Oliver Kahn - Retired, legendary Bayern goalkeeper

[Oliver_Kahn]

What about all the other crucial saves he made ?

[Trim]

Meh, not many. But anyway, Kahn is not to be blamed about this ugly season. Every repart is guilty.

[Oliver_Kahn]

Yeah with that I agree, although I think all this criticism towards Kahn is pathetic.

And that article you posted, well I've made my comments. Fucking joke

BERLIN, May 14: German sex toy company Beate Uhse has been ordered to pay 50,000 euros (65,000 dollars) in damages to two German football stars after selling vibrators named for them during last year's World Cup.

Football players Michael Ballack and Oliver Kahn reached an agreement with the company in their case before a court in northern Hamburg on Friday.

The company sold special World Cup edition vibrators called "Michael B.," referring to the Chelsea player and captain of the German national team, and "Olli K.," in reference to the Bayern Munich and former Germany goalkeeper, in three shops.

The two players had initially asked for 60,000 euros (81,000 dollars) in damages.

Crazy stuff

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Oliver Kahn has blamed a lack of hunger amongst the club's players for their failure this season.

Bayern will finish fourth after a poor term by their high standards, and while current coach Ottmar Hitzfeld felt it was mostly due to not adequately replacing departed stars Michael Ballack and Ze Roberto, Kahn thinks the squad are to blame.

"The players could have been hungrier," he declared in Bild Sport. "We have a situation which we must be careful about - it can start with one season and stay for longer, at which point it becomes harder to deal with.

"We need to bounce back immediately by triumphing next season."

He also pointed out that, while Bayern may be the "recordmeister" in Germany football, reputation counts for nothing in the modern game:

"Success is not history," he continued. "It does not continue automatically, forever."

Kahn, 37, lost his place as Germany number one to Jens Lehmann of Arsenal but is expected to wear the gloves for his club for at least the next season.

Coach Ottmar Hitzfeld has promised sweeping changes and 86-times capped Kahn is keen to see the side develop a tougher backbone, in keeping with the side that won three back-to-back Bundesliga titles between 1991 and 2001.

"This has been a wasted season," Kahn told German magazine Sports-Bild.

"You see it in training, we play four-on-four games for nearly an hour and there are no fouls. I ask myself, where is the aggression, footballers need to be aggressive," said Kahn, whose side conclude their season against Mainz 05 on Saturday.

Bayern are recruiting hard with Alemannia Aachen striker Jan Schlaudraff, who is on the fringes of the German side, Schalke 04's Turkish midfielder Hamit Altintop and Argentinian midfielder Jose Ernesto Sosa confirmed signings for next season.

But Kahn said whoever comes in must bring plenty of aggression and hard work.

"We need players like (French defender Bixente) Lizarazu and (German midfielder Stefan) Effenberg to give the side a tough edge again," said Kahn.

"You have to be a bit of a dirty bastard sometimes in football. I have been criticised severly for many things which I have done in my career.

"And sometimes you have to do these things to be successful."

A fourth-placed finish in the Bundesliga is a poor return for the 20-times German champions and Kahn says the notion Bayern have a divine right to success is dangerous.

"We have to work very hard to put things right next season, if we have another year like this one, it will just make things more difficult to get back on track," he said.

"Just because we have been successful in the past does not give us the right to do so in the future.

"In a team like Bayern when things go wrong, it needs four or five players who can grab the shovels and dig us out of a difficult situation, people who are ready to get their hands dirty."

Don't bother arguing mate, it's useless. If Kahn was English or Italian or if he played for Milan or Man Utd, he would be the best ever

[BlackNess]

Yeah mate ..
you are right

[Oliver_Kahn]

I like your style and the fact that you have argued for Kahn, you deserve a rep
