How good was Miroslav Klose actually? #GOAT
New video about one of the most talked about players we've seen over the 2010s in football. In this episode we take on Miroslav Klose who played for Kaiserslautern, Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Lazio and Germany for most of his career.

Out of his 16 World Cup goals, there were no penalty kick goals. Amazing.
Beat that messi
@@THECAR99messi is so overrated tbh
He beat ‘prime Messi’ twice. Let that sink in.
@@sirbonobo3907 😂😂😂😂 funny
@@sirbonobo3907Your mama is overrated
He wasn't average, just not extravagant. He had class. A brillant and humbled player. A true legend in Germany!
Dirk Nowitzki of football
Pretty much, as a German who doesn’t even watch football, I know of him and what a stand up dude he is.
thats the problem, he should be known around the world as legend.
I totally remember him, Podolski and Schweinsteiger... This was when football players still had at least some balls.
Professional football has become such a fraud.
Let's not forget that he was a real gentleman on the pitch, he was never trashtalking, arguing nor trying to enforce something on the ref, he even admitted to the ref that he scored a goal with his hand. Real man.
And not just once, but twice. Once for Werder, once for Lazio where he corrected the referee on a wrong decision made in his favor. He absolutely lived by that.
He got even an fair play award. Klose scored for Lazio, ref doesn’t see it, but Klose said by himself that he had the ball on his hand. And it was a close match
@@segafreak2000 Damn, that's beautiful. Never heard of a footballer doing that, massive respect.
@@sehu1291 It was a Klose match
@@alexandresilva3427 I do think there aren't enough players that show that much of sportsmanship and respect. Kind of sad, when you really think about it, but makes him more special in a way.
As a German i can tell myself, he is a absolute certified Legend for every footballfan in Germany.
Not only that. Even non-football fans like me know who he is. Would never watch a video about most other players, but Klose is Klose. Prost!
I was never interested in Serie A, but when he transferred to Lazio i checked the results of every game and watched the highlights if he scored.
Klose didn't get the attention because he wasn't a flashy finisher. He was the stereotypical "lunchbox" footballer famous on German teams of the 60's and 70's.
klose is morata type of striker avarging 10 goals or 12 goals per season
@@AbdeGOAT33 How many world cup goals does Morata have again?
@@AbdeGOAT33 also, Klose has WAYYYY more assists in his career and the stats aren't 100% obvious but from what I think I mathed together from Transfermarkt, Klose has 254 goals while Morata has only around 180
klose was my idol as a kid after seeing him from 06, 10 and 14 WCs love his poacher instinct and front flip celebration.
Yeah. Because he played for Kaiserslautern and Bremen. He also has won a top scorer award in Germany. And led goals/assists charts. Morata has NEVER done that. He had 48 goal contributions one season. Morata has NEVER done that. He's the WC all-time top scorer. Morata has NEVER done that. And he's won a WC and played at 4 of them. Morata will NEVER do that. But nice try downplaying his achievements. @@AbdeGOAT33
Klose is the stereotype of a hard working German keeping his head down and letting actions speak louder than words.
That's why he is not a superstar but a legend in Germany.
What do you know about Germany please? In Germany he is a superstar and a legend - how can you be one without the other when he made us world champions. So what do you know about Germans? And Germany
Was weißt du bitte über Deutschland? In Deutschland ist er ein Superstar und eine Legende wie kann man auch das eine ohne das andere sein wenn der man uns zu Weltmeistern gemacht hat . Also was weißt du bitte über deutsche ? Und Deutschland? Zzz
@@Michael_Verna-Do He has a point dude. He is not really a superstar in germany, but a legend for sure. He is super humble and never reached the highs of worldwide superstars like Müller, Neuer etc. He does not mean it in a negative way if i understood correctly. And before you play your germand card, i am german too :P
As a German he had a lot of concentration
@@Michael_Verna-Dowir haben keine richtigen Superstars. Das gab es seit ich Fußball gucke noch nie. Aber Legenden. Bei Klose ist, wie so oft bei deutschen Sportlern, erst hinterher wirklich klar was da passiert ist.
Anderes Beispiel: Ich glaube Nowizki wäre ein Superstar wenn er Amerikaner gewesen wäre. Ne Legende ist er definitiv.
