虽然德国队在30日同日本队的热身赛中比较狼狈地以2：2同对手握手言和，但效力于阿森纳队的德国1号门将莱曼仍然对德国队在世界杯上的前途充满信心。

　　Jens Lehmann is confident that Germany will be at concert pitch for the start of the World Cup finals. Germany stuttered to a 2-2 draw with Japan on Tuesday, with the home defence ripped to shreds on numerous occasions.

　　莱曼表示：“当然我们需要不断改进。现阶段我们在比赛中犯错误也是正常的。我们很清楚哪些地方需要改进。其他球队在备战阶段也面临着同样的问题，当然我希望十天以后我们不会再犯同样的错误。你们(英国人)知道，我们德国人总是能在大赛中有惊人的表现，特别是当我们不被人们看好的时候。也正是这一点，人们才对德国队另眼相看。”

　　"Of course we have to improve, but it is normal that we make some mistakes at this stage," said Lehmann.

　　"We know where we can improve. Other teams have the same problems at this stage of their preparations, but I would prefer us to not commit the same mistakes again in 10 days. "

　　"You (the English) know that we are capable of delivering in a tournament, especially when no one expects anything from us.

　　"That is why you admire us."

　　莱曼表示就他自己而言，目前也还没有达到最佳状态，但相信在6月2日同哥伦比亚队热身的时候，表现一定会有所改进。“在同日本队的下半场比赛中，我感到有些疲劳。”他说：“这对我来说是很不寻常的。近期我的训练比较苦，体力有所下降，希望能在2日感觉好些。虽然目前我还没有百分之百地恢复到最佳状态，但我有信心不久就会恢复到巅峰状态。”

　　Lehmann also revealed that he is not at his sharpest, but feels he will improve for another friendly outing against Colombia on Friday.

　　He added: "I felt a little tired in the second half, which is quite unusual for me.

　　"I have worked hard in practice and hope to feel a little better on Friday.

　　"Right now I am not back at 100 percent, but I am confident I will be soon."(文/蒋黎黎)
