Oliver Kan. Gorilla, Bulldog, Peteitront
In the title, only a small part of the nickname, which the audience and the press were awarded Oliver Kana.
In Germany, there are no fans indifferent to this colorful character. Cana love, Kana hate, they curse and empathize him. For almost ten years, Olli has been among the top ten most popular Germans.
And there is nothing to be surprised. Strong goalkeeper is doomed to popularity, both with a plus sign, and with the opposite. A strong goalkeeper of such a superclub, like "Bavaria", is doubly popular by default. Well, if he has such a bright appearance as our hero, its popularity may be limitless.
By the way, about the appearance that impose an imprint on the character of Oliver and caused numerous nicknames. Kana from birth Incorrect bite - the lower jaw is issued forward. This is noticeable visually, and the problems with diction are inevitable. Can you imagine how little Olli from the peers got? And the bulldog was called, and the monkey, and the speech was mad. And to get rid of mockery, it was necessary to have strong muscles and powerful fists. Well, with speech therapists work. Now Oliver says quite clean, without any signs of speech defects. True, it is not known how clearly pronounce the words of those who had to experience the fortress of Kuratov Kaulakov.
Majer's gloves
Olli's rather early gave an answer to the traditional question for children "Who will you be when you grow up?" Of course, a football player like dad. To say that it is better than Dad, Oliver could not. Because of respect for the Father, for a player Rolf Kan was unimportant. He played midfielder in Karlsruhe. But an excellent children's coach came from the mediocre football player. Many of the students of Rolf Kata became famous players. Oliver Kan, his native son of a children's coach was the most successful.
It was the father who determined Ollie in the goalkeeper, although the boy tried himself hardly in all amplua. "Football players are a lot, and the goalkeeper is one. Goer always appreciate and love. So you're going to the gate, "said the father of the 7-year-old Oliver and made a fateful gift - the gloves of the famous Zep Paer. How not to go into goalkeepers?
It will take 18 years, and the legendary ZEPP Mayer will recommend Oliver to Bavaria, and then long and hard to do from his ward the best goalkeeper of the world. In the meantime, the Belobrynya guy had to run in training and dream of a place at the gate of the modest "Carlsruhe".
Formulas and Famulla
"I was never called to various youth and junior teams of Germany. Just none of the coaches of these teams knew about my existence. And I didn't touch me at all and did not even strain. I thought more about how to quickly wake mostly, "the Oliver recalls. Kan was waiting for its o'clock and worked in training to the seventh sweat. And he developed his balloons of the ball, which allowed the position correctly to occupy a position, to go to interceptions. In training Everything worked great - apparently, the formulas turned out to be useful.
But it was not possible to break into the main composition for a long time. The place at the gate of "Carlsruhe" was occupied by Alexander Famullah, goalkeeper, maybe not the strongest but rather experienced. Coach Winfred Schaefer completely trusted his goalkeeper, and Kahu had to wait for his turn on a bench for quite a long time. Once it was waiting - Famullah scalked a red card. And, apparently, Kran has blocked. In his debut match, Olli simply failed - missed four pieces from Cologne. In the next game, with the "wider" - Kan missed half the smallest, but played a little better. And there the Famullah ended the disqualification, and he returned to the gate again. Kanu had to go in shifters for two years. Those rare chances that seemed to him, he did not use.
And the Kan would be killed in unpromising or playing somewhere in the lower leagues, if not Famullah. The goalkeeper "Karlsruhe" was completely spoiled in the absence of competition, became mistaken in every match, and as a result, the patience of the scene burst. In the match with Bohum, Famulla brought two goals and was replaced. And his dubler played very worthy. And in the next match looked adequately. And in the following too. This is how 22-year-old Oliver Kan became the main guard of the gate of Karlsruhe. The coincidence is or not, but it was worth Olli to gain a foothold in the main composition, as the club began to progress sharply.
