If you were to ask who is the top scorer in World Cups, Klose would have to come out ahead of other famous players. Football fans will probably be familiar with him. Whenever we talk about the best strikers, he has to be there, and whenever we talk about the cleanest players, he has to be there. So in this section, let's talk about who Klose is.

Klose had to wait a long time to win the World Cup with Germany. He has competed in the World Cup 4 times and has finished third, second and third in all 4 times, but he has been far from the title. Since the World Cup is held once every 4 years, every time he misses it, he has to wait 4 more years. Since he missed 3 years, mathematically, it is 12 years. He really waited, and in the 2014 World Cup, he was able to win the World Cup he wanted with Germany. It was his last World Cup. In 2014, he was 36 years old. He has played in 24 World Cups and scored 16 goals. Next on the list is Ronaldo Nazario, who has scored 15 goals in 19 appearances in four World Cups. Another great German striker, Gerd Muller, has 13 goals, while Messi and French striker Jacques-Louis Fontaine have 13 goals each. Pele and Mbappe have 12 goals. The World Cup is a very difficult tournament to score goals in. Klose himself won the Silver Boot in the 2002 World Cup and the Golden Boot in the 2006 World Cup, but he was not the top scorer in the 2014 World Cup, when he won the tournament.

He scored once in the group stage draw with Ghana and once in the 7-1 semi-final defeat of Brazil. At 36 years old and not yet a main striker, that is enough to satisfy him. Gotze's goal gave Klose the World Cup he had been waiting for. Klose's life is a bit complicated. He is originally from Poland. He is from the city of Opole. But he is not Polish. His parents are members of the Oświętokrzyskie minority in Poland. They are Germans who did not return from Poland after World War II. He was born in 1978, and both of his parents were athletes. His father, Jozef Klose, was also a footballer. He played for the Polish club Odra Opole, but in 1978 he left to play for the French club Auxerre. After his birth, his mother was a member of the Polish women's national handball team.

In 1986, Klose and his father moved to West Germany, where he had already settled. There, he and his father trained together at Blubach-Deidenbach, a team in the seventh division of West Germany. As he grew older, he had to work as a carpenter's apprentice and gradually learn German. Klose's playing career began at the age of 20. He joined the reserve team of Hoffenheim, a Bundesliga club. After a year, he moved to Kaiserslautern. There, he played in the reserve team and did not make his Bundesliga debut until 2000. He was 22 years old. In the 2001–02 season, he scored 16 goals for the club, two goals short of becoming the Bundesliga's top scorer. In 2004, he moved to Werder Bremen at the age of 26, and in 2007, he moved to Bayern Munich, aged 29. He also moved to Lazio in 2011–12, and by the end of his Lazio career, he had become the club's all-time leading scorer for a non-Italian player, and the seventh-highest scorer in the club's history.

He won two Bundesliga titles, two German Cups, the Champions League for the second time with Bayern Munich, and one Coppa Italia with Lazio. Klose's lack of success at club level was a major disappointment for him. However, he has done a lot for his country.

He also finished second at the Euro 2008 and third in 2012. The World Cup title and the title of World Cup top scorer will remain in his memory. In addition, he is known for his clean style of play, as he has spoken the truth when the referee has awarded a penalty kick, and has had a penalty cancelled. He is also respected for not being a fake player. Another important fact that cannot be left out here is that Klose has scored 71 goals for the German national team, making him the all-time top scorer.
