Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack was a job to mark at the 2002 World Cup because of his bad body odour, legendary goalie Jose Luis Chilavert has claimed.
The Paraguayan shot-stopper had a TV studio in stitches after telling them the German international stank when the two sides met in the second round.
Germany ended the South American nation's dreams of glory with an 88-minute goal.
Eccentric Chilavert, nicknamed the Bulldog, recalled during an interview on sports TV channel ESPN that teammate Estanislao Struway had the job of marking Ballack.