@@Ni1996Ki ne digga, Toni Kroos ist nen Superstar UND ne Legende, obwohl er noch spielt. Muss kein Angeber a la Cristiano Ronaldo sein, um als solche zu gelten.
His work ethics, honesty and humility outshines them all. He's one of the GOATs in my book.
That's the thing I would like the players today to learn from. Hardworking and being a good person and be humble
He was basically gerd muller’s regen and then lewa is the regen of klose.
@@SurfingInternethe was more like the Rudi Völler of that era.
I agree. Not only back in the day, especially today alot of players especially in our german national team should learn from him.
Sportsmanship, respect, and what you mentioned: work ethics, honesty and humility are something alot of players lack in my personal opinion.
@@Rakshiir ya I agree and I still can’t get over what they did to mesut Ozil that shit was just wrong
Miro Klose's 2005/06 Bundesliga season will forever be iconic: 25 goals and 12 assists in 26 games for Bremen 🔥
And then that world cup. And then the next half season. He was the best striker in the world in those days. I sometimes wish we never had signed Diego (weird, I know), but Klose stated in an interview that for him it went south at Bremen when Diego arrived because he was to egoistical. And Micoud was anything but egoistical.
As a little German boy, I fell in love with Miro Klose in the early 2000s. He is the type of player that the German national team is missing today, a lethal striker, but above all he is the type of person that is missing from today's football. A good guy with morals and values, down to earth, no shitstorms, was and is adored by every fanbase where he played, focused on football and no other nonsense. He wasn't fast, he couldn't dribble, no tricks, he couldn't shoot from far away, he wasn't flashy but his positioning was elite, he was always where he needed to be. Top class finishing and his headers were worldclass, even tho he wasn't that tall.
Positioning and Finishing God, Miro.
I think every club is missing this type of player. Someone that you know at every game make gol. I remember in serie A player like Di Natale, really really a good player but no one talk about.... he make only gol every Sunday
wish he was on the pitch when I was crossing from left wing. I woulda had way more assists =D
Yeah Klose was the kind of guy who you don't notice untill you see his name on the scoreboard. Not flashy, maybe not even nice goals, but they all counted, and that's what mattered the most. I think a lot of teams are starting to look for players like that again, now that position play has grown so stellarly important. Players that are less flourish, and more forward thinking. Also you really can see Klose came to the party late, as he was incredibly mature about the whole circus that is professional football. A lot of young players are too clever for their own good, but Klose always seemed so down-to-earth and, well, reasonable about everything.
@@the_tactician9858 exactly man. To be honest, I think there are very very few memorable goals from Klose. He never scored from outside the box, no backheel goals, no freekicks, no bicycle kicks or other acrobatic goals. Mostly close range headers and tap ins.
But nobody expected anything else from him, he was always where he was needed to be. Very disciplined in his positional play, a player who tried to help his team-mates wherever he could, who also had no problem not being the target man, for example in his Bayern days when he played with Toni and Gomez.
A lot of younger players would benefit from adapting a little bit of Miros mindset and personality, nowadays everyone thinks he is the main character.
There has never been a more engaging phrase than "so listen to this"
*I like how chill he is.* 😂
*Its like I'm hearing my grandpa talk about his football memories.*
"I swear man" is a solid contender, shoutout to Schtein
YUI PFP MASSIVE W
I was always in awe of his heading ability. Man won every header!!
Bierhoff is better at heading
@@nieqhBut Klose was faster than Bierhof, smaller better with the ball on his feet and so on. Klose was a small player but he had good timing and was a powerful jumper. Very valuable player with a good game also without the ball. He ran a lot on the field as well. Not the best striker but a very good and reliable one especially if you can provide him with flanks.
@@alexanderkullik4583 klose was better player than bierhoff but if you talk about header, I think bierhoff was better than Klose
Bierhoff ist a Joke. Klose ist für best header Player all time.
His timing on the header was phenomenal.
@@nieqh Bierhoff Head Game was similar to Hrubesch. Klose in his early years, especially in Kaiserslautern, was far more dynamic.
I wish Germany had a striker like him again. It’s been 10 years and they haven’t been able to replace him. Nothing but love for Miro Klose.
Yeah I'd love to trade 9489881 of our midfielders for 1 prime Klose.
