Real Madrid midfielder Khedira throws down Ballack challenge: Your time is up!
Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira has thrown down a challenge to Germany teammate Michael Ballack.
Khedira says it's time the former Chelsea midfielder, now of Bayer Leverkusen, stepped aside.
"In his career, Michael Ballack has done much for German football and has produced several excellent performances at major tournaments," said Khedira.
"But with all due respect to him, that may no longer matter.
"I know that I do not have to hide, and can bring to the national team my own style and, hopefully, success."

dont like both of them..
Sami Khedira has just moved to a big team now.. He was on the bench in the first match.. I don't think it's appropriate for him to say anything regarding this issue.. It's too early to discount Micheal Ballack.. His presence in the team itself is a major boost.. The ruthless, committed & passionate captain..
While he's technically correct, I mean he is younger and has more years left to play for Germany than Ballack, his attitude is completely disrespectful. I guess eventually someone will teach this whelp a lesson.
