2018 FIFA World Cup is about to begin and every football fan is talking about records created in history by legendary footballers in previous world cups.
One name that has been on the competition’s team sheets since 2002 and has since made its way into the sport’s history books will be missing―that of Miroslav Klose.
Klose scored his 16th goal at the finals during Germany’s World Cup triumph in 2014, surpassing none other than Brazilian legend Ronaldo in the process. The man they call ‘Miro’ finally retired in 2016 after winning 137 international caps, including 24 World Cup appearances, scoring 71 goals for his country and collecting numerous titles along the way.
The legendary footballer who is now Germany’s attacking coach feels that his record will be broken this summer.
In an interview with FIFA.com, Klose said “There are some fantastic players around, so I think there’s a good chance that my record will be broken at some point, but I’ll just wait and see what happens.”
