Schwarzer hits back at criticism from Kalac

Socceroos goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has hit back at former teammate Zeljko Kalac after comments made about him in the media.

AC Milan’s Kalac told the Sydney Morning Herlad, “Schwarzie's always been a great keeper, no doubt about that.

“But if you look at it, he's always played his best when he's not under pressure.

“The clubs he's been at, there's not been the pressure from the second keeper.

“That's how he likes it, that's what makes him comfortable.

“Now it's the same with the national team - he's not feeling the pressure because I'm not there behind him.”

Despite stating he had nothing to stay about the matter, Schwarzer did hit back at Kalac.

“I've always said I don't speak about other people and other people's performances,” the Fulham custodian said.

"I mean Zeljko makes a habit of making comments about other people's abilities and he also did mention he thought I was playing well so that was nice.

"But there's always a twist when Zeljko makes a comment.

“I don't want to get involved; I just want to concentrate on playing football and the best I possibly can for Australia and that's all that matters to me."
