Rebirth of the Football Tycoon

A few days ago, German striker Klose accepted an exclusive interview with the Süddeutsche Zeitung, mainly on the recent transfer rumors. He hinted that he would not rule out the possibility of joining Bayern this summer.

NetEase Sports June 6 News The Süddeutsche Zeitung is one of the largest daily newspapers in Germany. With its seriousness and sharpness, it has become a keen observer and authoritative voice in German current affairs politics and social culture. This may be the reason why the German national team forward Klose, who has been silent recently, chose to expose his own mind. Why did he fall sharply in the second half of the Bundesliga? Are recent scandals about his family life true? How does he view criticism? Will he move to Bayern Munich? In this interview, Klose sincerely answered these concerns.

South Germany: Mr. Klose, have you practiced penalty kicks since last Saturday?

Klose: No. Why do you ask?

South Germany: Because when asked why you didn't take a penalty in the game last Saturday, you said you never shoot a penalty.

Klose: I said at the time that my penalty percentage was poor. Only about half. We have negotiated in advance for Schneider or Frings to punish.

South Germany: But when a shooter falls into a goal shortage, a penalty is a good way to restore confidence.

Klose: Even if I scored two goals in the game, some people would say: That is just San Marino. The most important thing for me is to be able to play again healthy. But indeed, if I scored a goal, maybe I will feel better now.

South Germany: For you, did the head coach of the national team, Loew, determine your starting position against the Slovak team so early?

Klose: Of course not. We had a lot of conversations. He knew my abilities very clearly and stood beside me. I know what I can do when I am healthy: I can find my place in any club in the world. That's it.

South Germany: After returning from the World Cup in 2002, you also experienced a trough. Did you not have such self-confidence then?

Klose: At that time, I thought I was the best striker in the world, and I completely relaxed myself. Enjoy a relaxing vacation and enjoy yourself. Then my state plummeted. And now I have proved my strength. Whether it is Waller, Bierhof or Klinsmann. All of them have experienced long or short periods of low tide, and they have successfully stepped out of them. I can do this too.

South Germany: What action does Miloslav Klose need to take to return to the top?

Klose: Confident. Every striker needs confidence. The longer the goal is not scored, the harder it is for confidence to return.

South Germany: This is the most basic requirement. What else do I need?

Klose: I must maintain good health. It would be bad if I couldn’t jump and rush. I am not looking for excuses for myself. But my physical condition throughout the season has not been very good.

South Germany: You rarely mentioned your injuries before. Why not disclose these things to the outside world?

Klose: Haha, I have had this disease for a long time. Now I feel much better, the coaches and teammates of the national team are on my side. This feels good.

Nande: From your teammates Kuranyi and Gomez, you can really hear their respect for you. But yesterday your club teammate Frings criticized you unusually harshly. He said: "I don't think he wants to stay in Bremen. If that's the case, he should be gone." How would you rate this?

Klose: I think everyone has the right to make their own speeches. I can't stop them. I myself did not say a word when he negotiated with Juventus, because I think this is his personal thing. I can't control what he says to me. To be honest, I don't care.

South Germany: Did you sit down and talk to him?

Klose: Everyone who knows Torsten (Flins) knows that he is talking on the sides of the wall, and he will say whatever the media is blowing, and it will change every moment. I have known him for a long time.

South Germany: Your other teammate Mertesacker said: "If he continues to stay with us this year, maybe he will be very depressed." Do you know this?

Klose: Of course.

Nande: What if this happened?

Klose: I have no opinion at all. My contract is until 2008. Anything can happen in football.

Nande: How did you spend your time in Bremen? From our point of view, it doesn't seem very good. Many Bremen fans are very angry with you. Can you feel it?

Klose: Yes.

South Germany: For example?

Klose: Too many. Irony and insult, everything imaginable. The hostility of the fans of Bremen and Bayern is very high, because both teams want to win the championship. But as a professional player I have to bear all this.

South Germany: Does the pressure from the auditorium affect your performance?

Klose: Yes. influential.

South Germany: Can you get rid of these influences? Klose: Yes. If the voice of the media is friendly, I will be very happy. But I will not let them get too close to me. After I got home and closed the door, I became an ordinary father. This is the most important thing for me.

Nande: Did the audience's boos sting you?

Klose: The worst are the lies about my private life. Some "dirty groups" have fabricated such a lie: My wife is pregnant because of a teammate. I despise this rumor, but I must clarify: My family is very, very happy. I love my wife and children more than anything. I am a happy father.

South Germany: Do you know the source of these scandals?

Klose: I believe I know who wants to destroy my reputation. I will return to them in due course.

South Germany: Earlier rumors about you and Bayern have intensified. Everyone knows that this transfer is in operation, but you have never come forward to explain this matter. Many people are disappointed with you.

Klose: You must understand: I don't care what people do to me. These things are best resolved internally. I talked with Alofs and expressed my attitude. The important thing is that everyone involved in this matter knows what I think~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I haven't changed, I am still honest. What I did wrong was: I should inform the Bremen Club in advance of my meeting with Bayern.

South Germany: So now Alofs and Schaffer know this?

Klose: Important stakeholders know this. But trust me, not all players know.

South Germany: Why not just say it: This last year has not helped me and Yunda much. Let me transfer to Bayern now!

Klose: I still have a contract until 2008. In fact, I haven't achieved the level I expected in the past six months. I am not satisfied with this. The club is not satisfied either. We did not complete the goals set in advance, and there are my reasons.

South Germany: So before the relationship between the two deteriorates?

Klose: We can't say yet that our relationship has been greatly affected.

Nande: But if you stay, will everything really be as harmonious as before?

Klose: If I leave and play well, people will say that this transfer is worth it. If I stayed and scored two goals in the first game, it would be good too.

South Germany: To sum it up: I have made a decision myself, and the next thing is for the club.

Klose: Absolutely.

Nande: Has your wishes been fully communicated to the club?

Klose: I spoke my own feelings.

South Germany: Did you get the right advice from the economic man?

Klose: I have worked with my economic man for 5 years and have absolute trust in each other. We will continue to do so in the future. He can make suggestions to me, but I also have my own opinions. The final decision rests with me.
