Michael Ballack (born 26
September 1976) is a German
football midfielder who plays for Chelsea of the English
Premier League and is the captain of the
German national
team. He is among the
top goal scorers
in the history of his international team. Ballack has worn the
number 13 shirt for every team he has played for except for
1. FC Kaiserslautern. He was selected as
one of
FIFA's 100 Greatest Living Players,
and the
UEFA
Club Midfielder of the Year in 2002. He has won the
German Footballer of the Year
award three times 2002, 2003 and 2005.
Ballack began his career as a youth at
Chemnitzer FC, his local team, and made his
professional debut in 1995. Although the team were relegated in his
first season, his performances in the
Regionalliga the following season
led to a transfer to
Kaiserslautern in 1997. He won the
Bundesliga in his first
season at the club; his first major honour. He became a first team
regular in 1998–99 season and also earned his first senior national
cap for Germany. He moved to
Bayer
Leverkusen for €4.1 million in 1999. The 2002 season saw
him win a slew of runners-up medals: Bayer Leverkusen finished
second in the Bundesliga,
German Cup,
UEFA Champions League and
Germany lost to
Brazil
in the
2002 World Cup
Final.
A €12.9 million move to
Bayern
Munich led to further honours: the team won the Bundesliga and
German Cup
double in 2003, 2005 and 2006.
Ballack had become a prolific goalscorer from midfield, scoring 58
goals for Bayern Munich between 2002 and 2006. He joined Premier
League side Chelsea in mid-2006 and won his first English honours,
the
FA Cup and
Football League Cup, in his first season
at the club. Injury ruled out much of 2007 but he returned the
following season, helping Chelsea reach their first ever
Champions League
Final.
Internationally, Ballack has played in the
European Championships
in
2000,
2004 and
2008, and the
FIFA World Cup in
2002 and
2006.
Jürgen Klinsmann appointed him captain
of the national team in 2004. He captained his country in the
Euro 2008 Final but the team
lost to
Spain.
Early life
Michael Ballack was born in Görlitz, a small town in East Germany.
He is the only child of Stephan and Karin Ballack, an engineer and
a secretary respectively.
The family moved to Chemnitz
when Ballack
was very young and it was there that he started to play
football.
Club career
Chemnitz
Ballack's parents sent him to train with the side when he was seven
years old. He later moved on to FC Karl-Marx-Stadt (renamed
Chemnitzer FC in 1990). His father had
played second-division football himself in Germany. Unusual for his
early age was Ballack's ability to use both feet with equal
authority.
In 1995, Ballack earned his first professional contract, thanks to
his performances in the role of central midfielder. He was dubbed
the
"Little Kaiser," in reference to
Franz Beckenbauer, who was nicknamed
"The Kaiser". His professional debut came on 4 August
1995, on the first day of the new
2. Bundesliga season. Chemnitz lost
the game 2-1, against
VfB
Leipzig.
At the end of the season, during which Ballack made fifteen
appearances, Chemnitz were relegated to the multi-tiered, regional
third division. On 26
March 1996, Ballack made his debut for
Germany's Under-21
side.
The following season, Ballack became a regular first-team player as
Chemnitz missed out on an immediate return to the Bundesliga. He
did not miss a game and scored ten goals for the "Sky Blues". It
was not enough for Chemnitz to be promoted, but in the summer of
1997, coach
Otto Rehhagel of
just-promoted
1. FC Kaiserslautern signed Ballack at
their return to top flight football.
Kaiserslautern
It was during the seventh game of the
1997–98 season, away
to
Karlsruher SC, that Rehhagel
decided to throw Ballack into the Bundesliga for the first time, if
only for the final five minutes of the encounter. On 28 March 1998,
Ballack made his first-team debut against
Bayer Leverkusen.
Ballack made 16 appearances for his new team during the season as
the club became the first-ever newly promoted team to lift the
league title. In the following season, Ballack became both a
regular (he made 30 appearances, scoring four goals) and one of the
side's leading players. Kaiserslautern reached the quarter finals
of the Champions League, but were knocked out by
Bayern Munich.
On 1 July 1999, Ballack moved to Bayer Leverkusen at the age of 22,
for a transfer fee of
€4.1 million.
Bayer Leverkusen
It was at Bayer Leverkusen that Ballack made his breakthrough.
Coaches
Christoph Daum and
Klaus Toppmöller granted him an
attacking role in the midfield.
Ballack was instrumental to the success of
Leverkusen, scoring 27 goals in the league and nine in Europe over
the course of his three seasons at the BayArena
.
In 2000, Bayer Leverkusen needed only a draw against minnows
Unterhaching to win the title, but an own goal by Ballack helped
send the team to a crushing 0-2 defeat, while Bayern Munich
clinched the title with a 3-1 victory over
Werder Bremen. 2002 was a season of
disappointment for Bayer Leverkusen. In the German
Bundesliga, the team surrendered a
five point lead at the top of the table over the last three games
of the season to finish second behind
Borussia Dortmund, lost the
UEFA Champions League final 2-1 to
Real Madrid, and lost the
German Cup final 4-2 to
Schalke 04. These three runner-up finishes
were dubbed a "Treble Horror".
