QUESTION:

QUESTION:
Do you know any Greek footballer?
ANSWER:
Yes, of course. Alexandros Tziolis was in our team last season, he is a nice guy. Besides we played against Panathinaikos and Olympiakos several times in the last years, so I know the players we've been playing with, e.g. Evangelos Mantzios or Giorgios Karagounis or Ieroklis Stoltidis, because they scored against us.

QUESTION:
What are you hobbies?
ANSWER:
I spend a lot of time with my family and I like model-helicopters and playing Golf.

QUESTION:
Who was the man that inspired you to become a great footballer?

QUESTION:
Who you believe was the best goalkeeper ever in Germany?
ANSWER:
As I have already said: That's hard to say, there were so many great keepers in different periods, it's hard to compare. Oliver Kahn was voted to be the best keeper in the world for three times (1999, 2001 and 2002), so he is definitely one of the best keepers in Germanys's football history but there were other great keepers too and we still have some great keepers.

QUESTION:
What was the best match in your career?
ANSWER:
There were some games, but one very special match. The match against Hamburger SV in the DFB-Cup-semifinal last season was extraordinary. It was a derby, the first of four matches against Hamburg within 19 days, we had to play in their stadium, but we won in the penalty shoot-out. I saved three penalties and we reached the final in Berlin , which we won later on.
