Comments and observetions from Germany 1. Olaf Thon :( Ex-German national player and expert commentator of n-tv): It is the result which matters.Bayern München has won the match, however the high temperature and humidity had hindered their potential. ...... This game was indeed very interesting and had offered everything. Emotions often run high in football matches and this ended up in an unpleasant situation., where the red card had to be shown.......... Oliver Kahn would have preferred to be more active at the goal in order to demonstrate his skills. 2. Robin Dutt:(Trainer of FC Freiburg - 2nd Divn Bundesliga): It is not always the result , but the quality of the game that counts in such an Exhibition match.Mohun Bagan has indeed one or two players who could find a place in the second Division of the German football League (2. Bundes Liga) 3. Dibyendu Choudhuri(Honorary reporter for Kick-Off from Germany ) Mohun Bagan had indeed played better than expected and may be the performance would have been still better with its full strength.Indian football should be more motivated and build up on this performance. 4.Arup Banerjee: As an Indian I was proud to know that Oliver Kahn had chosen Calcutta for his farewell match. But it was very dissapointing to watch that he was almost heckled on all sides by officials , as a result of which he was unable to express his feelings and show his emotions. Afterall this was his farewell match and we had expected something more. 5. Andy Müller: After watching the entire game I feel sorry for the Indian spectators at Salt Lake Stadium, because they did not get to see the power, speed and skill of Bayern München. It was more of a relaxed exhibition match ,and not a proper game with Bayern´s full potential.Indeed there is enough reason for the Indian spectators to be dissapointed with Bayern´s performance. 6. Mahua Ghosh : I was ashamed as an Indian to watch the behaviour of the club officials at the present giving ceremony to Oliver Kahn.The ceremony lacked decency. The officials , instead of handing over the presents to Oliver Kahn, themselves grabbed the presents and held it aloft. This demonstrates the lack of etiquette on the part of the club management. My appeal - the club officials need to undergo intensive training in behavioural pattern and international ettiquette, so that the next time they put up a better show. Bavarian delight in Bengal 28.05.2008 :Abhishek Bhattacharyya & Sudipta Sur :Cries of “Danke Oli” (Thank You Oli), “Oli Kahn, der Titan” (Oli Kahn, the Titan) and “Bayern Munchen” are common chants accompanying FC Bayern Munchen wherever the German giants ply their trade. But on the evening of 27th May, 2008 these chants had an altogether different impact coming from a different set of people. Far away from the illuminated rubber dinghy, that is, the Allianz Arena in Munich, a certain section of the Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata was transformed into a supporter base for FC Hollywood! Thanks to The Goethe Institut, Max Mueller Bhavan, Kolkata, the Bavarians found a home away from home. In a truly noble gesture Max Mueller Bhavan, Kolkata, organised a grand reception for their German friends. Led by Dr Reimar Volker (Director), Axel Rahmlow, Sonjoy Bose and others, students of the institute, both present and former, were imparted training a few days before D-Day. When the moment actually arrived the practice bore fruit. A 50 member contingent was at the venue carrying out their duties admirably. While a few students were at the ground others were at the gallery just behind one of the goalposts strutting out colourful banners which read “Danke Oli” and “Oli Kahn, der Titan” along with the “Goethe Institut Max Mueller Bhavan” banner. Those inside the ground were all attention to Axel Rahmlow, who was coordinating the entire event with admirable finesse. After performing a few rehearsals the moment of reckoning ultimately arrived! With the Bayern players coming out of the tunnel vociferous cries of “Oli Kahn, der Titan” accompanied by drum beats reverberated around the Stadium! The cries grew louder by the moment with FC Bayern TV, Zee Sports and a few other television channels covering it live. When the players were through with their practice it was time once again for the boys and girls from MMB, dressed in smart looking t-shirts (which had “Danke Oli” in front and “…und Auf Wiederseehen” – “and goodbye” at the back) to roar at the top of their voices. For many it was a dream taking the shape of reality when Kahn, on his way back to the tunnel, waved his hands with a smiling look at the contingent! Many others such as Ottmar Hitzfeld, Uli Hoeness and company nodded approvingly at the over enthusiastic team. The party atmosphere continued even after the