Ballack vill vinna
Efter förra årets besvikelser är Ballack sugen att vinna en pokal.
Efter att förlorat både Carling Cup, Champions League och Premier League på målsnöret förra säsongen är Michael Ballack otroligt sugen att vinna pokaler den här säsongen och tror att det fullt möjligt under Guus Hiddink.
"The team are hungry after finishing runners-up three times last season. sa Ballack till Evening Standard
"We are not a team who have won everything in the past. If you compare us to Liverpool, they have had big success.
"But now we are smelling the success. We are coming close to winning something. This club needs a big title to go further and that's what we are trying for.
"I want to win something. I have a few years ahead but I will give everything for the rest of the season to win one, two or three trophies."
Om matchen mot Arsenal säger mittfältaren så här.
"We want to show Arsenal we can beat them after what happened before. We were controlling the game until they scored an offside goal.
"Getting to the Champions League semi-final has given us a confidence boost going into another big game. Arsenal have a squad and a team that can play football but sometimes they can be up and down.
"That is why they are sometimes not at the top of the league but, if they play at their highest level, they can play fantastic football."
