SOCCER: "I AM TOTALLY COMMITTED TO CHELSEA”- MICHAEL BALLACK August 6, 2007
(SomaliNet) Michael Ballack insists he does not want to quit Chelsea for Real Madrid.
Ballack, 30, has been linked with the Spanish giants after failing to live up to expectations during his first season in England.
But the German midfielder, who is currently recovering from ankle surgery, has ruled out a move to La Liga.
He said: "I am totally committed to Chelsea.
"I came here a year ago to win trophies and be successful in English football — I want to assure the Chelsea fans of that.
"I am very happy in London professionally and for my family.
"The speculation about me leaving is not true. I have no interest in leaving Chelsea and I have had no contact with Real Madrid whatsoever.
"I am frustrated by my injury at the moment but I am working hard to be fit and hope to be back very soon to join my team-mates." –The Sun
