For a team cruising through the World Cup 2010 qualifying campaign, the three-time world champions Germany are facing loads of turmoil within the squad. Captain Michael Ballack was slapped by a team-mate in a qualifer; former goalkeeper Jens Lehmann's talk of a comeback sprouted a bickering match; and striker Kevin Kuranyi hopes to come back to the side after walking out on it last October.
Ballack Leadership Questioned, Not Supported By Coach
German national team coach Joachim Löw still has plenty to worry about within his team and on the immediate surroundings. He needs to just look at his captain Michael Ballack. The veteran Chelsea midfielder has been ridiculed in the past for not being a real leader on the pitch for Germany. After the 2008 European Championship final - a 1-0 loss against Spain - Ballack was seen arguing with national team manager Oliver Bierhoff. Ballack earlier this season in British media about his lack of support from Löw - an issue which was then cleared up internally.
Ballack Slapped In World Cup Qualifier
And then in the April 1 World Cup qualifier between Germany and Wales, Ballack was seen giving instructions to Lukas Podolski and the young Bayern Munich striker slapped the team's captain in the face. No action was taken against Podolski and all parties involved were rash in downplaying the incident. Löw, however, did tell German television shortly after the match that instructions from the captain and other veteran players are to be respected.
