Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack is excited by the prospect of working with Luiz Felipe Scolari.
"Massive disappointment followed the last campaign. It was hard to stomach. But you find out what you and your team-mates are made of when something like that happens.
"I think bringing in Scolari is a real statement of intent by the club. From what I hear he has a great relationship with his players and strongly believes in the team rather than the individual.
"And when you have won the World Cup, your qualifications don't come much bigger, do they?"
