He was by far the worst in the Bundesliga when he : was here. Fair point. For a moment during the screw-job Chelsea received against Barcelona in the Champions League, I thought Ballack was going to strike Ovrebo (the referee who was so badly out of his depth). -- "Look at the way teams play against Arsenal.
