Germany coach Joachim Löw is having a headache after seeing some of his goalkeepers making mistakes over recent weeks. René Adler of Bayer Leverkusen had a high profile ‘schoolboy error’ – with Tim Wiese and Manuel Neuer waiting in the wings.

However, never discount our peeing lemon – Jens Lehmann, still at a mature 40.

“Somebody like me would be perfect for the World Cup.”

“In the beginning, Roman, perhaps, thought it was easy to win. He now knows it’s not.”

After yesterday’s win over Chelsea, you would expect Inter manager José Mourinho aka His Mourinhity aka The Special One to provide more words of wisdom. True enough, His Mourinhity showed why he is not far behind Eric Cantona, with more quotes to match.

“Yesterday someone asked me if I would still be special if I lost here,” he said. “But today I’m not so special for Chelsea supporters who will probably never forgive me. It was difficult coming to my home as an enemy, but that is what happened. I exchanged SMS messages with John Terry yesterday [and] told him one of us would be sad today. That’s life.”

“Roman is a very intelligent person and because of that he’s not the same person that he was when he arrived in football. Probably he thought it would be easy when he first arrived in football. It’s not easy. It’s difficult. Teams win on small details which make the difference. He knows it’s not easy now. He knows now how to read a game, understand a game, analyse the game and knows his team lost against a side who deserved to win. He’s a man of class, so he will accept this defeat because he knows Inter were the best team.”

“This [Chelsea] is a team that lost a semi-final with a goal that was not a goal [in 2005], lost a semi-final on penalties [2007], lost a final on penalties [2008], lost a semi-final in a game that they should have won 3-0 with three penalties that were not given [last year],” said Mourinho. “This is the story of this club and the story of these players. This is their history – one of frustration.”

“They had the ambition to go through and they were frustrated because, immediately, they felt that Inter were the best team. I’m not saying Inter are better than them. I’m saying that, today, Inter were much better than Chelsea, from the first minute to the last minute, and that brought frustration to their players, great professionals and great people. My people will always be my people. But today I was the enemy. And the enemy won. That’s life.“

Evidently, despite being an Inter manager, Mourinho is clear about where his heart belongs.

“I’m very happy because I won. I’m not very happy because they lost. I’m very happy because my players are happy, my supporters are happy, my president is happy, and because I worked so much for this game. As a professional, that’s the best feeling you can have. I’m not happy because my ex-players or Roman lost, or that Chelsea supporters go home sad. I’m not happy about their unhappiness. But that’s life.“
