Oliver Bierhoff can do whatever he wants, he always looks good. The hairs are perfect as once in his commercial for L'Oreal Shampoo, a gentle tan suggests a close recently spent a holiday in the sun. Wrinkles? Not applicable. And yet: Even Bierhoff ages - if unnoticed by the public. Miroslav Klose (32), however, knows that the ravages of time and the immaculate manager of the football team.
He has good comparative data. First, he sees the 42-year-olds regularly if they meet the elite kickers again to an international match. Second, he knows Bierhoff still in short trousers. "Miro has been geflachst that he has not played with me, and I would have become quite old because I'm so long out," Bierhoff said on Wednesday with a smile.
Exactly ten years ago it was on 24 March 2001, when the two together for the first time for Germany were on the field. Bierhoff as a world-class striker, who five years earlier, Germany had made with his first goal for the European champions. And Klose who, although already 22 years old, but still inexperienced as a Dreikäsehoch.
When the striker of the 1st FC Kaiserslautern in the third qualifying match for World Cup 2002 in the 73rd Minute Oliver Neuville came off the bench, the German team stood on the brink of embarrassment. Although it had won the first two games against Greece and England, but now it was 1-1 with Albania, then the number 75 in the world.
As Klose headed home two minutes to the winner, he saved not only team chief Rudi Voeller tough questions, but laid the foundation for one of the most remarkable careers in recent decades. On Saturday, his 107th Klose International game contest, there is no doubt that he is also in European Championship qualifying match against Kazakhstan back on the field.
As can be storm rival Mario Gomez, with whom he fights in the club as in the national team to the place of the center forward, meet in the Bundesliga, as he wants. For Klose has dissociated itself from the current measurement tools long ago. National Team Rate the German players! Usually analyzed a national coach services in the League and European Cup, adding the last international matches and moves to the checksum.
In Klose, however, came in the fall out is not much. At Bayern, he played 13 of 27 season games in the last seven games coach Louis van Gaal changed him one for about 20 minutes. Overall, he achieved a goal of the season. Loew would treat its military as every other national team striker, he would delete the account after such a number from the phone.
But in the Dress of the German Football Association Klose was on his last 13 missions in each whistle on the field, his most recent Substitution dates from 2009. He has become an institution, irrevocable and indispensable. While colleagues on his long journey - all the Kuranyi, Asamoah and Gomez '- again and again weakened, it could run at Klose however modest in the club.
"Klose remains set. About him there is no discussion with us. He has a high standing with us - regardless of whether he plays for Bayern or not. Everyone has seen the World Cup, how important it is for us. There is no reason to doubt him, "Germany coach Loew said recently. Klose came to the national team, he met 59 times in 106 games.
He headed Germany with his goal in the World Cup quarter-final in 2006 against Argentina in the ultimately victorious penalty shootout. His goal for 1-0 in World Cup qualifier against Russia in October 2009 brought the German team to South Africa where he scored four goals. With 14 goals in three World Championships, he is behind Ronaldo and together with the great Gerd Muller's second-leading scorer at world tournaments.
"It is impressive, as he pushes aside any crisis when it comes to us," says Oliver Bierhoff. Nine goals, then he has set the supposed all-time record of Müller (68 goals). "I wish him well," said Bierhoff, "he's just a very important player for us." Important - and unhappy. He suffers on the Bayern bench, but comes on strong Gomez currently indispensable.
"I must be content, what gives me Louis van Gaal. I'm getting used to it, to be condemned to watch, "he told the" Bild "and added:" Yet another year it will not happen. I am playing in any case under a different coach. "That's right, finally leaves the van Gaal's most successful. Perhaps Klose but also does so.
His contract expires in the summer, Borussia Dortmund will be interested. Loew also indirectly suggested a change. "If the BVB actually hires such considerations, I could understand very well," Dortmund's managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke told the world yesterday, however: "Miroslav Klose is an excellent striker.
But we have in Lucas Barrios and Robert Lewandowski also two strong attackers. In this respect, Klose is currently not an issue with us. "
