Short description
852 minutes without conceding goal - Champions League record
Jens Lehmann writes about his career in the Bundesliga, the national team and top international football. About his experiences, disasters, victories and triumphs. Through his clubs, fellow players and coaches, about success strategies in top sport.
He is twice voted the best goalkeeper in Europe. He is German and English champion, European vice-champion and has won the UEFA Cup. In a Champions League season, he scores an incredible 852 minutes without conceding a goal. Jens Lehmann is one of the most successful goalkeepers of recent decades - and one of the most unconventional. He has never taken the simplest or most obvious path, he has always sought challenges that challenge not only the footballer, but the human being Jens Lehmann and take him far beyond the football pitch. Now this extraordinary sportsman takes stock and writes about his career in the Bundesliga, the national team, the Italian Seria A and the English Premier League.
Open, unreserved and with his own dry humour, Jens Lehmann not only talks about his great successes, but also about his formative defeats and the dead ends into which he has sometimes been led by his willingness to take risks and the adherence to his convictions. He reviews the stages of a career that took him from Schalke via Dortmund to Milan, London and finally to Stuttgart. He writes about the inner life of major European clubs, about his teammates, coaches and rivals such as Oliver Kahn, whom he pushes out of the goal of the national team with great achievements and perseverance. At the 2006 World Cup, Jens Lehmann becomes one of the heroes of the summer fairy tale; in his book he explains the secret of this team as well as his legendary paperwork from the historic penalty shootout against Argentina.
