Lehmann tribute to Arsenal

Lehmann tribute to Arsenal

Former goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has paid tribute to Arsenal by saying that the North London club allowed him to achieve his dreams as a top footballing professional.

Lehmann, who is currently on national duty at the European Championships and has just signed for German club VfB Stuttgart, also said that he has a lot of respect for manager Arsène Wenger, even if the two didn't always agree with one another.

The German number one said: "I experienced a lot of disappointment and a kind of anger last season.

"Being substitute annoys me, as did watching Arsenal waste all of their chances to win the title.

"Arsène Wenger knows I have not been happy with his decisions. But he knows I have learnt from him. I have always felt drawn towards him.

"Arsenal will remain a beautiful experience in my life. Both on a sporting and personal level, I reached the top there."
