Although he stands out here, he has never been favored by the national youth team. 1990 In the autumn, Kahn made his debut in the Bundesliga, which left a very deep impression on people from the beginning. It took him only three seasons to establish himself and become one of the best goalkeepers in the Bundesliga. From 1993 to 10, his outstanding performance won the call of the national team and he was selected for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, but bodo illgner, who was only a substitute, did not have a chance to play. 1994/ 1995 At the beginning of the season, Kahn joined Bayern Munich Club.

In addition to winning the fourth German League title, he also won the European Champions Cup that season. 1999 After the fiasco, Bayern Munich once again had the opportunity to challenge the highest honor of European clubs after two years. Bayern Munich, which has been far away from the peak of Europe for 25 years, is absolutely no less eager for this trophy than its final opponent, Valencia, a European newcomer who has performed well in La Liga and Champions League in recent years. Throughout the season, because of the third-line operations, coach Hitzfeld formulated the team strategy of defensive counterattack according to the characteristics of players, and Elber, who was at the peak, also made frequent gains in counterattack.