I considered Thomas Muller as the Klose replacement. Nothing really flashy about him but amazing intelligence and timing and so many goals.
Muller is not good at finishing....
@@johnthompson457 Müller is not a striker thou. And he hasn’t scored in the last three. If tournaments. Klose scored in every single one he’s been in.
When narrator said - no one remembers Klose I was like nah I do. The last World Cup i was watching the matches think - Germany has no finisher, where is Klose?
The only reason why Klose is constantly underrated is that he doesn't like the limelight and people don't know the difference between real class and showmanship. Maybe if Miro took a fancy wife, insulted journalists, plastered his arms with tattoos, had featured on FIFA covers and had an online cooking show he would have received the recognition that he deserved. Apart from three unlucky years at Bayern Munich, he always stayed with smaller clubs, which is fitting to his modest personality. He is not only the World Cup's but also Germany's most prolific goalscorer (and this is certainly not for a lack in competition: Klinsmann, Müller, Rummenigge, Völler ...). More importantly, he was the perfect center forward, enormously gifted technically (just watch his second goal against Ecuardor at WC 2006) who was able to do double double passes with his teammates in the opponents' area. A centerpiece in one of Germany's best national teams of all time. Germany have never really recovered from his departure in 2014.
Klose was on at least one FIFA cover in Germany
FIFA 08@@PatataMaxtex
@@PatataMaxtex Yep in 08 I believe
He had what a lot of strikers don't have: timing. Where other players create goals through skill, dribbling, amazing finishing, strength and power, Klose just used his natural sense of timing to always attack the ball at its highest point, to be at the back post for flick-ons, near post for knockdowns, penalty spot for rebounds and so on. That he also was stronger than his size suggested and had a great footballing brain didn't hurt either - but that timing was probably amongst the best the world has seen.
id rather call it instinct,timing is part of it but the thing is,you cant learn it,you can kinda train it but since its a feeling thing you sharpen,müller right now has a similar instinct,thats why you dont need other things like speed strenght or technique though he had them all,at one point klose was the most dangerous striker regarding headers...normaly players who hardcore rely on instinct have temperament like balotelli but klose was humble and team oriented which made him one of the best assist striker for germany and let him slip under the radar since he doesnt command attention on court
Best was, when you stole the ball from the goalkeeper, he waited also for their mistakes.
@@mrkickintheskybro what u mean? Of course one can learn timing it is simply a tacit rather than explicit skill. If u understand your teammates and opponents you will know where and when to go. It’s a much more abstract skill than learning e.g. to kick a ball but it’s still a skill you can acquire.
I think "instinct" in sport is often the result of hard work. The ability to be at the right place at the right moment is the result of observation and a lot of practice.
yes bro@@hw2508
In Germany his status as a legend is uncontested. A truly exceptional player with an exceptional career.
Players like Klose are why Die Mannschaft works…he’s not creative and flashy because he doesn’t have to be…his job was to finish…and he did it at a high level!
Btw never heard any German call this Team "die Mannschaft" except the marketing department of the DFB.
Too bad people always measure Klose by his goals (which is understandable, considering his numbers). They often overlook his importance for the German offense in general. On the hight of the Löw era between 2010 and 2014, Germany's attack with Klose, Müller, Özil and Reus/Schürrle was unplayable. If they felt like it, they could shred almost any opponent to pieces with goals coming from any player from anywhere on the field at any time. And Klose was a center piece in this system, not only with his goals.
It is called Nationalmannschaft. "Die Mannschaft" is a woke abomination.
Die Mannschaft doesn’t work, as soon as they started calling them that the team declined. It’s the damn German national team. And yes patriotism is part of it, hate that nowadays people here in Germany have a problem with that.
It's the Nationalmannschaft , "Die Mannschaft" was stupid try to create a "politically correct" name. And absolutely nobody liked it.
Finally, after years of requesting my favourite player ever you did it, thanks A LOT. Miroslav Klose is the perfect athlete because of his professionalism and hard work. He is underrated and a legend(even at club level!) and he BELONGS in a generation of great strikers: Raúl, Sevchenko, Inzaghi, Crespo, Torres, Drogba, Keane, Luca Toni, Owen, Villa, Berbatov
And Milito
100%!
agreed👊👊
crespo, a target, that you can find 🤣🤣
bro he is not your favorite player of all time come o
Unlike most good scorers he was never looking for attention. He just got on the field and did his job. A very down to earth guy with a sixth sense to always be in the right spot. I can't even remember any flashy high profile advertising featuring him. His parents did a fantastic job raising a fine man.
