Chelsea and Germany Great Insists England Need Just One More Player to Compete at the World Cup

Michael Ballack has voiced his opinion on the reason behind England's constant failure on the international stage.

The former Chelsea and Germany star has a wealth of experience when it comes to international football and winning trophies (albeit at club level) so he should know a thing or two as it relates.

Ballack, despite playing in the 2002 World Cup final, never won anything with Germany. But his advice to England does seem sound. Speaking ahead of the Three Lions' friendly against Germany on Friday, the ex-midfielder pointed out that there is no real strategist in England's midfield.
