The order is Kahn, Lehmann, Hildebrand at the moment but it can all change,
Luxembourg are a good opponent for our World Cup preparation. We will train hard in Geneva before the game.
Lehmann, Kahn and Hildebrand have all improved this season,
Perhaps it is unusual for some goalkeepers but we have to be prepared if someone gets injured. This system stimulates competition and gives everyone a fair chance.
Didi will be staying in England for the next few weeks so find his rhythm with Liverpool,
Of course we're disappointed -- we had high hopes and there were smashed within the first minutes. It was a frustrating lesson for us, but we believe in this team and we believe in the young players. We're confident that everything will work in 100 days.
Almost a year ago, in August, Oliver was in front but Jens has played very well these last few months, since the start of the season, and now he is ahead of Oliver. We think he is a tiny bit better.
A victory would offer us the opportunity to show the world who we are. We have the possibility to redefine Germany: to create a brand.
And then '74 as I mentioned and then the 1990 world cup was our team was the team of the reunification you know, so we were the team for both sides of Germany so now, you know throughout the last 16 years, we've melted together. And now comes the next milestone.
In 16, 17 years as a pro I was used to the head coach doing it alone. He might have asked his people for advice, but he made the decisions on his own. In order to learn quickly I couldn't do that.
If the national coach lets decisions be made from outside, he's lost the team.
We cannot win this World Cup, because we are not at that level yet. For us, we have to play the game of our lives seven times to win the tournament.
I train for one-and-a-half hours every day in order to keep my energy level high.
The young generation has a different curiosity that is more visual.
