Ballack was offended by the proposal to say goodbye to the German national team © EuroFootball.com

Michael Ballack did not hide his frustration after Germany's national team coach Joachim Low offered him to say goodbye to the national team in a friendly match against Brazil.

A few days ago it was confirmed that the strategist will no longer use the services of the 34-year-old veteran, as he wants to rejuvenate the team.

"To name a match that was organized a long time ago as a farewell match is a farce," said Ballack. "I know I owe the fans one more game, but I can't accept this offer."

He represented his country as a midfielder 98 times and scored 42 goals.
