As for the long dispute in this forum, I can say that in my opinion Kahn certainly can be ranked amongst Yashin and Zoff

And comparing Kahn to Maier ?
Who is the best ?

Oliver Kahn warned his Bayern Munich team-mates after the defending Bundesliga champions slipped to their second straight away defeat following their 1-0 loss at Wolfsburg.

Mike Hanke ended his long goal drought after 14 games with the winning goal of a hard-fought game in which Bayern failed to convert their dominance into goals.

“We played like s*** today. We were fully focused and showed a world-class performance when we were 2-0 winners at Inter in midweek, but you also have to give 100 percent against opposition such as Bielefeld or Wolfsburg or you won’t be able to win," warned Kahn.

"Our attitude is something we have to think about in the future."

Wolfsburg’s win eased the pressure on coach Klaus Augenthaler, whose team rose from bottom spot to 14th.

“There’s nothing better than winning against Bayern after you gave your outmost during the full 90 minutes,” insisted Augenthaler.

I Fear they have lost respect For Kahn. I dunnot what it is But the Chemistry is not there, this is bad News.

Not that they lost respect for Kahn, but the new players don't play hard enough.
In this last game, most of them didn't do half of what they did against Inter, they don't car much about the Bundesliga games, since they haven't had competition for a long time.

Kahn missed training

Oliver Kahn missed Sunday's training session as well. According to Felix Magath, Kahn should be fit in time for Wednesday's DFB Cup match against 1. FC Kaiserslautern.

"I expect him back in training on Monday", the FCB Head Coach said.

Good game by the "Titan", though he was outraged at the end of the game, kicked the ball with fury!
Bayern 0 - 0 Sporting

**jec1** · 01-11-2006, 04:44 AM

Yes, I Must admit he is that Damn Good. But Sporting had there chances and again somehow could not score a Goal.

**Oliver_Kahn** · 01-11-2006, 12:18 PM

Oliver Kahn was good when needed and saved 2 or 3 shots.
But I have to admit that Sporting had the edge and deserved to win.

Reaction to Bayern v Sporting Lisbon:

Oliver Kahn: "It wasn't a great game by any means. It wasn't at all easy against the diminutive, mobile Portuguese. You'll always get games where nothing really works out. But if their shot hadn't hit the bar, it could have ended in a 1-0 defeat and we'd have been in trouble. We knew Sporting would give it their best shot, because they were aware Inter had won in Moscow. They ha nothing more to lose, and made life difficult for us."

Oliver Kahn was the last Bayern man out of the dressing room after half-time last Wednesday. Practically all ten of his team-mates, already in position for the restart, received a personal exhortation or high-five from the giant keeper as he made his way back to the goal in front of the north stand, where he roused the crowd with a clenched fist salute. For a time, the decibel level at the Allianz Arena soared.

Kahn's role as captain and chief motivator in the dressing room can hardly have been more important over the years than at the present time. "I have a lot more work to do than I did last season or the season before that, when everything took care of itself. It makes my job a lot more challenging and demanding," the 37-year-old told a news conference on the morning after Bayern's shock 1-0 home reverse against Hanover 96, Munich's first home defeat to a club lying bottom of the Bundesliga in 21 years.

Facing the press

Kahn offered the crowd of newsmen gathered at the Säbener Strasse an illuminating glimpse of the kind of questions currently weighing on the players' minds in the dressing room. "As a team, we're asking ourselves why we can't translate our intentions into action. We were fired up and we wanted an emphatic victory." In the event, the champions looked worryingly devoid of inspiration, desire and running.

"The fact is we were not at all good in the first half. We tried a lot harder in the second, but we got nothing for it." The keeper was unable to offer a simple explanation for the dismal display – and in any case, dissecting and analysing the match was a behind-closed-doors matter, he insisted: "There's no point sounding off in front of the media. We have to think positively. We mustn't fall into the trap of listening too hard to the criticism, and increasing the level of negativity around here."

Precarious situation

The midweek results have left Bayern a full six points off leaders Bremen, a state of affairs Kahn frankly acknowledged as fraught with danger. "It's a very precarious and difficult situation for the team, and the team is fully aware of the fact we're in trouble in the Bundesliga," he stated, factually and without a hint of losing his cool.

The skipper continues to believe he and his men can claim the championship crown, as it was far too early to review that ambition with only eleven games played. "We have the quality and the potential to make a decisive push for the title at any point this season." The former Germany international called on his team-mates and everyone at the club to pull closer together: "We have a responsibility to extract ourselves from the position we're in."

Knuckling down

A winning streak would seem the perfect answer in the circumstances. Kahn declared himself delighted with the club's packed schedule. "Thank the Lord we're off to Leverkusen on Saturday, so we can get back on course straight away," he remarked, knowing his qualities as a captain would be needed to the full up to that point: "It's time we knuckled down in the Bundesliga."

Oli Kahn will still play next season, though he is unreplaceble.
