Still Weird Watching Michael Ballack Play For Opposition

Michael Ballack will be playing against Chelsea tonight at the heart of the Leverkusen midfield.

Even though it was the right time for him to leave, I still mis Ballack and it is weird watching him play for someone else.

Despite a mixed time at the Bridge he still got a positive reception by Chelsea fans on his return in September.

I have some fond memories of him in Blue and hope that he has a quiet game tonight.

The last time I saw Michael Ballack play for Chelsea, I was sat in the nosebleed seats at Wembley at the FA Cup Final as Chelsea won the double for the first time in our history.

Contract wrangles and mixed messaged also meant this was his last game for Chelsea and a mixed spell at Stamford Bridge saw him win trophies but ultimately fail to deliver on his pre Chelsea reputation on the pitch.

However despite this I liked him as a player, he had an air of authority and I am sure that he can still deliver a quality performance if motivated.

Let’s hope he has a quiet night!
