The German national team manager is unhappy with the midfielder’s situation and believes he could have handled the matter in a much positive manner.
With the German team preparing for the upcoming Euro 2012, their manager has revealed his regret after falling out with one of the country’s most devoted footballers and the former skipper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Ballack-c25270.
Low admitted to his mistake and is now hopping to improve his relationship with the angry midfielder.
Ballack was all set to lead his side in the 2010 FIFA World Cup but injury in a league game against Portsmouth ruled him out of the competition. Later, the player was also left out from the Euro 2012 qualifiers squad. Owing to
focus on grooming youngsters, Ballack would not be selected again, Low had revealed back then.
Bayern Munich midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toni-Kroos-c35425 is tipped as a long-term replacement for the former German skipper.
The tactician offered the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 earlier this year but he declined the offer. The midfielder also accused the German Football Association of harsh treatment and decided to break
all ties with the DFB by retiring from international football.
Low has expressed his disappointment over the entire situation and wants to have a meeting with the Bayer Leverkusen star to clear the air.
While talking to Sky Bundesliga, the 51-year-old further elaborated:
"All of us who were involved in this thing should have found a better solution. Just as it was then, and how it is currently, it is not satisfactory. I hope we can resolve things someday.”
Ballack served http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 for 11 years and bagged 42 goals from 98 international appearances. The influential midfielder is currently plying his trade at the Bay Arena and is likely to move abroad at the end of the ongoing season.
The 35-year-old has played with FC Kaiserslautern, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and also spent four years at Chelsea. Ballack has twice been a part of World Cup runners-up squad with Germany.
