Ollie 4,400 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Ballack plays the holding role for Germany and did so in the 2006 world cup, i aint smoking nout, i just know stuff. He may have started out as an attacking midfielder but for munich he played a lot deeper and in the defensive role for Germany in the 2006 world cup he was outstanding. When lampard was injured in the 07/08 season for a long spell, who replaced him and banged in a few goals in quick succession? Was michael Essien. He has the attacking intent that Ballack doesn't have anymore. Edited August 24, 2009 by OllieCFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alee. 182 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Not like he cost 30m Ballack is a top top player, gives his all, scored some good goals.. Edited August 24, 2009 by ChelseaBoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Ballack has been an EXCELLENT signing. 22 goals in 114 appearances is an excellent ratio for any player, that's a goal every five games or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mart 29 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Ballack has been an EXCELLENT signing. 22 goals in 114 appearances is an excellent ratio for any player, that's a goal every five games or so.About the same as Carlton Cole tbh :unsure: There is no reason to dislike Michael Ballack. He is a fantastic player, promised the rest of his career to Chelsea quite a long time ago (unlike a few of our other great players!), he scores important goals (2 against Utd, for instance) and he dominates the opposition (whoever it is) with ease. No one gets the better of Ballack.And he was a free transfer And as for him being "primarily a holding midfielder" because he has played that role a few times in the past, he is still primarily an attacking midfielder, wherever he is played. But I would disagree that he is ever a holding midfielder because although he may play deeper he never holds a defensive position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
