"He's won a lot and was captain of the German national team. I've been with him since the U-16s, and it's been a perfect fit from the very first moment. He gives me tips, and I can learn from him."
"I'd say it's like with my father: if something hasn't gone so well, he gets in touch; if something has gone well, he doesn't. We talk to each other quite often."
Michael Ballack, a former Bayern Munich and Chelsea player who served as captain of the German national team, has returned to influence the club as an agent. He represents Lennart Karl, a promising academy prospect, through his agency Lucky 13 GmbH. Karl has been working with Ballack since the U-16 level and credits him as a mentor who provides valuable guidance and tips. Karl describes their relationship as similar to one with his father, where Ballack maintains contact primarily when issues arise, though they communicate frequently. This partnership demonstrates Ballack's continued involvement with Bayern Munich in a modern capacity.
