<span class="titolo">Kahn Slams Lehmann Over Arrogance Claims</span></p> <span class="sommario">Bayern Munich stalwart Oliver Kahn has hit back at Jens Lehmann, the Arsenal goalkeeper, who accused his former Germany teammate of self-importance...</span></p> Oliver Kahn hit back at Jens Lehmann in the latest round of 'handbags' between the German goalkeepers. Kahn debatably started the whole sorry affair with remarks given to the press regarding the state of German goalkeeping, the Bayern Munich veteran stating that there would most likely never be a goalie like Sepp Maier, Toni Schumacher, Bodo Illgner or, indeed, Oliver Kahn in the Nationalelf again. Lehmann hit back, his comments reigniting the undignified slanging match last week, with Kahn gleefully continuing it in an interview with Kicker most recently. He spluttered, "Perhaps rather than talk about former colleagues, he should be grateful he has the chance to play in the national team while he doesn't play for his club [Arsenal]. "That has never happened before in the history of German football." Indeed, the Arsenal 'keeper, plagued by good form, has recently lost his place in the Emirates side to Manuel Almunia, but remains number one at international level, Kahn having retired from the Nationalelf after last year's World Cup. Putting aside his own tribulations, Lehmann had stated that he was glad to see the back of King Kahn, sneering, "[Olvier] takes himself far too seriously and thinks that he is very important. "I don't like it when a man glorifies himself." Kahn, who garnered 86 caps for Germany between 1994 and 2006, is admittedly not one to shrink away from the limelight, but in any case one wonders if Lehmann's confidence may have taken a knock ahead of Saturday's clash between Germany and the Republic of Ireland in Dublin.</p> <span class="titolo"></span></p>
Oli Kahn may be old and ugly as sin to the point where bloody roadkill gets more action, but he's still a better keeper at his age then Lehmannwas at his very peak. Kahn should quit with the ignorance though, but Lehmann needs to shut it especially with how big his mouth is as of late.</p>
I agree, Kahn should retire already lol. But its not right of Lehmann to talk that way about Kahn, who is a legend and will always be remembered.</p>

Lehmann won't be the German #1 keeper for much longer. Expect him to be replaced full-time by the Schalke 04 youngster Manuel Neuer soon enough.</p>
Yeah, he's looking good, Neuer, and is young, so its good to get the experience now. Probably should have him for the Euro 08 that way he'd get ready for the world cup.</p>
