Miroslav Klose

“Of course you want to coach in the Bundesliga when you move into coaching.”

“Once a year, I gather a group of friends to go fishing.”

“Team success stood, and stands, above everything for me.”

“I enjoyed my biggest successes with the national team.”

“Scoring and fishing are comparable. In both cases, you must have patience and wait for the right moment to strike power with the utmost coolness.”

“Fishermen and coaches have one thing in common: both need to be very patient.”

“I could very well see myself ending my professional career at Kaiserslautern.”

“The team always comes first.”

“Kaiserslautern is and has always been a matter very close to my heart.”

“I've been exposed to so many different cultures.”

“In a final, anything is possible.”

“An internship with Pep Guardiola would be a huge present.”

“I'm not worried that Germany will always have strikers that are of international calibre.”

“I might have a different understanding of the term 'football star.' If I shoot a few balls after training, it's perfectly normal that I collect them afterwards.”

“I've always been a real striker.”

“My professional career only began at 21, really.”

“I always accept the decisions of the coach.”

“I've had a great time with the national team and enjoyed some amazing moments.”

“Those who know me well know that the World Cup is my goal.”

“This is a virile sport in which physical contact is allowed.”
