I am with ballack, he can hit goals out of nowhere he has a never die attitude. In the champions league final he was trying hard to score, almost got a penalty for Chelsea. He is a legend
Why are we comparing these 2? (just curious, no offense) They don't really have much in common.... I would say both are legends, but Jay-Jay Okocha takes the cake, he's just more talented in more ways than Ballack is. As they used to say "He's so good, they named him twice", hence Jay-Jay. Both can execute from free-kicks and has the pure skill to build midfield to attack. But if your talking about influence, Ballack is more influential, because he's the captain of the German National Team, big honour and big responsibility....
Yamsy is correct up there. Now that I think about it we're comparing an attacking offensive mid fielder to a central midfielder who is more of a play maker. Jay-Jay just dribbles and does the best he can using mostly his own skills and Ballack uses more of his leadership, but does score here and there
