Lehmann accepts ‘humiliation’Confident Arsenal keeper Jens Lehmann says he has to accept the ‘humiliating’ situation he is enduring at the club.
Lehmann, who is playing second fiddle to Spaniard Manuel Almunia, since returning from injury, said: "It could be that at some point I feel like commenting on the whole issue,"
"But right at the moment I just accept everything as part of the humiliation. You have to let it happen.
"But I think - and this is directed towards my dear coach - that you should not humiliate players for too long. I am an Arsenal player and I will not just fade away quietly."
"I am convinced I will soon be playing again. Almunia hasn't shown that he can win us matches just yet. I have been through this situation once and know how the other keeper is situated mentally. I can't imagine he will handle this.
"Wenger has spoken of three world-class goalies. I guess I must be one of them. The others have proven their class by winning titles? I'm just thinking about it, and I can't recall any. But yet today they are considered world class."
