Kahn: I was convinced I would be playingBayern Munich goalkeeper Oliver Kahn still cannot work out why he has been dropped from his starting role for the German national team by manager Jurgen Klinsmann.
Speaking to German magazine Der Spiegel Kahn said: "Normally, I'd have expected a thorough explanation,"
"But as there hasn't been one up until now, there probably won't be one.
"Until recently, I was firmly convinced I would be playing.
"Every walk to the bench has been tough. I watch the game, try to form an impression of the action and then disappear into the changing room as fast as possible."
"I'm sorry, but do you replace the one who's been the number one for years when he's playing consistently because another keeper is supposed to be a 'tick' better? That's no justification for me.
"I've been playing right at the top level for the past two years, I've done well in my Champions League games, won the German league and German Cup twice, and have immense tournament experience.
"There was actually no reason to change the number one."
