Miroslav Klose

“Teams in the past have been slow starters yet gone on to win the World Cup.”

“I spent five years in Italy, and the Italians have a slightly different lifestyle. Everything is a bit slower and more easygoing. You can feel that when you live there; you become a little more relaxed about typically 'German' things like accuracy and punctuality.”

“A World Cup is always something special and simply indescribable - and being able to hold something in your hands at the end of it all is just incredible.”

“It is important for us to push into the box - not play around it like some sort of handball team.”

“I want to win something with Lazio, and I am not talking about just winning games.”
