Klose Klose, Germany's World Cup hero, Bayern's team superstar, is his shoulder of the heavy responsibility of the two teams together with Ballack and Kahn in the dark days of Germany and Bayern, and it is he who is willing to be the green leaf of the team to assist the new generation of Germany and Bayern in the glorious era of Germany and Bayern. Selflessness is the hallmark of Klose, and it is also the epitome of the football philosophy and epitome of more than 130 years of German players sacrificing themselves to protect the interests of the team.
Klose was already a Bundesliga superstar before coming to Bayern, showing his ability to score goals and assists in Kaiserslautern and Bremen. In the summer of 2007, Bayern, eager to rebuild, brought in Klose, who set a record for the transfer fee within the Bundesliga at that time with a value of 15 million euros and an annual salary of 8 million euros.
Klose immediately proved that the club's investment was worth it, scoring 21 goals and providing 12 assists in 39 appearances in his first season. Klose's assists are more rare than goals, as a goalscorer, he often gives up his chances to assist teammates to score, which is enough to be commendable, and most of Klose's assists are given to his striker partner Luka Toney, who also helped Toni win the Bundesliga Golden Boot, and the team regained the domestic double under the leadership of Klose, Toney and Ribery trident. In the following season, the team built the team with Klose as the core of the attack, and Klose lived up to expectations by handing in perfect goals and assists. Especially in the Champions League, Klose led Bayern to the knockout stage of the Champions League with an outstanding performance, but unfortunately Klose was injured later and had to be reimbursed for the season. In the next two seasons, Klose, who was plagued by injuries, did not perform as well as before, and he had to leave Bayern Munich and move to Lazio.
Compared to the drift of the club, Klose's international career has not been smooth. In 2002, at the age of 24, Klose made his debut at the World Cup, finishing with a silver boot finish in the scorer list and a runners-up finish. In the 2006 World Cup, Klose shone and won the World Cup Golden Boot with 5 goals and 2 assists, but the German team fell to the feet of eventual champions Italy in the semi-finals. Euro 2008 and the German Cup 2010 were both defeated by Spain, and it was a rare time for Germany to wrestle with the Armada in those days. In the 2014 World Cup, the 36-year-old Klose participated in the World Cup for the last time. In this tournament, Klose has been relegated to the bench. But he still seized one of the few opportunities to score two goals, surpassing Ronaldo with a total of 16 World Cup goals, becoming the all-time top scorer in the World Cup, and Germany finally won the Hercules Cup. After winning the World Cup, Klose played for two more seasons at Lazio before retiring.
During Klose's Bayern career, he won two Bundesliga titles, two German Cups, one German Super Cup and one Champions Cup runner-up. In addition, he won the World Cup championship, runner-up and third place with the German team, and the European Cup runner-up once, not only crowned the World Cup all-time scorer, but also the German national team's all-time scorer.