I once read, that in his later years, he was the one who told the younger players not to leave their rubbish in the team bus (because of respect for the driver). I thinks that stands symbolic for his character.
Klose admitting to the referee that a penalty his team received because he was fouled and giving back that penalty describes what a great sportsman he was. He actually did it it twice in his career. That and his headers is what made him one of my favorite players of all time.
I think this man happened to find himself in the right place at the right time every damn time.
Unbelievable.
this exact skill is why i think poachers shouldn’t be reduced to a “lesser player”, the amount of knowledge you need on timing, positioning, knowing when to run and when to stay back is extremely difficult especially in top leagues when defenders are damn near as quick as you
That's a rare skill. You can't develop it, you need to born with it. It's called Luck 🍀
@@0xluffy There ain't no luck in his record. That just statistically doesn't make sense. It's called skill.
Not 'happened to find', he FOUND it due to his football intelligence and goal poaching instinct.
People who use "goal-tapping merchant'are idiots pretending to know about football. Football is as much about moving with the ball, and movement WITHOUT the ball.
@@banyakakal4299Yep, these are the type of guys when they play football they go up front and just stand around until the ball is passed to their feet. So they would never understand the actual ability required off the ball the score the goals
Here in german, this dude is a fucking legend. Its interesting to see that he has such a lower stand outside of germany. But here... this guy was the last "real" striker and since his retiretment we have the the "striker problem". Everyone of us wants him or a player like him back. Just a fucking legend!
I’m in england and klose is so underrated, he’s not r9 or Messi, he’s klose, right place at the right time, alltime top wc goalscorer
I'm sorry, I didn't know this and am truly baffled by this:
There are people out there that think Klose was a fluke / only scored easy goals and that he wasn't a fantastic player?
Lmao some people just discredit their own opinions about football so obviously.
Klose was a striker with INCREDIBLE work attitude. Someone the young players always looked up to because he always did a little more than anyone else. A player that didn't shy away from the dirt and mud and the uglyness of hard work. A goalscorer that didn't mind not standing in the spotlight if he thought someone else had a better chance to score.
Klose was a true teamplayer.
The only people that would deem him 'unworthy' are braindead social media zombies that only care about loud and flashy folks - I can see why Klose would be too calm, quiet and based for them.
Klose is such a humble person. I was lucky enough to get to know him before his final break through in Kaiserslautern, as my dads best friend was manager at Kaiserslautern II. I remember when he just took his first steps with in the Bundesliga just being the same down to earth person, the only difference was that he paid for our drinks now.
Through that connection I met a lot of big talents and future Bundesliga players, and he was the only one who was just a "regular" guy. Not saying that most of them were a-holes, but some for sure were, some were also really arrogant. Of course at least half of them were "ordinary," he just was special in his humble behaviour. It's about 20 years or even longer since I met him last, but everytime I saw him in an interview I always had the feeling his personality still was the same.
What a great Story! But why you lost contact? Seems like you really like this guy!
@@marvinbraukmann69It's not like we were freinds it's more like we've been at the same locations at the same time connected over other people.
Klose had a good technic. He can hold the ball. Is very strong in Header and shooting is good too.
Here in Brazil, there wasn't a single Germany game in which we wouldn't compliment him. His positional judgment is just too good.
nice, especially because brazilians sure know a thing or two about football. game recognize game...
My goat 🐐
Also klose had speed but he wasn't on Thierry Henry or mbappe level he was still kinda fast
ofc hes white
@@Aura_322and you're racist
@@emanuelfer456 stop acting like you do the same thing on instagram reels 💀🙏
@@emanuelfer456 theres always that one manchild
It speaks for itself that even in Germany, the success from 2002-2014 with always semi finals in world cups was barely linked to him. But I always saw it, from his first goal vs Saudi Arabia to his last against Brazil. And honestly, I cried when he scored the 2-0. Not because it was the start of an epic match (7-1) but because he, the nobody, took the throne from Ronaldo as the best World Cup scorer. I don't have to mention how heavy I cried when Germany won the World Cup and Klose lifting the trophy. The star who never acted like one. The dude who was in question if he should come to the world cup in Brazil. It is just such an emotional story and I already know that in 100 years from now on, his portrait will be right next to Franz Beckenbauer or Gerd Müller, as one of the greatest players Germany ever witnessed.