And again Meyer
After Jean-Marie Pfaff completed his bright career, at the very titled club of Germany - "Bavaria" - there were serious problems with the post of number one. Richard Aumann, of course, was a good goalkeeper, was brought to the national team, but in Munich, they were accustomed to the gate to defend the goalkeeper level of Maer or Pfaff. Here Zeppe Mayer, who responded to Bavaria for the preparation of kippers, and instructed the search for a worthy successor. It did not have to look for a long time. "Of course, Kan from Karlsruhe," said Meyer to club leadership, and very soon strong broad-sided blond moved to Munich. Bavarians did not praise, paying for Olli two and a half million dollars - the record of the goalkeeper is recorded at that time. As you can see, they did not lose. Kahn very quickly mastered in the Bavarian gate and very soon became a cult figure, a symbol of the Munich club.
Great was the surprise of Zepp Mayer, when the newcomer showed him the most expensive relic - the very Maiter gloves, from which the biography of Kana-goalkeeper began. Meyer, the greatest of German goalkeepers, was very highly appreciated by the talent of Oliver. But I could not not notice your experienced eye that the preparation of Oliver is very weak and need to work for a long time and hard. After each training session, Mayer and Kahn were detained another hour and a half or two. "ZEPP and beat me from three meters, and invented all sorts of exercises. After his classes, any game seemed to me fun. "The lessons of the Great Master could not but affect the year in" Bavaria "Kan visited noticeably and soon his debut in the national team.
Kan and Lehmann
Germany has always been rich in goalkeeper talents, and therefore the victorious competition unfolded in the national team, sometimes moving into the war. And before becoming the first number Bundestim, it was necessary to wait for a very long time and faced with different intrigues. Oliver was first summoned to the main team of the country, even the goalkeeper of Karlsruhe, even at the 1994 World Championship, went to the role of the third after Bodo Illgner and Andreas Köpka. But the debut came on June 23, 1995 - Ollie defended the gate to Bundestim in a friendly game with the Switzerland national team. Illgner by that time the national team left, but with Andreas Köpka had to compete seriously. Köpka, whose club career was extremely unsuccessful, was very successful at the gate of the national team. In many ways, thanks to him, the Germans won the European Championship 1996, and Andreas became the best goalkeeper of the tournament. Of course, Oliver was pleased with his colleague, but his relationship with Andreas was very difficult. Jumpy Köpka always believed that Kahn wants to hang him. In front of the World Cup of 1998, the relations of the two "k" completely spoiled - Andreas and Oliver did not even greet. The world championship Germans failed, Köpka left the national team, and the sweater with the first number moved to the cana. But Oliver has a strong, ambitious, acute rival - Jens Lehmann. The peer of Khana believed that he was not inferior to Bavantz, and he tried to displace Olli from the frame with all the truths and untrue.
Jens did not bother on the Philippika to the opponent. "I can't stand in traffic jams, sit on a bench and Oliver Kana." Or: "Someday I will go to Bavaria, and the Kan will serve me the balls, at least some sense will be from him." And yet: "Olive is now not to football, he has a novel with a waitress. Maybe it is better for him to go to bartenders or meticulous? I would visit his establishment and would leave Tips. " Kahn was not so chosen and questions about Lehmann usually answered another question - "Lehmann? And who is it?"
No matter how hard Jens had a better goalkeeper, and in the national team he had to be a dubler and the World Cup 98, and at Euro 2000, and on the Silver for the Germans of the 2002 World Championships, and for CH-2004. But Jens still waited for his o'clock. Kan was forced to give up the first room to his long depth. Why? It is unlikely that it is worth seeing the reason only in the shemann intrigues and complex relations with Jürgen Klinsmann, which were still in "Bavaria". Season 2004/05 Olive was clearly failed, and the next was not the most successful. And Jens at that time brightened in Arsenal. Do not forget who, with Kligsmanne, answered the training of goalkeepers - already mentioned Andreas Köpka. It is clear that in such conditions, Olli felt in Bundestim uncomfortable.
To relieve rivalry sharpness, Kligsmann announced in advance that Lehmann will be the main goalkeeper at the World Championships. Not all this news came to the soul, but Oliver himself perceived it worth it. The second is so second. True, he himself announced that he would leave the national team after the World Cup.
