profile Ballack made his Bundesliga debut with Kaiserslauten in the 1997-1998 season by March 1998 he had negotiated himself into the starting line up making a total of 16 appearances for the team. Ballack’s efforts were duly rewarded Kaiserslauten became the first ever newly promoted club to win the Bundesliga title. At only 22 years of age Michael Ballack moved to Bayer Leverkusen in July 1999. It was Bayern Leverkusen where Ballack made his sensational break through as a top flight player to be reckoned with. Ballack was given a free reign by the management of Leverkusen to control the game from the midfield and he quickly received recognition as one of Europe’s best midfielders. Ballack left Leverkusen after the 2001-2002 season and signed for Bayern Munich for a fee of €12.9 where he settled into a more defensive midfield role. Ballack won the Bundesliga title in his first season with the club and became an institution at Bayern who was widely regarded as an automatic starter for the team. Ballack did come under heavy criticism at times for his failure to perform in important Champions League matches coupled by attacks that he was motivated by money. Before his high profile move to Chelsea was complete Ballack was jeered by the loyal Bayern supporters who believed that his move to Chelsea was being dictated by his greed. Ballack signed for London based Chelsea in May 2006 and he made his Premiership debut against Blackburn Rovers FC on 27th August 2006. Many fans and football pundits have criticised Ballack on his weak performances for Chelsea thus far as he has failed to impress. It seems Ballack is finding it difficult to adjust to the style of the Premiership and he has yet to prove his worth to his new team with rumours surfacing that he is only interested in the money. Ballack has received international success in his career and is the current Captain of the German National side who played in the recent Fifa World Cup. Ballack played a part in the World Cup despite suffering from injury problems and he ended the campaign with no goals, one assist and was named man of the match in Germany’s games against both Ecuador and Argentina. Ballack was included in the FIFA World Cup All Star team.
