< ><STRONG><FONT size=4> oldi bites back at Ballack<br><br></FONT><FONT size=2>The rift between Germany captain Michael Ballack and striker Lukas Podolski has deepened, with the latter hitting back at public criticism by Ballack.</FONT></STRONG><br><br><FONT size=2> odolski was sent off during Germany's 2-0 friendly win over Georgia on Saturday, after which Ballack told the press: "He must do more [work]."<br><br>The 21-year-old then responded magnificently, capping an all-round impressive performance with two goals as Germany trounced in-form Slovakia 4-1 on Wednesday, and then hit back at Ballack's earlier criticism.<br><br>"I could also go and speak to 20 newspapers. But I don't do that.<br><br>"If I had a problem with Michael Ballack, then I would speak to him personally - and not through the media," said Podolski.<br><br>"If somebody has a problem, then he should come to me. Ballack didn't speak with me."<br><br>Ballack refuted this, claiming: "You only have to ask [Germany coach] Jogi Loew."<br><br>Goalkeeper Jens Lehmann came out in support of the young striker, commenting: "I didn't think it was good that Poldi was criticised in public."<br><br>It is not the first time Podolski has been told to undertake more work on the pitch. During the World Cup, strike partner Miroslav Klose pulled him aside, telling him he was too static at times.<br><br>The comments clearly had the desired effect, with Podolski scoring against Ecuador, then bagging a brace in the next match against Sweden.<br><br>World Cup top scorer Klose warned: "Only if he [Podolski] learns to take on board criticism, will he have a great career."</FONT></P>
