Germany National Football Team has organized a press conference on behalf of National legend Michael Ballack's appointment as the team's manager.
German Football Post: This is your first stint at managing a team. You created magic in the field, but can we see the magic in the bench?
Michael Ballack: I was ecstatic when they(Germany FA) offered me the job. I had a wonderful career here, and I had the opportunity to captain this fantastic side.
Ich bin sehr stolz, in dieser position zu sein und hoffentlich Tradition der Nation weiter. I am very proud to be here.
German Football Post: Former manager Joachim Low was a fan favourite. Will you be the best replacemant or not?
Michael Ballack: Joachim is a fantastic manager. He has led The Die Nationlmannschaft to World Cup glory. I will do my best to continue from where he finished.
German Football Post:Germany have a good amount of youth at their disposal. Can you utilise them to full effect or are you prepared to use experience?
Michael Ballack.: We have a good amount of youth at our disposal. Youth players are very important to Germany's future. They are the next generation of The World Champions. But most of our senior players are young, Thomas(Muller)is only 25, but he has plenty of international experience and Mezut(Ozil) too. I will mix youth with experience. I am closely looking on Jonas Hector for my next squad. He has put up a string of good performances recently and I will be looking to add him into my next squad to face Gibraltar.
Jonas Hector will be earning his first Germany cap against Gibraltar