Ballack and Leverkusen teammates
Bernd Schneider,
Carsten Ramelow, and
Oliver Neuville were even beaten finalists
with Germany in the
2002 FIFA World
Cup, although Ballack was suspended for the final itself.
Ballack finished with 17 league goals, and his performance over the
season led to him being voted into the UEFA.com users' Team of 2002
as well being named
German
Footballer of the Year.
Bayern Munich

Munich
In spite of
Real Madrid's interest,
Ballack decided to sign with
Bayern
Munich in a
€12.9 million deal in 2002
after his impressive performances in the World Cup. Bayern won the
Bundesliga in his first season with 75 points, they also won the
German Cup. In his second season
however, Bayern lost their Bundesliga crown to
Werder Bremen along with the cup.
In his third season with the Bavarians, Ballack enjoyed success in
the
2004-05
season as Bayern Munich completed another double. New coach
Felix Magath stated he was the only
automatic starter in their midfield. In four seasons at Bayern,
Ballack won three Bundesliga and
DFB-Pokal
doubles and scored 47 goals in 135 matches. Between 1998 and 2005,
Ballack notched up 61 goals in his domestic league.
However, Ballack's critics noted his frequent "
choking" in important
Champions League matches. This
resulted in open public criticism from club general manager
Uli Hoeneß, communications director
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and club
president
Franz Beckenbauer, all
former Bayern players. Beckenbauer later went as far as to accuse
Ballack of "saving his strength" for prospective employers after
Ballack turned in an average performance in the
2006 DFB Cup final against
Eintracht Frankfurt.
Chelsea
Ballack agreed to join
Chelsea on a
free transfer on 15 May 2006. During
his last season as a Bayern player there were rumours of interest
from
Manchester United,
Real Madrid,
Internazionale and
A.C. Milan, but Ballack
instead chose to go to Stamford Bridge
. Shortly after arriving at Chelsea, Ballack
stated that he hoped to end his career for Chelsea.
Ballack's
debut for Chelsea came on 31 July 2006, during a practice match at
UCLA
's intramural football pitch. Chelsea
presented him to the media the following day where the club also
gave him his favoured number 13 shirt, worn throughout his career.
Upon doing so,
William Gallas, who
previously wore the number 13 shirt for Chelsea, was given the
number 3 shirt. This move created animosity between Gallas and the
club as Gallas felt that he was underappreciated.
On 27 August 2006,
Ballack earned his English League
debut for Chelsea against Blackburn Rovers
, and his UEFA Champions League debut for Chelsea
against Werder Bremen.
Ballack scored his first goal for Chelsea on 21 September 2006 in
the latter match against
Werder
Bremen. He received his first straight red card of his career
in Chelsea's 1-0 win over
Liverpool
on 17 September 2006, after being judged to have stamped on
Mohamed Sissoko's leg. Ballack
scored his first goal in the English League on 21 October 2006
against
Portsmouth at home with a
header. His first
FA Cup goal came in the
109th minute in a match against Blackburn Rovers on 15 April 2007.
This goal resulted in Chelsea progressing into the
FA Cup final.
He scored eight goals in all competitions for
the club in the 2006–07 season, including a free-kick against
Everton at Goodison Park
, as well as a half-volley against F.C. Porto which
sent Chelsea through to the quarterfinals of the
UEFA Champions League.
On 28
April 2007, Chelsea released a statement on their official website,
informing fans that Ballack had undergone ankle surgery in Munich
. As a
result of the surgery, Ballack did not play in the
FA Cup Final against Manchester United,
which Chelsea won 1–0 through
Didier
Drogba's extra time goal. This was Ballack's second trophy this
season, his first being the
League
Cup, the final of which he started.
Chelsea left Ballack out of their Champions League squad for the
2007–08 group stage as they realised that his injury would prevent
him from playing any useful part and preferred to select the fully
fit
Steve Sidwell. The German
international had an ankle operation in the summer and Chelsea
could not take the risk of him not regaining full fitness before
the end of the Group Stage. Thus, Ballack could not play in the
Champions League before the knockout stages began in February. The
club was only able to select 23 out of a possible 25 players for
their Champions League squad due to the new UEFA regulations on
'association-trained players' and 'club-trained players'. Due to
this regulation, Chelsea were also unable to select young player
Scott Sinclair and could only pick 23
players as their only 'club-trained player' was
John Terry. For this reason, it was deemed unwise
to gamble on Ballack being fit at some point.
Ballack was absent for eight months with an ankle injury, during
which he feared that his football career might be in danger of
ending as he was getting older. He made his return to the side in
Chelsea's 2–0 League Cup win over Liverpool on 19 December.Ballack
tallied an assist late in the game to striker
Andriy Shevchenko. On 26 December, Ballack
made his league return in a thrilling game against
Aston Villa which ended 4–4. He came on for
Frank Lampard in the 26th minute after
the latter had picked up a thigh injury. In first-half stoppage
time, he won a penalty after being brought down in the box by
Zat Knight, which Andriy Shevchenko
converted. In the 88th minute, with the score tied at 3–3, Ballack
stepped up to take a free-kick, which he buried into the bottom
left corner of the goal, but the match ended in a 4–4 draw.