It is on the world championship and a reconciliation of two outstanding goalkeys took place. After the quarterfinal match with the Argentines, in which Lehmann won a series of penalty, Kan approached and congratulated Jens. Two enemy exchanged hands and stopped being enemies. This scene saw the whole world. "Jens spent a wonderful world championship. He is worthy to be the main goalkeeper, "said Ollie, played in the match for the third place with the Portuguese and left Bundestim. It is unlikely that this decision was simple, because Kran 86 times defended the gate of the German national team and in 49 matches brought the team with the captain's bandage.
Bloodthirsty and merciless
"I like to play" Bavaria ". And not only because it is the strongest and titled country club. We not only do not like - they envy us and hate us. And I like it when we hate us. It turns out, stimulates to be the best of all of them called. "
The fans dedicated a set of many chambers - censorship and not very. Perhaps, no German football player has so much nickname (mostly offensive) - both Bulldog, and a monster, and gorilla with Godzilla. And on the outbound matches, the fan stands throughout the game will chant poars of their own essay. Olli does not miss the moment to climb its ill-wishers, and sometimes to cherish them. Since the crochets cannot hurt the thick can, fans are resorted to more radical measures. "Once the goalkeeper" Bavaria "Gorilla, then, it means, you have to love bananas," the one who launched in Oliver tropical fruit was guided by such logic. The Kan quietly raised the banana, cleared, ate, and she launched the skirt on the stand, where his offender was sitting. Bananas are nonsense compared to what happened in Freiburg. There is one idiot (a different word is difficult to pick up) launched a ball from golf into Kana and hit. Have you ever kept such a ball in your hands? Pretty weighty. And now imagine what was the Olive, when this subject got into my head. It cost quite easily, the ball went on tangent and only scratched the head of the goalkeeper's head. And then the police constrained the angry kana, rustling to break through the stands and catch the offender. If he succeeded, then the ball thrower could only envy the victim of Eric Cantons, Oliver would not limit himself with one pink.
The police calculated the 18-year-old attacker. He was sentenced to pay a large fine and forever deprived of the right to visit football matches. But most of all the hooligan was afraid of a full-time bet with Oliver. For Kahn in anger is terrible.
Confirm this may also be his former single-mincer Andreas Herzog. At one of the training "Bavaria", the Chan was caught by midfielder in unfair attitude towards his duties and made him a serious loyalty. As having grabbed her throat with its iron hands, Herzoga immediately intercepted breathing. About this incident found out the German comedian Harald Schmidt, who depicted the "feat" of the Bavarian goalkeeper. Since then, Olli and the reputation of the "bloodthirsty and merciless" was entrenched.
Get from Kana and midfielder "Borussia" Andreas Möller. In the struggle for the riding ball And These ended the knee, for which he was ... bited on Cana. "Now I know how the bulldogs bite," then Möller said, hinting at the wrong bite of his offender. Another player of "Borussia" - Khaiko Herrlihu - I had to feel on myself that the ball feels when I knocks the goalkeeper "Bavaria" in the field, - Kana's kick was very painful. There was a lot in the biography of Oliver such episodes. But after the 2002 World Cup, the name of the most famous German goalkeeper disappeared from football conjitis.
Olli's wonderful game in the fields of Korea and Japan reconciled him with the rest, Nebavar Germany. After all, everyone understood who the Germans were obliged to go to the final. Changing steps stopped. Yes, and Oliver himself coincided and prettal to allow all kinds of liberty.
One of his red cards (and in their career Olli was quite a bit) Kan earned for the fact that ... Maradon became like, but he scored the ball with his hand. "Bavaria" lost "Ganze" 0: 1. At the last minute, Oliver went to someone else's penalty - to revenue. And I struck the gate of Martin Picenhagen, having rummaged at the same time. The judge saw and presented the goalkeeper a yellow card, the second in the match.
Oliver dreamed of scoring the ball for a very long time. From the game, as we see, it did not work. I tried with a penalty. "Bavaria" won the "energy" 6: 0, it is possible to experiment. Bavarians received the right to 11 meter, and their captain went through. But Oliver struck so inesently that Tomati Tomislav Pippes caught the ball and then laughed for a long time, forgotten about six missed balls. After that, Kan threw the idea to score balls. Let it make those who are followed by status.