kick-off. With Bayern dominating proceedings in the match, the entire MMB team who were seated in Block D, just behind Oliver Kahn’s goal, turned into raptures everytime a member of the Munich team touched the ball. Axel Rahmlow egged on all the students to continue their vociferous stuff, while he himself was the master at work with his drum. The beats of the drum accompanied by the chants proved to be music to the ears for all fans (irrespective of which side they were supporting)! The half-time break was the moment everyone was awaiting with bated breath. Oliver Kahn, in his farewell match, was given a rousing reception by the capacity crowd at the Yuba Bharati Krirangan. The legendary goalkeeper was felicitated by notable dignitaries. The “Champion” was moved by the entire programme and thanked one and all – “Thank you very much for this great night.” “Thank you very much indeed, Oli” and “Thanks a ton” to all the members of Max Mueller Bhavan, Kolkata who made this dream become a reality! Football fanatics live for days like these and we’re all grateful to the staff of MMB for this glorious opportunity bestowed upon us. Sometimes during moments of sheer ecstasy, it’s really difficult to express feelings in words; much is the same case with us. But, one thing is for sure, all of us, who were part of this grand programme, can safely conclude that 27th May, 2008 would always remain a “Red Letter Day” for times immemorial! Thanks and kudos to all associated with Max Mueller Bhavan for making this dream come true. Due to space constraints we are only able to record the experiences of the following: Sonjoy Bose (Teacher at Max Mueller Bhavan ): “It was definitely a matter of great pride to be a part of such a historic event. I couldn’t have imagined that 1.20 lakh people would be present to bid farewell to Oliver Kahn. So, I didn’t feel that only MMB, Kolkata was happy about the match, the whole of Kolkata was.” Axel Rahmlow (Trainee at Max Mueller Bhavan ):”I guess being on the field during a match is a dream come true for every football fan, especially when players like Oliver Kahn stand 10 meters in front of you. When I was a volunteer during the World Cup 2006, I felt so excited being a little part of that big event. When Bayern played in Kolkata, that feeling came back, only this time, there were 120,000 people in the background that was just amazingly intense... and loud.Plus this time, I did not only watch, I was able to perform together with the students of Max Mueller Bhavan. The muscles in my arms got sore from hitting the drums and I know that some students lost their voices screaming. But it was well worth it, because the main reason why we were there, Oli Kahn, the titan, looked at us and waved when he passed us. That was a moment not to forget.” The spectators of Kolkata are more emotional " Mark Van Bommel 27.05.208:Mohun Bagan team looked quite strong and good.I think the team is better than the team we played in Jakarta which we won 5 - 1. Mohun Bagan played a compact game," Hizfeld told in a press meet after his team gave Bagan a 3-0 drubbing today at Salt Lake Stadium - Kolkata in front of 123000 strong crowed. Asked whether 3-0 was not a low score for a superior team like Bayern, he said it was a good score for an international match. "We are happy with this score. " Hizfeld, who is now moving to be the national coach of Switzerland, had a word of praise also for the spectators who had filled the 1.20-lakh capacity at Salt Lake Stadium, saying, "It was great to have a farewell like the one we had." Dutch international Mark van Bommel, said, "I have played in Barcelona, but the spectators here are more emotional. The condition was hot and humid. But we played a good game in such a condition." Kolkata goes wild as Kahn calls it a day 27.05.2008 : Suman Saha: It was Pele’s cosmos in 1977 and Mohun Bagan drew 2 all and after 31 years with King Khan with his Knight Riders flooding the city the goalie of the decade comes to rule. The city of joy witnessed as Oliver Kahn, the last word of goalkeeping transferred the duty of securing the last line of defense to his deputy Mark Rensing. The mast head of all news papers for the last seven day was a single name Oliver Kahn, the champion’s league winning goalkeeper playing his last match against Bagan. After a long time the Slat lake Stadium roared with its full capacity of 1 lakh 30 thousand as the man of the moment came out for the last time onto the field. The spirit of football lovers of the city with lots of colors were on a high as Kahn accepted thee greetings for the last time. The school children also came to see their hero for the last time in action. The number of female supporter’s was an important thing to notice as football is a language for all. Apart from being