Miroslav Klose German National Team

MIROSLAV KLOSE: "I stopped playing football because I no longer recognized it. Nowadays, young people think about other things. As a child, I only thought about training and becoming someone in this sport that I always loved. At Lazio and with the national team, after every training session, I would get into a bathtub full of ice to avoid injuries. But the young players on the team systematically refused. When they saw me picking up the bags of balls to store them at the end of training, they said to me, 'But who ordered you to do that?' At that moment I told myself: 'Are you 20 years old and can't help a 60-year-old worker?' They care more about whether their boots match their socks. That's why I said enough. The football I knew no longer exists."