Waitress-delibeble
With his wife, Simone Oliver met even the second goalkeeper of Karlsruhe. Olli for a very long time, for almost ten years the lover's hands were sought, while Simon finally did not say "yes." At that moment, Kan felt himself the happiest man in the world. Soon the daughter of Katharina-Maria appeared in the family. Pieces of newspapers Natrelie articles about the family of goalkeeper of the German national team, about what kind of stern on the kind of Oliver is a loving husband and father. Their family was called hardly exemplary.
And this idyll collapsed at one moment. In the fall of 2002, Bavaria, in full, went to Oktoberfest - the traditional autumn beer festival. And on this holiday, Kana liked a young waitress Verena Kert. Roman flared and began to develop rapidly. Soon the whole Germany knew about the passion of Oliver. And at that time, Simone waited for the second child. Oliver left the family a month before the birth of David's son. Of course, such actions do not paint a man, but we will not strictly judge Oliver. After all, we know about the details of this case only on newspaper publications. Since then, Oliver and Riene, which is younger for 13 years, together, but do not rush to register their relationship.
Simone was very hard survived the betrayal of her husband. For two years, she did not appear in public, did not give any interviews and did not allow the Oliver to see children. But now she seems to be fine. Life has settled, and anger to the former spouse came to no. Oliver got the opportunity to visit the children and finally saw his son David.
Olive Rana has already been 37 years old, critical age even for goalkeeper. But he is in no hurry to hang gloves on a nail. "I have not played yet. Many goalkeepers played to forty years, what am I worse? Especially since I feel younger, thirty years old, no more. So I'll win. " At one time, Kana was invited to many famous clubs - Barcelona, \u200b\u200bReal, Manchester United, Milan. But Kan remained faithful "Bavaria". And she wants to serve her after completing the career, especially the position in the club will certainly find him. Bavarians are not scattered with their stars. But it is possible that, before the end of Career, Ollie will play in another club. Old familiar - Giovanni Trapattoni and Lothar Matteus, who train the Austrian "Red Bull", is called to themselves. And there are rumors that Kang is thinking about their proposal.
early years
One of the greatest goalkeepers Oliver Rolf Kang was born on June 15, 1969, in the German city of Karlsruhe, which was located near the French-German border.
Since childhood, the future football player had a problem with a bite, which caused ridicule surrounding. But the diligence and hard work of the young Oliver helped to cope with the defect and achieve a clear speech. Now, with the diction, the football player is all right, but because of the child's problem, such nicknames were attached as a bulldog, Gorilla, Peteitrop and Vampire. See also .
Oliver Kana has had a desire to football since childhood, especially since he received a visual example from his father. At one time, his father - Rolf Kran performed by the midfielder in the Karlsruhe football club, where he later became the coach of the Children's Team. Many coach people received the status of famous players, but the most successful was the football player Oliver Kan.
Oliver tried himself in almost all amplua, but his father decided to make a first-class goalkeeper from the boy. "Football players are a lot, and the goalkeeper is one," said Rolf Kan. At the age of seven, the Oliver was presented by the Olya of Zeppe Mair Gloves, who identified the future career of the football player. See also .
Football Career Oliver Kana
Before his seventeenthily, the football player conducted as part of the junior team. After the football player was eighteen (1990), he was submitted to the third goalkeeper team. But thanks to their abilities, I was immediately appointed by the second goalkeeper, after the goalkeeper Alexander Famulla. Oliver Kang long waited for his turn, in order to enter the field to the position of the first goalkeeper. Such an opportunity to him introduced himself when Famulla gets a red card and disqualified for 3 games. It would seem that all cards in the hands of Olivera Kanu. But everything went awry, and the football player could not express himself in the game.
First, a defeat with a score of 0: 4, in favor of Cologne, then in the battle with the "wider", Oliver Kan misses two goals. For three games, the goalkeeper misses almost nine heads. But since there was no alternative replacement to Alexander Famullah, the football player escaped forced care. After the year spent on the shop of the reserve, Olivera Kanu again falls the ability to protect the team's gate, and the footballer manifests itself from the best side and leads the team to victory, since no goal could be at the gate, on the guard of which Oliver Ca. After the end of the "successful" match, Oliver Kan becomes the main goalkeeper of the team.
