Miroslav Klose Related Content
Germany are 3rd in the FIFA World Rankings at the moment, but Miroslav Klose believes that everyone looks at the DFB Eleven “with envy”.

Germany indeed look invincible at the moment. Their recent 3-2 defeat of Brazil only reminded the public about Joachim Lowe and his team’s ambitions. In the Euro 2012 qualifiers, the Germans hold a perfect record. They’ve conceded only 3 goals in 7 matches whereas they surpass the 3 goals per match average.
Germany are poised to go through their UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying campaign without knowing anything else than wins. On Friday night, they will affront Austria in their 8th game of the qualifiers which they are expected to win. According to Miroslav Klose, the time has come for the Germans to genuinely think about celebrateing on a podium.
Group A leaders Germany will be coming up against Austria in their sixth challenge of the Euro 2012 Qualifiers; however, Coach Joachim Loew might not be able to field in the best of sides.

Toni Kroos is presently aiming for a place in the line-up ahead of the encounter in which he is set to partner with Sami Khedira in the midfield. The Real Madrid player was put out of action in April after he tore a thigh muscle, but Khedira recently insisted that he was fit enough to perform for his country on Friday.
Assistant manager Hansi Flick expressed confidence over the talisman’s presence, stating that his health had improved fast enough for him to make his return. With Simon Rolfes available to replace Khedira in case of any late obstacle, Loew can thus look at other areas of his squad, which has lost some of its power through the absence of star striker Miroslav Klose and defender Per Mertesacker.
Real Madrid are set to take this transfer period as a chance to buy a striker. Los Blancos only have Benzema in that position as Higuain has been sidelined for up to 4 months.

Jorge Valdano spoke to the media following Real Madrid’s vital 3-1 victory over Atletico on Thursday night. The Real Madrid general director revealed:
“We are exploring the market because the uncertainty concerning Higuain’s unavailability has been resolved. We want to see if we can get a player for 6 months who can help us.
“There are many names out there which have been mentioned, but I don’t want to go into any detail. However, it’s true that we’re looking for a number 9.”
Transfer rumours have linked Manchester City’s Emmanuel Adebayor with a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Euro 2012 Qualifying
The UEFA Euro 2012 Qualifying returns, and at this point, we take a look at the 5 top scorers so far: Huntelaar, Defoe, Klose, Benayoun, and Torres.
Up to now, there have been only 2 match-days in the Euro 2012 Qualifiers, but some players have managed to make a greater impact than others in the goalscoring chart. In this article, we extract some information on each of the five leading goalscorers, based on the Top Scorers standings from UEFA’s official website.
1. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar: 5 Goals – Netherlands
Huntelaar is a 27-year old forward officially performing under the Netherlands’ national jersey. He also has an on-going career in Germany where he plays for Schalke. In the UEFA Euro 2012 Qualifiers, he has netted a record 5 goals in only 2 appearances. He was quick in scoring for Holland in their qualification for the Euro Championship, as he had no mercy against San Marino on Day 1.
Due to Arjen Robben and Ivica Olic’s unavailability through injury, striker Miroslav Klose is expected to start alone upfront for Bayern Munich when his side opens the 2010/2011 German Bundesliga season with a match against Wolfsburg on Friday.
Now ahead of this encounter, Klose has become subject to transfer issues. It has been reported that the German forward, who is yet to break "Fat" Ronaldo’s FIFA World Cup goal record, is being eyed by UEFA Champions League titleholders Inter Milan.
Italian media Tuttomercatoweb declared that the Nerazzurri are looking to fill the gap created by the selling of Mario Balotelli to Manchester City. Inter Milan Coach Rafael Benitez reportedly has complaints over Brazilian striker Philippe Coutinho who has been used as a supplementary player in this position.
