Cole
Jens Lehmann has backed the Arsenal supporters who intend to barrack Ashley Cole during Sunday's game at Stamford Bridge. The goalkeeper emphasised his respect for Cole as a player and person but understands why the Chelsea full-back will receive abuse when he faces his former club for the first time."Of course. He should get it," Lehmann said. "That's football and it makes it exciting. If not, it would have meant he wasn't an important player for them. But he was, he was a vital member of our squad and we had big success with him so of course he has to expect some negative emotions towards him."
