Tim Borowski (born May 2, 1980 in Neubrandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany), is a German football midfielder who plays for Bayern Munich of the German Bundesliga and Germany. He is a central midfielder, adept at tackling and attacking although best known for his passing and vision.

Personal life

He has a higher commercial school qualification. He married Lena Mühlbacher on July 15, 2006 at the manor-house in Osterholz-Scharmbeck. They have one child, Emilia born July 22, 2007.

Career

Early career

He started his career at his hometown-club Post Neubrandenburg. There he was scouted by Werder Bremen and became a part of the club's youth academy that, in recent history, has also brought up players such as Nelson Valdez (now with Borussia Dortmund), Christian Schulz and Simon Rolfes (now with Bayer Leverkusen).

Werder Bremen

After playing for Werder Bremen II in the Regionalliga Nord, he finally became part of the senior squad in 2002. He had been a regular since joining the main squad. As Werder Bremen usually deploy a 4-4-2 diamond formation, he usually played as a left midfielder.

Bayern Munich

Borowski joined the defending Bundesliga champions on a free transfer. He wears shirt number twenty four for Bayern Munich.

International career

His first international match for Germany was a 2-2 draw against Bulgaria in Sofia on August 21, 2002.

Tim Borowski was selected for the 2006 World Cup. In the first match against Costa Rica, he played the role of attacking midfielder instead of captain Michael Ballack who was not available for the first match. After the game, he became an ever present substitute for the team and usually substituted for Bastian Schweinsteiger or Torsten Frings.

In the quarter-final against Argentina, he made a superb assistance for his then Bremen teammate Miroslav Klose to score the equalizing goal for Germany. Borowski scored with the decisive fourth penalty in Germany's 4-2 win in the shootout after extra time.

After the strong appearance in the previous match, he played from the beginning in the semi-finals against Italy. Later in that match, Bastian Schweinsteiger replaced him after Borowski picked up an injury, and was not able to play for the third place against Portugal.
