Ballack: Team should be blamed not Scolari

Scolari was sacked from his job as Chelsea manager on Monday.

“It is a shame because he had not been with us for a long time,” Ballack told the German website www.sport1.de.

“Of course there was some criticism and we did not get the results we all would have wanted, but that is not the manager’s fault but the team’s.

“Something like this is always uncomfortable.”
