- But as it turns out, Miroslav Klose is different in that respect. So different, in fact, that he doesn’t even consider himself a proper centre-forward at all. “I never felt like a real No 9,” he tells me in a Zoom call from Munich.

Yes, the man who has scored 16 goals in World Cup history and is Germany’s all time top scorer isn’t even German. Klose is actually Polish and lived in France until he was 8 after which he moved to Germany. He had a chance to play for Poland in 2001 but decided against it. The 36-year-old never refers to himself as German or Polish and prefers to c...
The striker is lethal from close range, and hardly scores from outside the penalty box. All of his 16 goals in World Cups have come from a distance of 12 yards or less? Poacher!
Before he became a professional footballer, he trained to be a carpenter and practiced the trade until he was 20. I guess his carpentry skills didn’t help him much, going by his goals for Germany in World Cups.
Many people say Klose isn’t that prolific but what they should know is that he scores goals in bursts. The striker bagged 5 goals in a single match for Lazio in a 6-0 thrashing of Bologna becoming the only player till date to do so for the club.
Klose was unwittingly caught in a storm back in 2011 when a group of facist Lazio supporters held a banner with Klose’s picture along with the logo of Hitler’s dreaded SS during the Rome derby. The striker was disgusted by this and said: "Sport and politics are two separate entities. I also feel disgusted that my name should be associated on the sa...
Klose is really lucky for Germany as they have never lost a match in which the striker has scored. Considering he has scored 71 times for Germany, that is a lot of unbeaten matches for Argentina. German fans will be hoping that happens against Argentina on Monday.
The striker holds his religion extremely close to his heart and even met Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican back in 2012. Football must have surely been discussed as the former Pope is fond of Bayern Munich, one of Klose’s former clubs.
Klose got his sporting gene from his parents who were both athletes. His mother Barbara played for Poland’s handball team and his father was a footballer for French outfit AJ Auxerre.
Klose has displayed plenty of fairplay during his career and won acclaim for two incidents; the first being in 2005 while playing for Werder Bremen when he refused to take a penalty due to the referee being incorrect and the second while playing for Lazio back in 2012, when he admitted to handling the ball against Napoli. The referee didn’t show Kl...
If you thought that 16 goals in World Cups was his only record in the competition then you’re wrong. The striker is one of the three players to score 5 goals in two consecutive World Cups, score the most headers in the World Cup with 5, score at least 4 goals in 3 different World Cups and is the only player to appear in 4 World Cup semifinals. Lege...
