never become great? His
career began in the Democratic Republic of Germany where life was a little 'different than it is today. He comes to the big audience in 1997, signing for Kaiserslautern. But often on the bench and after two mediocre seasons, despite the title of '98, he left the Ruhr. Explodes at Bayer Leverkusen's Klaus Toppmöller, renamed Flopmöller because in a week lose Bundesliga, Champions League and national cup. After three seasons with the "pharmacists", go to Bayern Monaco (league and cup in the first year in Bavaria).
At the 2002 World Cup, along with goalkeeper Oliver Kahn is the star of the amazing ride that led to Germany in the final, jumping to the sum of yellow cards. But in the semifinals South Korea with his foul rescued by the Germans and almost made a goal a minute later, tipping on the front, scored the 1-0 which took them to Yokohama. Imposing physique and good feet, is one of the few German players to international level. But it tends to hide in moments too-high point and perhaps a little overstated.
Some people have hastily compared to Matthaus: no joking matter. Ballack is a good midfielder with strength, power and good nose for goal. He has plenty of room for improvement, but Lothar was another thing if nothing else as a personality and impact on the game. In this regard, he said his Franz Beckenbauer, chairman of Bayern and monument of Teutonic football. Leader of the already cradle, Der Kaiser rebuked the Talentino little dedication to the cause. Will it work?