Klose is soo underrated
Klose would make defensive tackle and win the team the ball deep in their own half and 10 seconds later score the goal on the other side of the pitch. He did that all the time. LEGEND
Klose, one of the best strikers in a national team ever, insane ^_^
I still remember the 7-1 win vs Brazil, it was sick odds like 2.5 vs 2.5 haha, Germany had won like 5 in a row and Brazil had been playing very bad, took a big bet on Germany that day :)
I'm brazilian, and I also bet on Germany. I knew they were going to win. I just didn't expected it would be so easy.
In German tv a drunk German said it will be a 7 - 1 win. He should have had made a bet 😂
@@sehu1291 Legende der Typ!
there was a store that said it would give 10% per goal germany shot vs brazil. The store was sold out a day after the game
@@sehu1291oh gott den hab ich schon komplett vergessen 😂😂😂😂
He is the personification of the phrase "no player is bigger than the team".
A virtue that most younger, instagram-addicted players have forgotten.
Like Jinpachi Ego said: "You dont need a unique goal, you need a formula to reconstruct goals over and over"
Miroslav Klose was a lethal striker in the likes of Paolo Rossi, David Trezeguet, Filippo Inzaghi. Whoever uses "poacher" or "tap-in merchant" to define those type of strikers, has zero clue of what really football is about.
I prefer to them as Assassins. They are efficient and unnoticable until they strike. They plan the game two three steps ahead, where prodigies make their moves on the spot, they plan to be at the perfect position at the perfect time. Their skill is their smartness.
But he was so much more! An incredible hard worker and lots of assists.
71 goals for Germany in 137 games is truly incredible.
I heard it here first but have said it myself often: Klose was Thomas Müller before Thomas Müller knew what he was going to become :)
Klose walked so Müller could run. Honestly the 2 are my favourite German players ever, I love players that end up forgotten right until you see their name on the scoresheet of every single match they play, simply because they rub 2 braincells together to figure out where to be at what time to score. Call it goal poaching if you want, but playing intelligently is way too underappreciated in a time where the showy football of 2010 Barça and Spain has been dead in a ditch for multiple years.
His name was carved in the hearts of German football fans even before he won the world cup.
A bit of historical context. His father family comes from a region In Poland called Silesia, Silesia was always part of Germany, it was only till post ww2 were Silesia become polish. And his father Josef had German citizenship since birth. So saying he's an complete outsider is simply not true. Miroslav is ethnically German and his father is German
This is context I really needed in order to understand his statement about having a German passport. Without context it sounded like he simply wanted to join the better team, out of character. Always thought Podolski and Klose should've played for Poland if that's their ethnicity. It upsets me that some (most) of the wealthy countries that can afford good football academies also happen to be colonial powers and greatly benefit from a resulting manpower advantage. So I'm glad to hear that he was just playing for his country and not a part of that.
If his ethnicity was German, he wouldn't be named Miroslav. It is a polish name.
ok, so? whats your point lol @@GM-gb1eu
@@LimaKilo17 That he is ethnically Polish, not German.
because he has a polish name? smoothbrain lol. also klose is german@@GM-gb1eu
Every german football fan remembers Kloses headers! One of my fave childhood players.
And his front flips. I can't tell you how many times i tried to do one or saw other kids try to do one after scoring 😂😂😂 it's a miracle that none of us ever got any injuries from fucking it up on a concrete pitch😅
Thanks for the video. He's my first football idol, a very underrated striker, clinical in front of goal. He left his mark at the football biggest stage, and the world of football will remember him for that. He's also remembered for his fair play act with Bremen in 2005 and Lazio in 2012.
my dad used to say about him, that he is a typical striker...
he can read a situation and is at the right place at the right time!
finishing and positioning, man!
