Kahn renews bitter rivalry with German keeper Lehmann

OLIVER KAHN has renewed his rivalry with Jens Lehmann despite being retired from international football.

Lehmann criticised Kahn in Spiegel magazine, saying he does not like the way the Bayern keeper considers “himself to be so important”.

That was in reaction to Kahn’s comments that there would never again be an era like his in which one goalkeeper is the dominant German number one. With Lehmann’s place in doubt after Manuel Almunia took his place at Arsenal, Kahn has taken the opportunity to have another swipe at the 37-year-old.