called the city of joy another adjective may be used, Kolkata may also be called as the privileged city as to host the fairwell match of a world cup finalist goalie is not a thing which happens by fluke. Apart from the excitement, another concern was moving around in the city was the margin by which Bagan will be demolished by the Germans. But unexpectedly the Bagan team started off speedily with lalwampuia missing the target from a hand shaking distance. The speed of bagan was truly admirable at that point of time. But the first goal was scored by in the 17th minute as a lob was miscleared by a bagan defender and the score waiting for it pounced on the opportunity. The match was still on a even bet as bagan pressed for the equalizer. But the fight ended with a stunning free kick goal be Ze Robreto which resulted from a foul by Sangram outside the box. A cool finish from the striker also finished any chance of a miracle. The first half ended with two in bag for Bayern. During the lemon break Kahn and Subrata Sarkar the FIFA referee who was conducting his last match was felicitated by the Bengal Peerless group, AIFF(By Subrata Dutta - Vice President), IFA (by Utpal Ganguly - Secretary)and MOHUN Bagan Athletic club(By Anjan Mitra - Secretary). The crowd was absolutely gone crazy seeing the world cupper in front of their eyes. The sound of clapping flooded the mammoth crowd. Mohun Bagan honored Kahn with the life membership of their club. With the resume of the match, the Bayern team scored the third and virtually put the match beyond doubt. This time also the bagan defense may be spotted as the villain with taking the opportunity. On the 9th minute of the 2nd half and the 54th min of the match the most emotional moment was acted out as Oliver Kahn for the last time left the field while getting substituted by his deputy Mark Rensing. The whole of the stadium was applauding for their hero for the last time. As the match progressed, Lalkamal Bhowmick,s long ranger kissed the upside of the bar and went over. With seven minutes from time, a unwanted event happened as Breno of Bayern and Branco of Bagan tusseled with other giving the referee with no other option left in his hand other than to give marching orders to both of them. The match ended with Bayern 3 nil up. But it was Khan who took the limelight and Kolkata should be thankful as the man chose this city as his final venue of action. It was all over for a career spanning over 20 years. The most colorful character of the football field will now be watching the most beautiful game from outside the field. With scars of world cup in 2002 and the pride of champion’s league, Oliver Kahn bid Farwell to the game and the whole of the city of joy did the same to him and of course with tears in the eyes.

The occasion was Adidas , Bayern Munchen Talent hunt event, Venue- CC&FC ground here in Kolkata. After giving goalkeepers a short practice sessions when he was about to move to other side of the ground our correspondent Subharnsu Roy caught up with him. At the end of the camp six boys namely Youhan Confectioner,Joel Fernandez,Suraj Dhopi,Bidhan Jaiswal,Zian Ali and Subham Sarkar have been selected to attend the Bayern Munich training camp in Germany. The selected boys had contested with 48 other hopefuls. Kahn took five minutes to walk off for his destination, the exclusive interview was on. Q: How you are enjoying your Kolkata trip till today? KAHN: Oh! Its a nice experience. For last few days I'm hearing a lot about the football craziness of this city. We got a warm welcome yesterday in airport and other places, specially I wouldn't have forgot last evening's experience. We enjoyed a lot. You see, these young kids they are as talented as our boys, but they need proper training & infrastructure. If they are given that, who knows one day they can shine in international football. Q: So you think Indians have talent but what they require is proper scientific training & good infrastructure? KAHN: Oh yes. Without proper scientific training & good infrastructure , no one can progress now-a-days. Q: The international football is changing. Fifa is looking for more goals, offside rules are more flexible, Football producing companies are making balls which are not so friendly for goalkeepers. Do you think that football authorities are making the game tougher for goalkeepers? KAHN: Who cares. I agree that these young goalkeepers have tougher games in their hand for future, but you know the good goalkeeping will remain forever. and great goalkeepers will born in ages to come. Q: Now your biography 'No.1' is in stalls now. Will you mention yours Kolkata experience playing in front of 1,20,000 strong crowd, in the next edition? KAHN: Surely (With smile on his face). If my publisher permits. Thank you...
