Khan slams Klinsmann
Oliver Kahn has launched an attack on coach Jurgen Klinsmann after being consigned to the role of Germany's number two goalkeeper at the World Cup, admitting he would "never understand" the decision to hand Arsenals Jens Lehmann the starting job.
Television pictures of Germanys 2-0 second-round victory over Sweden confirmed that a grim-faced Kahn was not enjoying himself at the end of the German bench. The 37-year-old has kept his disappointment to himself since Germany started their preparations in mid-May, but has now publicly bemoaned his fate.
"There was talk he (Lehmann) was supposedly better than me, but do you replace a long-time number one, who is playing constantly, just because someone else is a 'tick' better?," he told Spiegel magazine. "That is no explanation for me. And since there has been none as of today, there is probably none. I told him I could never understand why I am not the number one anymore."
