the landmark according to the veteran, who also
opened the door for a return to the Germany setup
Former Germany striker Miroslav Klose is
tipping Thomas Muller to surpass his World Cup
goal tally.
The striker's 16th World Cup goal in the 7-1 semi-
final win over hosts Brazil in last year's
tournament established him as the highest scorer
ever at the championships.
However, Klose believes Bayern Munich forward
Muller, who has found the net 10 times in the
competition already, will make the record his own
by the end of his career.
“Thomas Muller could become the record scorer in
the World Cup. He already has 10 goals," the
veteran told Bild . "If he stays healthy, I assume he
can still play in two more tournaments.
"Thomas has a nose for goals. In addition, he
takes charge of penalties, something I was never
allowed to do.”
Klose joined Per Mertesacker and Philipp Lahm in
retiring from international football at the end of
Germany's triumphant World Cup campaign, but
has now revealed he would be keen to slip back
into die Mannschaft colours.
“I talked to Germany coach Joachim Low just
several weeks ago. A return to the national team is
no issue at the moment," the 37-year-old, who
recently signed an extension until 2016 with Lazio,
said.
"One should never say never. My professional
career only began at 21, really. Maybe that's why I
can still play for longer.
