I'm Italian and Ballack is one of the first footballers I kinda fell in love with. He got all my sympathy because he has been really unlucky with his clubs and national team; apart from that, he was a complete midfielder, a joy to watch. I really miss him.
He was hated amongst his teammates because he was unable to integrate himself into any team. You can see in the video that most of his goals were penalties, which is rather unimpressive and there was not a single goal against a big team. To sum it up: An average player with average skill and a horrendous personality. Good riddance.
@@dissect123 This is just a compilation of goals with his national team. Check recaps of his club goals, you'll notice a wider range of skills. I'm not stating Ballack was the best, he just impressed me a lot. About his temper I can clearly recall his argument with Podolski against Wales, when Lukas slapped him after being scolded for poor running. You're right, I can easily figure Ballack being difficult to train for his coach and difficult to bear for his teammates.
@@dissect123 This is actually so far beyond any reality that I don't even know how and if I should answer it. From 2002, when Oliver Kahn described the team as harmonious as he had never experienced it, until 2008, Ballack was by far the strongest field player and the one the others cheered on when they lost heart. It was Löw and Lahm, who was the real bad apple of this team, who called him out when injured because they lacked the self-confidence to accept a strong leader on the field. Two little men with too big fragile egos. When it comes to football, things are even clearer. Ballack was the strongest German player of the last 30 years. He scored fewer goals for the national team because he had to play a lot more defensively there than at club level, putting himself behind the team's success. The tragedy is that he played in an era when there was not enough help. Then again, that's exactly why he shaped the team back then like few before and no one after him.
@@teteskone41 You shouldn't back down too far from your initial comment. Ballack was indeed old school and maybe not always easy to work with, but he was loved by players like Frings, Kahn, Schneider, who can't praise him enough to this date, looked up to by guys like Schweinsteiger and, most importantly, carried that team through a time, in which there wasn't always much help for him. When the time came and he got injured shortly before WC 2010, Löw and Lahm pushed him aside in the most ungrateful way imaginable. But Löw wanted to emancipate himself from the shadow of Klinsmann, who had looked at Ballack as his general on the pitch. Löw not disciplining Podolski, who was a fan and media favorite at that time, after slapping his captain is a prime example of Löws lack of leadership. But weak men never allow strength beside them. Finally, when it comes to football. Ballack was the whole package. Power, grace, an eye for the game, the strongest will and one of the strongest shots and the best headers in decades. Michael Ballack has been the best player of the last 30 years. And it's a shame people forget their heroes just so quickly.
He was the most complete midfielder in the world.... He dominates all defensive and ofensive aspects of this position.... He was a Real Super Player.....
@@rejectionisprotection4448 Yet the only player as versatile as Ballack was might be Goretzka and he's still lightyears behind the impact Ballack had in his day. For a few years Schweinsteiger came close and on a totally different position maybe Neuer does. But apart from that, no single german player shaped it's time as much as he did.
Ballack was a sensational talent. Great dribbler, free and penalty kick taker and unstoppable in the air. So close in 2006 and wiped out by injury in 2010 prior to the World Cup.
Ballack has suffered from 4 major injuries during his career. He was out for a long time in early 2003, then out another time in early 2005, then out long time in early 2008, and finally the injury that prevented him from playing in 2010 WC and forced him to retire. It's a big shame :\
if you compare this to world class players... this is still another level... see the distance the ball travels at freekicks.. ballack didnt even need freekicks... he was heading accurate... passing accurate... shooting exactly accurate... even his volleys can hit... he deserves to be a Fifa Icon at every coming Fifa Game in my Eyes... seen such player profile rarely
Nach Lothar Matthäus gab es keinen besseren und kompletten deutschen Fussballer als Ballack. Er hätte alles gewinnen können, nur Schade das er damals in der Nationalelf niemanden an der Seite hatte, der seinen Talent und Fähigkeiten würdig war. Obendrauf war er im WM-FINALE gesperrt. Vielleicht hätte er gegen die mächtigen Brasilianer um R9 und R10 den Titel ergattern können. Mit WM-TITEL würde ich ihn höher einstufen als mein Idol Matthäus im Fussball. Ballack hat ein Jahrzehnt den deutschen Fussball hoch gehalten. Mein Respekt vor seiner großartigen Leistung für die BRD und auch auf Clubebene tat er das Beste.