In 1993, honored to protect the gate at the UEFA Cup and invited to play in the German national team. But for five years, Oliver Kan was content with solely by the post of backup goalkeeper. Only in 1995, Oliver Kana fell out the opportunity to express himself in the role of Golucker National national team in meetings against the Georgian and Swiss teams. Then the bench was again followed and only after the departure of Andi Keppke, the German redeem the title of the main goalkeeper of the national team.
In 94th, the footballer signs contact with Munich ". The transfer amount at that time turned out to be quite a record - 2.3 million euros. The player's salary is no less impressive amount - 2.5 million. Oliver Kan immediately displaces Raymond Aumna, who has been the position of the main goalkeeper club for a long time. The football player achieves the greatest success precisely among the "Bavaria". In the 96th Cup of UEFA, and in the 98th Country Cup. Oliver becomes the six-time champion of Germany six (in 97.99,2000,2001,2003,2005). By the way, such leading clubs were fought for the football player as "" and "", but as soon as the football player stood out about the rest, he was proposed a more profitable contract by the leadership of Bavaria. As a result, Oliver's annual salary was 4.5 million euros and the goalkeeper was recognized as the highest paid football player of Germany.
In the 99th, 2001 and 2002, becomes the best goalkeeper of the world, and in 2000-2001 he was awarded the title of the best player in Germany.
In 2006, at the World Championship matches in Germany, he finishes his career in the national team, and in 2008 he finishes a goalkeeper career as part of Bavaria.
Over his entire football career, Oliver spent eight hundred sixty-four games, including five hundred fifty-four Bundesliga Match, one hundred forty-one Euro Cup Match and eighty-six games by the national team goalkeeper.
Oliver Kana has a reputation of a merciless and bloodthirsty player. He is dedicated to many obscene laws, they threw it with bananas (because of the nickname gorilla), threw a golf ball into the head, but from all situations the football player left proudly raised head and even played the attackers.
At one of the workouts of the club "Bavaria", the goalkeeper clung to his one to his teammate, due to the unfair attitude towards his football duties. And in the match against Borussia, the midfielder of the team was bruised, to which he answered that he now knows how Buldogs bite (again because of the nickname of a football player).
On the homeland of the harsh Oliver Khana called Oli. Such a tender name in the address of this football player sounds somewhat strange, because the view of him is awesome, the fans are celebrated. Not only is the German rather impressive dimensions (with an increase of 188 cm weighs 91 kg), so also the expression of the face is ominous due to the wrong bite.
Kan won the reputation of a merciless player. He was adored fans of "Bavaria", and the fans of other clubs hated. The man heard a bunch of obscene crocons behind his back, even threw the bananas because of his gorilla's nickname. For career, the athlete survived a lot of takeoffs and falls, but of all situations came out with proudly raised head.
Childhood and youth
The brilliant German goalkeeper was born in the city of Karlsruhe, spread out next to the border of Germany and France. Father Rolf Kan - also in the past football player, fought at the midfielder's position in the local club of the same name. Later he removed the player's T-shirt, having tried the role of the younger generation coach. The mentor released an axampy stars of the game on the grass, but his own son became the best.
Oliver Kan today Rolf Koval from the heir to the goalkeeper. It believed that football players around the sea, but a goalkeeper - on the weight of gold. When the boy was seven years old, his father as an incentive gave him the gloves of the legendary countryman, the goalkeeper of Zeppe Mayer.
Oliver in childhood on his own experience felt all the cruelty of children. The boy was teased because of the wrong bite, interferes even normally talk. Then the nickling gorilla, Bulldog, Petecantrop attached.
Kan put a lot of effort to smooth the defect and make a speech understandable to others. Diccia came to normal, and the nicknames remained.
Oliver Kan up to 17 years old played as part of the junior team of the Karlsruhe club, and in 1990, finally, fell into the basis.
