A Quote by Michael Ballack

A player can't request on what position he wants to play, and it is the same with the captaincy. One should respect this, there are hierarchies. — © Michael Ballack
A player can't request on what position he wants to play, and it is the same with the captaincy. One should respect this, there are hierarchies.
You should never want to be a one position player. If you're a real basketball player, you should be able to play any position. That's the difference between really good players and average players.
It's up to the manager where and how every player should play, but I think every player should be comfortable in that position.
Either a player accepts competition or they say they absolutely need to play. For a player to have an open door, I have to have, at the same position, an element that is just as good or even better.
I think it's related. Batting and captaincy or bowling or captaincy. If you are doing your job well as a batsman, then the same confidence comes in to what you do as a leader.
Every player at Bayern Munich wants to play and should play - they all have good reasons.
Captaincy did not change me as a player whatsoever, when I had the ball in my hand, I operated in the same manner like I always do.
You're going to play good. You're going to play bad. But as long as I stay healthy, I should be happy. Every player should feel the same way.
Every player, they should sit down and have a meeting. They should agree, 'this is how we play Nadal, this is how we play Federer, this is how we play Djokovic.' Then, all try to play them the same way. The right way. First you have to play the right way, then you need to play well.
Whatever player Arsene picks to play for Arsenal, I respect that and so should the fans.
In Spain, people do not respect the players, the same in Italy. In England, it looks like a different world - the people admire the player, but also respect the player.
Respect is the most essential thing about captaincy. Respect between the captain and players is important. It is give and take.
It's great to be compared to a great player like Tracy McGrady, but I think I'm my own type of player. I'm 6'10" and a bit bigger than he is as a player. I also think I'm a bit different and play a different position. He's more of a guard, and I can play all around through five.
Our first thought growing up was that we want to be together always so we didn't want to play the same position. You see a lot of twins play the same position because they are so alike. That was a big thing for us that we taught ourselves, and luckily it ended up paying off.
So I made a request. I said to the writers, I have a minor request that I just want to play a loser.
I think the thing that he wants even more that would solidify his position would be a couple championships. Hopefully we can get that done. Peyton Manning is already in the conversation of the greatest player to ever play and if he wins one or two more, he probably ends up being the greatest quarterback to ever play the game.
Every position is a bit different, but for a young player it's important to be able to play different positions, to see the game in a different view, to learn of every position. Because you need different skills, and it's perfect for a young player to develop.
