Lazio's Miroslav Klose: I want to break Germany's goalscoring record
The striker has made it clear that he is eager to replace Gerd Muller's name in the history books, and says he is not thinking about retiring just yet

Bongarts
Germany striker Miroslav Klose has set his sights on breaking the nation's all-time goalscoring record which is currently held by Gerd Muller.

The Lazio striker has netted 62 times for the German national side so far and needs only six more goals to equal Muller's total.

And with the upcoming Euro 2012 qualifiers against Turkey on October 7 and versus Belgium four days later, Klose has an opportunity to bridge the gap.

"I want to break the record with the national team now," Klose was quoted as saying by Bild.

The 33-year-old then went on to make it clear that he is not thinking about hanging up his boots just yet, before adding that he does not fear the competition provided by Bayern Munich's Mario Gomez.

"We want to win all 10 qualifying matches, and then I will speak with the coach about my future.

"I am a spontaneous person, and I will make my decision about when I retire from a gut feeling. But for as long as I am enjoying myself and am free of injury, then I want to keep playing.

"I never fear competition. It is all down to me anyway - when I am fit, I will play. And I am feeling really good."

Klose has been in impressive form since leaving Bayern Munich for Lazio in the summer transfer window, having already netted five times in seven appearances.

Germany 3-1 Belgium: Joachim Low's men finish top of Group A with perfect record as Red Devils miss out on playoff spot
The DFB-Team showed ruthless efficiency as it dispatched the visitors in Dussedorf to finish its Euro 2012 qualification campaign with maximum points.

Belgium proved to be no challenge for Germany on Tuesday night as Joachim Low's men recorded a 3-1 victory to finish top of Group A of the Euro 2012 qualifiers with 10 wins from 10 games.

Mesut Ozil and Andre Schurrle hit the Red Devils with a three-minute double salvo midway through the first half to give the DFB-Eleven a two-goal cushion at halftime.

Shortly after the restart Mario Gomez put the cherry on the cake as he added a third goal with a fine strike, which left Simon Mignolet with no chance.

Marouane Fellaini scored a consolation for the Red Devils just before the final whistle as his team missed out on the playoff spot in the group.

Belgium started the game very well as they tried to pressure Germany's back four right from the beginning. The hosts, however, defended valiantly as they managed to contain the Red Devils, whose desperate attempts to breaks the DFB-team's rearguard were leaving them exposed on the break.

In the 30th minute Gomez was released in a one-on-one with Mignolet, but was denied by the goalkeeper. However, the ball made its way to Ozil, who powered a superb shot from outside the box, which hit the bar before nesting in the net.

Germany did not stop there as three minutes later a quick break saw Gomez release Schurrle on the left flank. The Bayer Leverkusen attacker made a superb 20-yard run before lifting the ball over the goalkeeper to make it 2-0.

Belgium tried to fight back in the remaining minutes to halftime, but the closest it got to scoring was forcing a superb save from Neuer just before the break through Jan Vertonghen.

In the second period the DFB-Eleven picked up right where they left off as Gomez hit the Red Devils with a third right after the restart.

The striker was picked out by Ozil on the edge of the box, superbly managed to neutralize Vincent Kompany, and finished off with a powerful shot in the right corner.

Belgium, visibly disgruntled by the result, lacked incisiveness in attack and rarely threatened to claw a goal back. Germany was content to sit back and soak up the pressure, waiting for a chance on the counter.

Substitute Romeu Lukaku nearly netter in the 70th minute as he managed to shake off Mats Hummels, and sent a magnificent left-footed shot, which Neuer parried superbly.

Belgium did get a goal in the 86th minute through Fellaini, who headed in at the near post, following a corner on the left. This striker, however, proved to be a mere consolation as the game ended 3-1.

Italy's manager Cesare Prandelli told Goal.com that he believes his side is among the challengers of Euro 2012 but admits that Germany, Spain and the Netherlands are in a class of their own. He does believe that the Azzurri's future is bright even if it isn't one of next summer's favorites.

The great striker speaks:

Lazio striker Miroslav Klose says he is planning to call time on his career after the 2014 World Cup.

The Germany international moved to Lazio in the summer to embark on his first-ever experience abroad after stints at the likes of Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich.

Klose has been red-hot in front of goal at the Stadio Olimpico, and his decisive strike in Lazio's 2-1 victory against Roma on Sunday saw him take his tally with the club to six.

The 33-year-old confessed he is looking to see out his career with Lazio, setting the World Cup in Brazil as the last competition in which he will feature.

"If all goes as planned, I will play until 2014 with Lazio," he told Kicker. "Before retiring from football, I will play at the World Cup. "Those who know me well know that the World Cup is my goal."

The former Bayern Munich striker has scored 14 goals in World Cup finals, one less than Brazilian legend Ronaldo, who is the highest scorer in the competition.

Friendly: Ukraine vs Germany Preview
Two years on from the tragic death of Robert Enke, another Hannover goalkeeper is set to stand between the posts for Germany- Ron-Robert Zieler.
Enke took his own life after losing his battle with depression two years ago and Zieler will keep the Hannover flag flying in the national team in Kiev.
He has been promised at least a half of the international friendly by Germany coach Joachim Low.
"Of course I dreamt about this," he told the website of the German Football Association (DFB).
"But it seemed so far away for it to ever seem realistic and I just wanted to take small steps - to establish myself in professional football and then become number one."
The 22-year-old's career has come on leaps and bounds, culminating in the senior Germany debut after representing his country through the youth ranks from under-16 to under-20.
He was not at Hannover when Enke took his life, but he has soon realised what a figure his club and national team predecessor was.
"I never got to know Robert," he added. "I was playing in England when he took his life.
"It's a tragic story and all I can say is that I have felt at Hannover and here at the national team how much he was respected by his team-mates and fellow sportsmen.
"Therefore, I am sure a lot of people will be thinking about him today.
"A wreath will be laid on his grave on behalf of the national team, but tomorrow in Kiev we have got to concentrate on the sporting aspect."
Germany came through their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign with 10 wins from 10 games and they head to Ukraine looking to continue their excellent form while experimenting a little in view of next summer's finals.
Mario Gotze and Mesut Ozil will play together at the heart of the Germany midfield while Mario Gomez celebrates winning his 50th cap.
Low must also decide who will wear the captain's armband since captain Philipp Lahm is not in the squad and his usual understudies Bastian Schweinsteiger and Miroslav Klose are out injured.
Cologne forward Lukas Podolski, who has the most caps of the players available for selection ,is therefore likely to lead Germany onto the field in their new Euro 2012 strip which they will be wearing for the first time tomorrow.
The Olympic Stadium in the Ukrainian capital will be staging its first major game as it is officially opened seven months ahead of the Euro 2012 kick-off.
And the home team coach Oleg Blochin is hoping to baptise his nation's new home with a memorable victory.
"We will show off our best side and certainly not disappoint our fans," he is quoted as saying by Germany's dpa agency.
However, even if the dress rehearsal goes wrong, Blochin says the main event is still to come.
"We don't have to beat Germany now, but we have to beat them on July 1," he said, referring to the day when the Euro 2012 final takes place in the brand new arena.
A sell-out crowd of 70,000 spectators is due to witness tomorrow's match, although they will not get to see many of the home nation's stars either.
Andriy Voronin and Andriy Shevchenko are two of 10 regulars who have been left out of the squad as the home team also experiment ahead of next summer's finals.
