Former Arsenal and Germany goalkeeper says he was left 鈥渟urprised鈥� by the reliance of English players on coaches to guide them through difficult situations.

Lehmann, who spent six years at Arsenal in two spells, says German players have a more independent mentality.

鈥淲hen an English player doesn鈥檛 really know what to do or needs help he seeks help from his coach. As a German player you could never do that because you cannot expect help from your coach, you have to sort it out yourself,鈥� he said.

鈥淭hat was a surprise experience for me when some English players explained that they expect their manager to help them. In Germany you don鈥檛 do that, you sort it yourself or you are out,鈥� he added.
