The former Germany international has suggested that he cannot pay the massive amount of money as he is currently out of a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684, following his departure from Bayer Leverkusen before the start of the season
Former Germany national team captain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Ballack’s legal team have urged the court to relax the fine on the retired star for speeding as he is unemployed for the time being. The 36-year-old wants a reduction in the €10,000
speeding fine as he is not earning at the moment.
The veteran midfielder hung up his boots in the summer when he left Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen. He was linked with a move to Major League Soccer and Canadian teams, but nothing materialised of that. Therefore, he decided
to call time on his playing career.
The experienced player recently announced that he might get a coaching license in the near future. He admitted that leaving the game was hard, and he will do anything to stay in touch with football. The central midfielder has 98
caps for his country and scored 42 international goals.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 man was caught driving with a speed of 211 kilometres per hour on the A5 motorway in Trujillo, which is way over the speed limit in the area. The attacker was banned to drive for two years along with a massive
fine, but his lawyer Jesus Gallego Rol has requested the court to lower the staggering amount.
The representatives have filed for this because Ballack does not have the resources to pay the fine. His lawyer stated that his client’s fame should not be taken into account as he does not earn. As a result of this, he is unable
to carry out the sentence.
"Just because he is a famous footballer doesn’t mean he has any money coming in," the representative was quoted as saying in an interview.
Ballack has enjoyed a great career both with club and country. He has played for big European teams such as Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Bayer Leverkusen. He was among the best midfielders of his time and led http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 to the 2002
World Cup final.