Football
In the main composition of the FC, the young man was listed only by the third goalkeeper. But soon, shining with natural talents, became the second goalkeeper. At the time, Alexander Famulla stood at the time. The novice football player really wanted to take the place of the teammate, but I had to wait a bit. And fate smiled by German: Once Famulla stumbled, having received "vacation" for three matches, and Oliver got into the gate.
However, Kan did not justify hopes. A young man in the first game missed four goals. In general, for three matches, during which the gate entrusted to him, allowed rivals to score nine goals. A series of failure threatened the goalkeeper from the team, miraculously stayed, but he promoted a year at the backup bench.
Stubborn workouts, the desire to prove that there is potential and ability, again brought the young man to the gate. And victories fell on the team one after another. Yes, so that in 1993 Karlsruhe received a ticket to the UEFA Cup, where Oliver fought the gate. At the same time, the goalkeeper, who has already become the main goalkeeper, called in the German national team.
The five-year plan flashed without the participation of Cana in the national team, the football player was kept in the reserve. Just twice beaten with Georgians and Swiss. Chance to get up in the gate of the national team received with the departure of Andreas Köpka.
Perfectly performing at the UEFA Cup, the German attracted the attention of eminent clubs - claimed "Buradon" and "Juventus". In 1994, Oliver Kan agreed to the transition to Bavaria, the transfer amount was 5 million grades. Money for those times astronomical. The first goalkeeper of the strongest German team was Raymond Auman, who managed to shift Oliver.
"Bavaria" with Kahn immediately got the UEFA Cup. The following season gives another major achievement - gold in German Bundesliga. Nobody doubted the goalkeeper mastery, the young man had a rapidly prompted the thousands of fans, Oliver was called the Leader of the Football Club.
In 2001, she brought the club in the Champions League, repelly reflecting the penalty at the end of the match with Valencia. These saves entered the selection of the brightest in Kana's career, which are walking over the network. The goalkeeper is also the owner of the prestigious Golden Ball award.
The best saves Oliver KanaNot dealt with German biography and without records. In the spring of 2007, the goalkeeper "Bavaria" set a new record of the German championship in the number of victory matches for a separate football player. The Munich team beat Leverkusensky "Bayer" 2: 1, the victory became for Kana 292th in the country's championship.
Awards were added to team success, which German won in the international arena. Kana managed to become a silver medalist of the World Cup 2002. In the national team, the goalkeeper finished his career in 2006.
Together with award-winning, the football player has become titles. At the beginning of the new millennium, three times became the best goalkeeper of a global scale, as well as the best player in Germany. Oliver surpassed other goalkeepers and in the number of missed heads at the World Championships. She held the third place in the number of games in the home championships - 552 matches.
European clubs fought for a goalkeeper, but "Bavaria" did not want to part with a talented protector of the gate. Every time Oliver wondered about a new offer, the leadership of the native club certainly raised the salary.
In the early autumn of 2008, Kahn ended his career in football.
Games with Oliver Kan are full of fights and curious cases. The football player could easily be a quarrel with an opponent or kick a colleague around the club. So, at one of the training "Bavaria", the goalkeeper clung to the neck of the player for the fact that he neglected football duties. And once in a duel with the Belarusians, bit his midfielder. The victim then noted in the interview, which now knows how the bulldogs bite, hinting at the nickname of Cana.
In 2001, the fans of the game on the grass laughed at the Bavaria's goalkeeper due to the fact that he scored his goals. The fact is that Oliver dreamed at least once to send the ball into the opponent's gate. The case was introduced in the game against "Hanza". Kan forgot that he came out on the player's role, came to the penalty opponent and scored the ball with his hands. The arbiter taking the gate did not count and showed the Gollyper with a yellow card.
Oliver Chan's goalFor many years, Kan was hostile with Jens Lehmann, who slept and saw himself goalkeeper No. 1 in the national team. And the footballer still waited for the starry hour. Oliver failed the 2004-2005 season, and Lehmann was put at the next World Championships in the Gate.
This championship led to the reconciliation of enemies: after the quarterfinal match with Argentines, in which Lehmann "won a series of penalty, Kan approached and congratulated Jens.