Thank you for this great video! Miro Klose might be one of the most underrated players in football history. Such a rar profile of a player, especially on the highest level. He was an elite goal scorer and an equaly great assist provider. He was extremely consistant, composed, hard working and a role model in terms of work ethics and fairness. Over his whole carreer he always had the ability to decide games on a pretty regular basis and at the same time being a total team player that would always give the ball to a teammate in a better position instead of being selfish. He never complained and he always put the team's success over his personal glory. It's 10 years since he retired from the national team and to this day Germany never had a striker that could come even close to him. In his prime, he was nothing short of worldclass.
Need to do a video on Ruud Van Nistelrooy 👀
as a German, Klose always come into my mind first when thinking about World Cups
His link up play with Muller and Ozil was phenomenal, also he has a very underrated Lazio career, I remember his goal against Roma 2-1 and his 5 goal against Bologna.
Klose was no nonsense. A true striker
My favorite player and an absolute legend for Werder and Germany 💚🤍 . A great player who shone with his aerial strength, worker mentality and character.
Klose is the type of player our national team was missing since he ended his career and certainly needed and still need (besides better communication/leaders on the field, a better defensive structure and more effort in general).
He was never flashy, but his positioning and skills to score were very good. The type of player everyone can rely on to bury the ball in the net when they manage to give him a good pass or flank.
Im not German, but what he did for his nation was absolutely fantastic. He fit perfectly into their team dynamic & style of play...
Even if his goals do not look flashy, they are the hardest ones to make. Do not forget: he scored lots of goals in the box, but he also assisted superbly. Both is only possible with superior intuition, nerves of steel, AND excellent 360 degree awareness of your teammates. The success of this player shows that football is not just about legs, but brains.
Thanks for that, Klose was a hero to me, especially in his time for Werder Bremen.
I loved watching Klose, he was just so elegant. No flash, didn't talk trash.. nothing. Just there to score goals and help his teammates.
Finaly a Video about Miroslav Klose. Thank You! He is so Underrated!
He had great header capabilities and a good instinct. He scored a lot. However, his best quality was something different: He was a team player. He created spaces for his teammates. Defenders concentrated on him because, obviously, he was dangerous in the zone. And he knew how to take advantage of that to deter them from his teammates. That's why he was so valuable. Even without touching the ball, he played a big part in so many goals.
That moment in the finals when he left the field for Götze and gave him that hug, is THE legendary passing of the torch in german football history! Its like Klose said, he just knew that Götze would be the one to bring us the world cup and what came next...is history
What I liked about him was his unwavering willingness to help out in the back whenever necessary. How he still managed to be in the right spot at the right time to score his many goals is a mystery to me.
Thanks for saluting one of the finest to ever put on the white jersey, both as a player and a man.
crazy how humble he was, for me he was just as much a star like all the others. never really thought of him being lesser known as the others, but i also live in germany
I loved this video so much! Thank you for very emotional 16 minutes! I swear this video was something else!
Klose is a legend in Germany since he is gone I always wish for a striker like him, no one else is as consistent as he was
Klose is one of the best German striker
He is the only Striker they had in the 21 st century 😂
There is no player I have more respect for than Klose. His playing and especially his persona are second to none and he's the type of player that is dearly missed in the German national team ever since he hung up the boots
Klose didn‘t try to become a kind of Rockstar. He came, scored and won. He‘s a true legend in the history of German football
I didn't forget. I think of him as the goat. I watched him as a kid. He wasn't fancy he worked he won. He is my childhood hero
I still remember when I was 9years old. When watching on the tv, my dad always said that it was going to be a goal whenever Klose got the ball in the enemy penalty area.
in Germany, we still miss him.
He was the most down to earth player I have ever seen, always very polite and humble.
but he was also a true sportsman:
one time at lazio, he accidently scored a goal with his arm, the referee wasnt sure, so he asked Klose. He addmitted scoring with his arm, and the goal got taken back.
When I travelled a big part of the World in 2016 I had a Klose Jersey with me. Everytime I wore it people came to me to talk about him. Everyone loved him for his humbleness, some kid even did his salto. I will never forget those moments.
