| Quick, strong in the air and good with the ball at his feet, Fabricio Coloccini joined Italian giants AC Milan while still a teenager but failed to win a place in the first team at the San Siro. The blond defender was part of Argentina's FIFA World Youth Championship-winning team in 2001 and played in their team at the CONMEBOL Copa America in 2004. He was also a key defensive player in their successful bid for gold at the Olympic Football Tournament in Athens. In January 2005, he moved to Deportivo La Coruna and later that year he played at the FIFA Confederations Cup.
