Germany skipper Michael Ballack has taken the time to praise Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Reigning German champions Bayern Munich have been struggling to find their best form in the 2010-11 campaign but this hasn't affected the form of influential midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The Germany international single handedly helped Bayern past Werder Bremen in the DFB Pokal and put in some impressive performances in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League too.
His excellent form didn't go unnoticed by Bayer Leverkusen star Michael Ballack and the Germany international is full of praise for Schweinsteiger.
"I'm very impressed with what Bastian Schweinsteiger has shown so far this term. Despite playing at the World Cup and going through a difficult period with Bayern, he always makes his mark on the game if he plays, "said Ballack to Kicker.
"He has great charisma, a good personality, performs well and scores important goals. Everything is going just perfect for him. He takes his responsibilities and is currently in a phase of his career where he's nearing top form."
And: ""Of course every footballer is attracted to certain things and Bastian will feel these also. But there are not that many big clubs around and Bayern is one of them.
"On the other hand, Real or Man United are both attractive and he would fit in well at both clubs."
