The Screamer: Lehmann denies making obscene gesture to Germany fans - 19 Nov 2007
Jens Lehmann has denied making an obscene gesture to Germany fans who called for local goalkeeper Robert Enke to replace him during their 4-0 win over Cyprus in Hanover.
TV pictures showing Lehmann scratching his temple with one finger have been interpreted as insulting by German media.
But the Arsenal keeper said: "It's nonsense. I've never done anything like that." Lehmann was praised for his display by Germany coach Joachim Low. Low said: "His performance was not at all surprising to me because we know that Jens can find his concentration right when he needs it. "He can also call up such a performance even when he has not played for a long time." |
