Ballack defends Lennart Karl and hits back at Bayern

According to kicker, Michael Ballack, agent of Lennart Karl, has strongly defended the young player after the criticism from Uli Hoeneß and Max Eberl, the top officials at Bayern München. Ballack did not limit himself to answering the two executives: he also levelled accusations at the club itself. The response opens a clash between the player's camp and the Bavarian leadership that, for now, is playing out in public statements.
