為了與阿根廷的四分之一決賽，德國人可謂是辛苦地準備了，這些都給在點球大戰中的門將萊曼關鍵性地回報。
奧林匹克體育場內很少有人注意，在每一個阿根廷隊員發點球之前，德國隊門將萊曼都會從教練那裏接到一張小紙條，上面有該名罰球隊員的罰球分析，包括習慣射門的方向等。
而萊曼撲出了4個點球中的2個，這使德國隊最終勝出。這些準備工作都是由德國隊主要的信息偵察員，一個可能是世界盃期間最辛勤工作的瑞士人完成的，他的名字叫Urs Siegenthaler。
比埃爾霍夫在新聞發佈會上説：“在我們對陣瑞典和阿根廷的比賽中，萊曼都得到了對方可能發點球隊員的信息。他看過阿根廷過去2年內罰的所有點球的錄像，也有那些可能主罰隊員的名單。”

原文:Penalty analysis pays off for Germany
BERLIN, July 1 (Reuters) - Germany's painstaking preparation for their World Cup quarter-final against Argentina gave goalkeeper Jens Lehmann a crucial advantage in the penalty shootout.
Few people at the Olympiastadion on Friday noticed, but before each of the Argentina penalties Lehmann was handed a slip of paper by the coaching staff with an analysis of where each player usually put his shot.
Lehmann saved two of the penalties and Germany won the shootout 4-2, after the match had finished 1-1 at the end of 120 minutes.
The preparation was done, as usual, by Germany's chief scout Urs Siegenthaler, a Swiss who may well be the hardest working man at this World Cup.
'Before both our knockout games against Sweden and Argentina we gave Lehmann information on the possible penalty takers,' team manager Oliver Bierhoff said at a news conference on Saturday.
'Lehmann saw videos of all the penalties Argentina have taken in the past two years, with a list of the specific types of penalty the players usually take.
'He then had to briefly consult the notes with (goalkeeping coach) Andreas Koepke, because you never know until the shootout who will be on the list.'
Bierhoff added: 'We then just told him to save two penalties, in case he forgot.'
Germany next face Italy in the semi-finals in Dortmund on Tuesday.
