Miroslav klose germany jersey

Miroslav Klose ended his successful and unique career in DFB dress after the 2014 World Cup at the age of 36. The striker would have been better than winning the World Cup title not at all say goodbye to the eagle bearer can, two records in particular stand out during his 13-year DFB career. On the one hand, Klose has replaced the legendary goalscorer Gerd Müller as the most successful goal scorer in the DFB jersey, as he scored 71 goals in a total of 137 international matches.

Müller scored 68 goals. In addition, no player in the world has scored more goals at world championships than Klose, who scored 16 times in his four tournaments. In addition to four world championships, Klose also played three European championships in Germany’s jerseys. The Pole, who had never played for a DFB U-selection before, made his debut in the German national team in Leverkusen against Albania on March 24, 2001, and scored a goal after his replacement. It was the beginning of an extremely successful liaison, especially as Klose was an inviolable regular for many years in the DFB team.

Even at the 2014 World Cup, despite his advanced age, he was in the starting formation in every game from the quarter-finals. This is not surprising, especially since Klose had an extreme experience and was still very fit physically. The name Klose alone may have caused deep worry lines in some defensive lines. In addition to his exceptional marksmanship and killer instinct in front of the opposing goal, it was above all his header strength that his opponents feared. In addition, the ice-cold executor was characterized by his very clever and team-friendly style of play, whereby Klose was never too good for defensive work and always unwinded a high workload. As a weakness, his critics accused him of a certain phlegm and shots outside the penalty area were an absolute rarity, which also did not fit into Klose’s game. Because the thoroughbred striker was always looking for the way to the opposing box. He will definitely leave a big gap in the DFB team and it is now up to players like Mario Gomez, Kevin Volland or Max Kruse to take over his legacy.
