In the past, the strong Bundesliga team Werder Bremen was stuck in the relegation circle, getting closer and closer to "the situation is not Germany B". In fact, during the league lockout, Werder Bremen imagined to stop losses in time, and they invited Klose, who coached in the Bayern youth team. Former meritorious service declined this offer.

As a coach, he is still "making up lessons", and now "coming out of the mountain" is obviously not in his plan. "I have played under Rehagel, Shaff, Hitzfeld, Van Gaal and other famous coaches," he said. I think this rich experience will help me in my future coaching career.

Klose is growing up step by step, from Bayern U17 manager to Bayern assistant coach, which is much luckier than when he made his debut, but then again, the harder he works, the luckier he is, Klose is a model for hard work.

At the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Klose came down to earth like a god and really walked into public view as a "header king." the 24-year-old Klose was gilded by the World Cup Silver Boot Award, and many people easily gave him "World War I fame." but Klose, who was selected into the German chariot just a year before the World Cup, was made into steel.

He made his debut against Albania and scored the winning goal in the last minute; against Greece, the substitute scored an equaliser at the end of the game; and twice scored a hat-trick against Israel and Austria.

Time is a bystander, witnessing Klose's counterattack. Klose, who only played in the Bundesliga at the age of 22, can be called a "late bloomer". Without the recommendation of his neighbors, Klose either took the literary route by playing the piano or supported his family by carpenter's craftsmanship, but the football gene given to him by Auxerre's father gave him the capital to go on a rampage.

Rehagel, who promoted him, later admitted: "he is physically talented enough to become a bomber in the penalty area."

From winger to center, Kaiserslautern was given higher expectations in addition to the joy of reaching the semi-finals of the Uefa Cup. In his second season, he scored 16 goals and seven assists in 31 games. Voller chose him for the halo of the best shooter and rookie in the country, but no one believed at the time that he was the star of the disconnected German chariot, but for Klose, who started late, there was no time to wait.

After two tepid years in Kaiserslautern after the World Cup, he chose to leave because of his introverted personality. "I feel like I'm at a standstill, so I need a change of environment to make greater progress," he said.

Werder Bremen, who has been looking for a replacement for Elton, have a penchant for World Cup heroes, while Klose, who often retreats to marry high center Rockvenz, needs to reshape his style in the summer of South Korea and Japan.

Compared with a high salary of 4 million euros, the opportunity is a bright light.

2004-05 season, 10 assists with 15 goals in 32 games; 10 assists with 25 goals in 26 games in 2005-06 season.

2006-07 season 31 games 13 goals 15 assists, Werder Bremen is indeed his lucky, his first goal in the Bundesliga is from the "parrot" Legion, today, there are many fans believe that Werder Bremen is the peak years of Klose, he won the Bundesliga gold boots, but also by virtue of three consecutive years of assists on the double off the "top-heavy" hat.

The famous Klose made the right bet on his career choice, so when Bayern favored him, he was duty-bound to give up his life into "benevolence" and broke up with Werder Bremen. But he needed a bigger platform to carry his ideals at the World Cup in Germany, and it was only natural that he could not afford to wait at the age of 29.

During his four years in Bavaria, Klose was sacrificed and played. 150 appearances contributed 53 goals and 27 assists for Bayern. Six trophies made the late bloomer Klose worthwhile, but in fact, since Van Gaal, his playing time has plummeted, and the German striker, who thinks there is still fuel in the tank, has rejected Bayern's contract extension for another year.

Whoever is afraid will suffer psychologically.

The 33-year-old decided to make it to Serie A, adventurous and exciting, but being able to spend the longest period of his career at Lazio is enough to see his tenacity.

The feat of "Wuzi Dengke" has filled the gap in Serie A for half a century. Klose, who has been the top scorer of the Biancocelesti for three consecutive seasons, did not want to become the king of Lazio, but he continued his legendary journey.

With a desperate struggle and the courage to go against the current, becoming the foreign player with the most goals in the history of Lazio is another diligent blossom and fruit. during this period, the 36-year-old copied his "tradition" at the World Cup in Brazil and surpassed Ronaldo with 16 goals to become the protagonist of the stage.

On his comments, Blatter's speech is representative: "A professional player who always seems to avoid the temptation of the spotlight, a generation of green legends will always make his actions speak louder than words."

In 2016, he ended perfectly with the last goal of his career, as low-key as ever, he just said: "I am lucky."

After many years, people's memory of him is no longer limited to the picturesque somersault and the sharpness of the knife, but conveys another kind of value: "everyone is not born great, but gradually becomes great in the process of growing up." do you believe that Klose, who played in the Bundesliga at the age of 22, will be the best goal in the World Cup?

Do you believe that he can still complete the "Wuzi Dengke" at the age of 35?

Klose is a legend and a story. Today is his birthday. Read this book about youth again.
