One month after breaking the all-time World Cup scoring record Klose has called it quits on his international career.
“Lifting the trophy in Brazil was the fulfillment of a childhood dream for me,” he said.“I had a unique and wonderful time with the Nationalmannschaft and enjoyed many unforgettable moments,” he went on. “I cannot think of a better time to bring the international chapter of my career to a close.”
Klose becomes the second German player after Philipp Lahm, to retire from the German national team since the World Cup.
Both will continue to play club soccer, and both are to be honored when Germany plays in Düsseldorf on Sept 3rd — a friendly repeat of the World Cup final against Argentina.