Messi is my favourite WINGER and off course superior to BALLACK. Messi is the greatest ever (along with Ronaldinho)... BUT Ballack is much better in his very specific position ie central midfield. Peace out

in his best time (middle of 00s) ballack was one of the best footballers in the world. nonetheless he was a typical german player, like klose, kahn, schweinsbraten, klinsmann, müller,...
@@trupiil This! The popular narration says the 2010 squad was so strong because they could play more freely without Ballack, when in fact, he would have totally deserved to play with a good surrounding cast for once. With the addition of Ballack, Germany could have given Spain a run for their money.
Und sein Nachfolger, der nicht ansatzweise soviel auf viel auf dem Kasten hat, Sami "Rückpass" Khedira, darf sich heute Weltmeister nennen. Der hat sich im Finale 2014 sogar gedrückt (sorry, ist einfach so), wohin gegen Ballack 2002 im Finale gesperrt war und liebend gerne gespielt hätte.
Ballack schoss eigentlich nur 3 Arten von Toren, Weitschuss, Kopfball oder Elfmeter. Tore durch individuelle Einzelleistungen wie Dribblings, filigrane Kombinationen oder Doppelpässe kamen eigentlich nicht vor. Daher kann man sagen, das Ballack ein limitierter Kicker war, besonders aus heutiger Sicht gesehen, aber die Sachen die er beherrschte machte er sehr gut ...
Tut mir leid, das so klar zu sagen, aber das ist ziemlicher Unsinn. Er war ein zentraler Mittelfeldspieler, der die 6, 8, 10 und 9 spielen konnte. So vielseitig wie kaum einer zuvor und niemand nach ihm. Er war kein filigraner Dribbler. Das mag stimmen. Auf einem offensiven Flügel hätte er nichts verloren gehabt. Aber er konnte ALLE anderen Positionen spielen und das ist etwas, das wir vielleicht so nie wieder sehen werden.
My favourite german player of all time...!!! Its such a shame he leaves Bayern because He didnt felt that club had more ambition to conquer europe that time... Bayern was too stingy to spend lot of money at that time... make him leave Bayern for ambitious Chelsea...
+ Muktherock your title is spelled wrong ! Michael Ballack - All 42 goals for Germany ( 1999 -2010)" Der letzte Capitano " ! Not " Die letzte Capitano" ! Just sayin !
Yes Gerd Müller was the First German legendary 13 but Ballack and Thomas Müller are also legends. Maybe Müller is gonna break the all Time worldcup goalscorer record in 2018. he scored already 10 times and he is just 26
+ Danny Soprano but at EC Müller isnt doing so well ! No goal yet scored at EC tournemants ! In France at the EC Müller is still waiting to score a goal !Against Northern Irland he had at least 5 100% Chances of scoring a goal for Germany, but the goalkeeper of Northern Irland had a sensationel good day !
Matthäus war ohne Frage auch ein absoluter Ausnahmespieler, aber er hatte viele gute Mitspieler im Nationalteam, wohingegen Ballack lange Zeit das Nationalteam alleine tragen musste, mit Ausnahme von Kahn. Erst mit der WM 2006 kamen die neuen Talente richtig zum Vorschein, die später auch Weltmeister werden sollten. Dennoch würde ich in einer Rangliste Matthäus wohl etwas höher ansiedeln als Ballack, aber nicht vergessen, Matthäus war Weltfußballer, Europas Fußballer des Jahres und wurde zudem von Maradona als bester Gegenspieler aller Zeiten bezeichnet. Es ist also keine Schande, sich Loddar geschlagen zu geben.

People tend to feel small about themselves when they have lifted an idol too much, and so they enjoy seeing the same idol fall again later. I call it the Britney Spears phenomenon. The former idol is finally showing weaknesses and suddenly your own mediocrity feels much more bearable. It's an ugly reflex.
First of all Messi played and plays a much more offensive role in his teams than Ballack. And second these are just the goals for the National team. 42 goals in 98 games is not bad for a midfielder.
Even without the penalties Ballack still would have 32 goals in 98 games. Not bad for a midfielder. And he didn't only score. He played brilliant passes, could defend well and was an aggressive leader. Wit other words the complete package.
