Lehmann Lashes Out at Wenger
German goalkeeper Jens Lehmann is using his team’s advancing to the finals of Euro 2008 as reason to lash out at Arsene Wenger. Wenger benched Lehmann half-way through last year’s Premiership campaign, a slight Lehmann has never gotten over. Lehmann has since moved on from Arsenal to Stuttgart, where he’ll play his club football next season.
Far be it for me to tell a player to take a benching lightly, but the timing of Lehmann’s crack at Wenger is curious. Yes, his team is in the final, but it is not on Lehmann’s shoulders. Lehmann is riding on the tailgate for this one, lucky to jump on the truck as it drives by. His performance against Turkey was shaky, looking lost on many occasions. If anything, Euro 2008 has affirmed Lehmann is no longer to the level of starting goaltender for an elite club.