In the qualifiers for World Cup 2010 Finland and Germany were drawn into the same group. Both games ended in a draw, 3-3 and 1-1, which was not a bad result at all for Finland. The tragic thing for us is that four times our goal put us ahead, and four times Germany clawed back. In the game played in Helsinki Finland took the lead three times, and three times Germany equalized with a goal by, you guessed it, Miroslav Klose. I have nothing but respect for the man, but I would be lying if I said I didn't hate his guts that day. 😄
I love those grounded humble players like Klose, Lahm and Hector. These three are my alltime favourites. I miss this kind of player in the German nationalteam nowadays.
lahm is not humble at all. he was kind of selfish, to be honest, in his career. not really on the pitch but his decisions beside it. it was all about his career.
Finally a Miroslav Klose content. 😍 Thank you .
i remember when he joined Lazio, i was shouting and cheering like a madman, Klose is a true Legend!
Thanks so much for this great video. Worthy of this man's amazing contributions to Die Mannschafft.
One my favorite players, thank you for making a video about him 🙏🏼
Waited So Long For This Vid, so glad a vi of Klose was finally made
Same bro
Soooooo listen to this. My fave thing about a weekend. Thanks for the content 👍
Soo,listen to this..That's a good one👀😉
Great video
One of the most down to earth strikers....glad you show some love for him
Miro is an all-time german legend!
Beautiful story and career despite those injurys
Best football storytelling channel on youtube. His voice and accent is very calming
He just never seemed to look any older! What a player
Amazing video, as per usual, this story made me tear up a little, thanks!
What a heartwarming and great video.
mais um grande vídeo! obrigado
as someone who is a fan of klose since his werder bremen days i totally agree with the sentence that he never exceeded in anything, with the exclusion of a good nose and endurance.
he has the striker gene knowing were to be which you only find a few times per generation and the endurance to help his team in midfield
He wasn't the fastest, but he wasn't exactly slow either. He wasn't the most technically gifted, but he wasn't bad technically either. He was a deadly finisher, he hat basically the best timing for headers that I have ever seen, he was a very intelligent player who always looked for team mates in better positions and he was always an incredibly hard worker on the pitch. As he is my all time favorite player there are of course lots of goals that I remember quite clearly. Especially since he has scored quite a few for my team Werder Bremen.
Klose actually had not only really good instinct in terms of where the ball would end up (and how to score) but also had really great pace and very good dribbling skills. Anybody who doubts that has never actually watched Klose play.
I am so happy about this documentary. Klose was my favorite striker in our national team and was the best fit for the team 2006 until 2014. Now we were in need for a striker like that for such a long time. I can see some of him in up and coming Denis Undav. Hope he's his footballing incarnation. 🎉😊
Even the struggle in the beginning of their careers is fairly similar.
the most humble player all time who played at that level
A very introverted, quiet and calm personality = "the Anti-Showman"...but with an immense will to win BUT always in a fair manner...he simply never ever played nasty or dirty.
Simply the most modest and sympathetic of the goats. A true role model, not just for kids.
Thank you for this video. He was my hero
One of my most liked player. Loved his style, mentality and most importantly, his finishing !
Absolute Legend!
Klose ist one of the best strikers who ever played. Football, and lots of fans forget that, isn't about fancy tricks. It's about scoring goals and preventing goals. Klose was an incredibly hard working striker who knew exactly where he had to be at all times to score. That level of game intelligence is very rare.
Thanks for covering my favourite player and reminding me of his remarkable achievments :D
Klose was the last world class scorer Germany had. You see what happened since he quit. Nowadays midfielders often play in the first row.
Klose was a classic scorer: he knew where the goal is and where to be at the right time. And he had crazy header. He could jump ridiculously high
Miroslav klose is the definition of a player who plays the game at its purest. Humble respectfull, great ethic, honorable in n out the field. Legendary player.
He was that type of striker that is often missed nowadays. Good finishing in the box, good header, good positioning, good work rate, good movement off the ball.
A striker is not about what Ronaldo and Messi have shown us. A striker is not about dribbling past 5 defenders. That's the skill off a winger or an attacking midfielder. Gerd Müller was also not exceptional at dribbling past 5 defenders.
And Klose certainly does not care about what people think about his play.
Klose maybe is one of the last world class players from Europe that did not go through a modern scouting system.
He was also able to play both the poacher with a player like Podolski as a second forward. Or as a second forward himself next to a big man like Luca Toni.
Great video, I really enjoyed this one.
Chills mate. SO GOOD