However, Oliver Kan was remembered by fans and rivals as a person empathizing. The touching story happened in the Champions League final of the 2001. "Bavaria" played with Valencia. Mama died at the goalkeeper of opponents of Santiago Kanisarez during the match. The football player fell on the grass and cried. Oliver hurried to goalkeeper, whom he comforted with words
"Canya, do not cry, your mother looks at you now, and she is really proud to give life to the legendary goalkeeper, you."
After that, Santiago got up and continued to play.
Personal life
German's personal life is not distinguished by stability. Oliver 14 years stubbornly sought hands and hearts of a former classmate named Simon. As a result, in 1999 she became a wife of a goalkeeper. Marry leaving pregnant. From this woman, Kana has two children - the daughter of Catarina and the son of David.
However, the football player did not obtain an approximate chapter of the family. Four years after marriage, Oliver left the spouse to a young waitress Verena Kurt. Moreover, the wife snapped the second child and was about to give birth.
With Verpea, which under 11 years old, the athlete never went under the crown, just lived under one roof. Later, the girl decided to resume relations with the former beloved, the young Greek Alexander. And Oliver returned to the family. But the former feelings could not be returned, the pair broke up completely.
However, alone, the football player did not stay - in 2011 he married again. The whaleman became the woman named Shang.
Kan is the author of two books. In 2004, the "number one" edition was published from under the football player's feather, and after another four years - the book of Memoirov "I. Success comes from the inside. " A man has an economic education, so brilliantly plays on the stock exchanges.
Oliver Kan now

The legendary, world famous football goalkeeper Oliver Kan appeared in the small German town of Karlsruhe June 15, 1969. The love of the ball Oliver instilled his father, Rolf Kan, who played at one time for several years per local club at the midfielder position.
Carier start. A series of failure
His first steps in Kan's football made as a member of the Karlsruhe club. Up to 17, Oliver performed for the youth team, and with the onset of majority was adopted as a third goalkeeper to the main team. Mrs. Fortuna was favorable to a novice footballer, and he was almost instantly enrolled by the second goalkeeper after Alexander
Famullah.
Soon that the long-awaited moment came when before Kan was the opportunity to show their skills, but it was not there. On the eve of the upcoming match with the "Cologne" Famulla, having received a red card, was disqualified for the next three games. In the absence of the main goalkeeper, the honor of protecting the gate fell out Oliver Kanu, who, without justifying the hopes of the coach, missed 4 goals, and the team lost to dry.
The troubles for Oliver did not end. In the game with the "wider" he could not rehabilitate in the eyes of others and gave the opportunity to the enemy twice to hit his gate. In total, for 3 matches, Kan missed 9 goals. The only one, thanks to which Oliver Kan remained in the team, is the lack of another goalkeeper for the replacement of Famulla. A whole year Kran sat on the bench back.
On the way to glory
The painstaking work on his football talent, after some time, fully justified himself, and when Oliver once again introduced a chance - he showed himself in all its glory, thanks to which it faded his place on the gate.
After an unsuccessful game Famullah, the goalkeeper Oliver Kan came to replace. Nobody from the opposing team never managed to hit the gate guarded by Oliver, as a result, "Karlsruhe" won. In the same year (1992), the Kana team received the right to take part in the UEFA Cup. From this point on, Cartera Kana began to go, as they say, in the mountain.
Munich "Bavaria"
Successfully speaking at the UEFA Cup, coming to the semifinal stage, Karlsruhe began to gain its popularity, and Oliver himself cause interest among trainers of various teams. The fracture in the career of a beginner football player came in the summer of 1994, after the transition from the native club to the strongest German team - Munich "Bavaria". The transfer amount was at that time simply astronomical - 5 million brands. Oliver Kahn immediately ousted the first goalkeeper of the Munich club of Raymond Aumun over the past years.
Finally, in 1995, a long-standing dweller Kana - he had to defend the gate of the national German team in matches against the prefabricated Georgia and Switzerland. But the Championship of the Year Olivera still had to spend on the bench. Only after leaving the German national team, Andi Köppka Oliver Kan received an honorable place of the first goalkeeper.
First achievements
