Participants speaking at the press conference included FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter, Brazil Minister of Sport Aldo Rebelo, LOC President Jose Maria Marin, Brazil Deputy Sports Minister Luis Fernandes, LOC Board of Administration member Ronaldo, LOC CEO Ricardo Trade and FIFA Secretary General Jér? me Valcke. Miroslav Klose, finally a FIFA World Cup? winner at the fourth time of asking, will decide over the coming days whether he wants to continue playing for Germany. Twelve years after tasting defeat in the final in Yokohama, Klose took home his first World Cup winner's medal on Sunday night after Germany beat Argentina 1-0 after extra-time.
Klose earned a standing ovation in the 88th minute when he made way for Germany's match-winner Mario Gotze. Having become the leading World Cup scorer of all time in Brazil, now seems a poignant time for the 36-year-old to call it a day, but he may yet carry on. "I do not know yet if I will go on with the national team, " said the striker, who scored his 16th World Cup goal in the 7-1 win over Brazil. "I'll take a couple of nights to sleep on it and then make the right decision. "The celebrations for Klose and his team-mates began straight after the final whistle and an hour later some of the players formed a merry conga as they filed past the media and out of the stadium with beer in hand. On Tuesday, a huge party will be thrown in Berlin when the squad lands on home soil.
Lazio striker Klose made his World Cup bow in Japan and Korea in 2002, where he reached the final before losing 2-0 to Brazil. Four years later he won the Golden Boot but Germany only made the semi-finals on home soil, losing to Italy thanks to two very late extra-time goals. Four years ago Klose took home a second third-place honour but he can now add a medal he really savours to his collection. "This is outstanding, it crowns everything, " he said. "We finished second once, were third twice, but this is world-class. I can hardly comprehend it.
