Adrian Anthony Madaschi (born July 11, 1982 in Perth ) is an Australian football player on the position of defender .

Career

Career start in Australia

Madaschi began his active career as a football player in his native Australia, where he had his first youth station at Balcatta SC from Balcatta , a suburb of Perth. From there he moved to the youth division of Bayswater FC at a young age . From Bayswater he then came to Perth SC , which he was loyal to until 1998. After years in Australian youth football, Madaschi decided to continue his journey to Italy, where he was accepted into the youth department of Atalanta Bergamo in 1998 and stayed there until 2001.

First appearances in Italy

As early as the 1999/2000 season he was allowed to train with the professional team for the first time and from the same time was also in the professional squad of the club. After the team's promotion to Serie A , Italy's top division, Madaschi was awarded for the first time in July 2001. His path led him to AC Monza Brianza , whose professional team had just relegated from Serie B to the third-class Serie C1. At the club from Lombardy he came to eight league appearances and was awarded a second time after returning to Atalanta Bergamo in January 2002 for the spring of 2002.

Within the C1 series, he transferred to AC Pistoiese , where he was unable to assert himself, however, and so only made two championship appearances. When he was awarded for the third time after his return and did not make a single championship appearance at the third-rate Spezia Calcio , his contract with Atalanta Bergamo was dissolved in October 2003 by mutual agreement of the club and the player one year before the contract actually expired.

Regular player in Scotland

Subsequently, Madaschi moved during the current season to Partick Thistle in the Scottish Premier League , the highest football league in Scotland , where it made a total of 24 season appearances and two goals as well as three cup appearances. He made his team league debut just one week after his commitment, on October 25, 2003, in a 4-1 away defeat to Heart of Midlothian , where he was on the pitch for the entire duration of the game.

Despite Madaschi's achievements in central defense, the team trained by Gerry Britton and Derek Whyte did not manage to stay up and had to relegate to the Scottish Football League First Division . During the following season he was used in 27 championship games, scored two goals and again played three cup games for the team. After relegation in 2003/04 Partick Thistle had to relegate again in 2004/05. But before relegation to the third-rate Scottish Football League Second Division , the native Australian left the club and moved to Dundee FC for the 2005/06 season , where he signed a one-year contract. At the club from Dundee, however, he was no longer as integrated as before with Patrick Thistle and was only used in nine league games. In December 2005, he left the club and flew back to Australia to be treated there for a pubic bone inflammation .

Return to Italy

In January 2006 Madaschi flew back to Europe, where he signed a contract with the then Italian third division club US Grosseto until the end of the season. He then moved to Calcio Portogruaro Summaga in Serie C2 , the fourth highest football league in Italy. There he quickly became a regular player and made 27 league appearances in his first season. With the team he managed to Siegen in the play-offs at the end of the season just barely avoid relegation and so did not have in the fifth rate series D dismount. In the following seasons, the team's performance improved steadily, in 2007/08 they were promoted to Serie C1 , and at the end of the 2009/10 season they were promoted to Serie B for the first time . Madaschi was a regular player throughout, his stay at Portogruaro finally ended in the summer of 2011 when the club missed relegation in Serie B as penultimate in the table. Madaschi then kept fit with Australian first division club Melbourne Victory before signing a short-term contract with local rivals Melbourne Heart in early November .

International

Madaschi gained his first international experience with the U-17 national team of Australia , the Joeys , with whom he took part in the U-17 World Cup in New Zealand in 1999 . In the tournament the young Australian reached after games against Brazil, Germany, Mali, Qatar and the United States finals . There, the team, headed by Les Scheinflug , lost 7: 8 to the U-17 national team of Brazil on penalties. Madaschi was elected to the tournament team at the end of the competition and was one of the main people responsible for getting into the final.

With the Australian U-20 national team , he took part in the 2001 Junior World Cup in Argentina . The team was eliminated in the round of 16 after they were clearly defeated 0: 4 against Brazil with the "rising stars" Kaká , Luisão , Júlio Baptista , Adriano and Maicon Douglas Sisenando .

In 2004 he took part in the soccer tournament of the Olympic Games in Athens with the Australian U-23 national team and reached the quarter-finals. There they were defeated by Iraq 1-0 and so eliminated from the competition.

Before the Olympic Games in Athens, Madaschi was in a total of four international matches for the Socceroos in May and June 2004 . All four games were part of qualifying for the 2006 World Cup in the Oceanic Zone . On June 2, 2004, he scored the first two goals in his young career as a national team player in his home country in a 6-1 win over Fiji .

After around five years without international appearances, Madaschi was appointed to the 30-man squad for the last three qualifying games for the 2010 World Cup in May 2009 . However, he was not used. But his first appearance after more than five years of abstinence should not last long, because he made his comeback on August 12, 2009 when he played in a 3-0 win over Ireland in the second half.
