Ballack's letter to the Leverkusen-pros



Dear Bernd Schneider, Bayer dear professionals,
 Finale! Olympiastadion Berlin, ausverkauft.Prickel atmosphere. A game at all, only 90 minutes from the pot. Until the title! Or even 120 or even a nerve-racking penalty shootout. They are those special games, about which we have been dreaming about football as a child. Moments for which we have toiled for years.
I push you from my heart both come Daumen.Natürlich memories of 2002 high to me. We were as good as master. We already had a hand in it in the Champions League trophy. We were in Berlin in the cup final. Three times in the final, no title. Thus needs to stop now. Fetch the pot!
Another word about my friend Bernd. I was touched when Schnix Gladbach's 5-0 victory over 398 days after injury break was eingewechsel. I would give him especially when he would stretch out on Saturday the trophy to the sky ... I have in my career have witnessed many great players but no one who loves football like Bernd.
You throw a ball towards him and his eyes sparkle with happiness. Alone, he deserved the trophy triumph.
 Fetch the pot!
 Yours, Michael Ballack