Ballack captained the Chelsea team in the absence of captain
John Terry and vice captain
Frank Lampard in a 2–1 win over
Newcastle United on 29 December 2007.
Ballack then played his 50th game in a Chelsea shirt in a 2–1 win
against
Fulham in which he scored the
winning goal for Chelsea. He also scored the only goal that won the
match for
Chelsea against Reading to
extend the blues' winning streak to a record of nine. And, on 5
March, he scored again, this time against
Olympiacos in the
UEFA Champions League Round of 16 in a
3-0 win.
He scored
the winning goal in the 2-0 win in the 2nd leg of the
Quarter-Finals against Fenerbahçe
, a victory that secured Chelsea a place in the
semi-finals.
Ballack continued to score vital goals and, on 26 April 2008, he
scored a header and a penalty to give Chelsea a 2-1 win over
Manchester United. He was
named
Man of The Match for his
performance. It brought the two teams level in the race for the
Premier League title only two
matchdays before the end of the
season.
The season ended on a low note for Ballack as
Chelsea finished runners up in the League Cup,
Premier League and
UEFA Champions League. This completed
another treble horror for Ballack and his club. On 29 June 2008,
Germany, captained by
Ballack, lost to
Spain
1-0 in the final of the
UEFA Euro
2008 championship. This became the second season in Ballack's
career that he was runner-up for four major trophies.
The 2008–09 season started well for Ballack, he set up
Joe Cole to score the first goal in a 4-0 win over
Portsmouth in the first game of the season. Ballack was injured
shortly after missing the games against Manchester United,
Liverpool and
Arsenal. Ballack's return
from injury has been a lift for Chelsea as he set up
Deco to score a scissor kick in a 2-0 win against
Bolton Wanderers. Ballack's
first goal of the '09 season came against
Southend United in their FA Cup replay,
a match which Chelsea went on to win 4-1. Ballack's first Premier
League goal of the '09 Season came on 11 April 2009 in a match
against Bolton Wanderers, ending 4-3 for Chelsea. He came on as a
second half substitute as Chelsea won the
2009 FA Cup Final.
On 2 June, Ballack signed a one-year contract extension with
Chelsea.
In Chelsea's second game of the season, away at
Sunderland, Ballack scored his first goal
of the
2009–10
campaign in their 3–1 win. Ballack also scored against
Burnley in a 3-0 win. Ballack made his
Champions league appearance against Portuguese side
Porto. On September 20, 2009, he scored his third
league goal, against Tottenham Hotspur.
International career
On 26 March 1996, Ballack debuted for the national U21 team against
Denmark, shortly
after signing for Chemnitz. In all, he played 19 matches for this
side, scoring four goals. Then, following his move to
Kaiserslautern, national coach
Berti
Vogts called him up to the senior team.
Ballack's first appearance, however, did not come until 28 April
1999, when he came on as a substitute for
Dietmar Hamann in a match against
Scotland.
Ballack only played 63 minutes at the
UEFA Euro 2000 championship. In the
2002 FIFA World Cup, he scored in
matches against the
United States and
South Korea
during the knock-out rounds as Germany reached the final. However,
he was booked for a tactical foul during the semi-final match
against South Korea and was suspended for the final which Germany
went on to lose 2-0 to
Brazil.
Following the
UEFA Euro 2004
championship,
Jürgen Klinsmann
replaced Rudi Völler at the helm of the national team and Ballack
took over
Oliver Kahn as captain.
In the
2006 FIFA World Cup, he
was unable to start in Germany's first game against
Costa Rica due to a calf
strain, but appeared in the following five matches. Germany were
eliminated in the semi-finals, but they managed to clinch 3rd place
in a match against
Portugal. He was named
Man of the Match in the games
against
Ecuador and
Argentina, and was
included in FIFA's
World Cup All Star
Team.
On 6 February 2008, Ballack played his first match since returning
from injury in a 3-0 friendly win over
Austria.
Ballack started and captained
Germany's first game of the
UEFA Euro 2008 championship against
Poland. He proved to
be an influential figure in the midfield as Germany came back from
a shock defeat to Croatia to make it to the final. scored a free
kick against Austria to secure Germany a 1-0 win and a place in the
quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals, he scored a controversial
header against Portugal to make the score 3-1 in their 3-2 win
after an assist by
Bastian
Schweinsteiger's 60th minute free kick, helping Germany to
advance to the semi-finals. Germany went on to beat Turkey 3-2 in
the semifinals. Prior to the final, Ballack sustained a calf injury
but eventually overcame it in time. However, Germany ended up
losing 1-0 to
Spain.
Nevertheless, he was named in the Team of the Tournament.
Ballack can boast that, dating back to June 2005, Germany has never
lost a game when he has scored. So far, he has scored 4 goals for
the
2010 World
Cup qualifiers.
Personal life
Ballack married his long-term partner, Simone Lambe, on 14 July
2008. The couple have three children together - Louis (born 2001),
Emilio (born 2002) and Jordi (born 2005).
