March 2010, he headed home in a 1–1 home draw against Deportivo). The Andalusians ended the league in fourth place, also winning the domestic cup, but he was not picked for the final of the latter competition itself.
Still bothered with some physical problems in 2010–11, Fazio played the most he had in years, appearing in 19 matches – 17 starts – as Sevilla ranked fifth and qualified for the Europa League.
