Ok - now everyone remember how I posted a article about Lell celebrating that he's going to be a father soon.....
Well....remember how it shortly mentions that there was drama between Lell and Ballack according to Lell himself.
That has caused some sparks on interest and Lell and has now elaborated on the whole situation (VERY vaguely however).
I've posted inside a article that BILD has written explaining everything more. I'll include a translation for non-german speakers.

Translation:
Professional Footballer Christian Lell (25) recently just transferred from FC Bayern Munich to Hertha BSC
His pregnant girlfriend Daniela (26 wks/6 Month) has moved with him to Berlin.
That itself is nothing spectacular. Lell however is causing for quite a stir, because he obviously has a problem with Leverkusen Star and National player Michael Ballack (33).
With mysterious accusations is Lell constantly bringing this into the open - without exactly saying whats going on. Or is he?
Lell last week in "Bunte":
'My private problems also had something to do with Michael Ballack. It's already being whispered about.
BUNTE asks: 'Does this have anything to do with the time out you and your girlfriend had at the end of last year?'
Lell: 'Yes, thats where Michael Ballack crossed the line, I think'
IT continues - '-Daniela and I have taken care of this amongst oursevles. We're happy about the baby.'
Lell yesterday in "Sport Bild":
'Michael Ballack did have his part to play that for months the time was hard for me, to get into the right gear. His behaviour can't be excused by anything. Michael Ballack has stepped over the line, and has acted as anything else except a Role Model.'
Stepped over the line? As acted as anything else except a role model?
Those are as harsh just as mysterious, accusations.
BILD continued pushing Lell: Why are you doing this?
Lell: 'Everyone lately has been asking me why I have for 3 months pulled myself out of the football business - if it had anything to do with Michael Ballack. The answer is: YES, Michael Ballack did have his part to play, that I was feeling very bad. He knows that to.'
What did Ballack supposdly do? When are you going to explain yourself clearly, Mr Lell?
Lell: 'In prespective to our child, that Daniela and I are expecting, and our family it just wouldn't be good of me, if I'd just lay out all indiviual incidents in the open. I'll decide when its the right point. Not everyone is like Michael Ballack, who believes, that he can do what ever he wants, that just enters into the private lives of others and destroys everything, without thinking much about it - but perhaps this is what DFB-captains think like.'
Lells- Girlfriend Daniela to BILD: 'I can't say anything to that at the moment. Call again in a hour.'
But then she doesn't pick up the phone anymore.
Ballack didn't want to say anything yesterday.
TBC....
Thoughts anyone??
This sounds really serious, and before the WC 2010, rumours were flying about Michael Ballack over here in England. About his relationship with the younger players, his captaincy style and his unpopularity in the own German camp.
Supposdly he was a bit of a dictator and told the young guys what to do all the time, on and off the pitch.
Someone that no one could talk to. According also to sources inside the team.
Which have been supported by small qoutes. Like that one time Loew said :"Lahm is a captain that is approachble."
Or something like that, don't know if it was quite him.
But then also that press confrence where Ballack was talking about Lahm wanting to keep the captaincy, and Ballack said: "This isn't a wish concert. Nothing in the National team is!"
Raises many questions, I always did see him as a bit of a bully. But these bring everything into a new light.
Many people reckon now, that perhaps Dani and Ballack had a affair and the baby is his. Because the way Lell keeps mentioning the baby.
SO MUCH DRAMA!! XDD
