For the last four World Cups, his country has safely negotiated the group stages only to go out after the first knockout game. "Now it is our turn to get by," he has vowed. If Mexico are to entertain such thoughts, they will need all the leadership and skills Marquez has to offer. Only the second Mexican to play for Barca, he has won three La Liga and two Champions League titles since 2003. He began his club career in 1999 with Mexican top-flight club CF Atlas. In 1999, he signed for Monaco, where he won Ligue 1 in his first season. A great organiser who is also able to play at right back, he will line up in central defence for Mexico. There he reads the game well, snuffing out attacks in their infancy and turning defence into attack quickly with his great long passing, though he can be prone to the odd rash challenge. He can hit a shot like the best, finding the back of the net 10 times in 88 games for his country - a great strike rate for a defender. He won the Confederations Cup with Mexico back in 1999 and now has set his sights on World Cup glory.</blockquote>
