Klinsmann on BBC

“Özil is just a fantastic talent. He’s just a joy to watch, very creative. He needs to be confident. He needs to feel part of the whole group and that is what he’s doing.”

“Klose is an amazing story. He’s just now going from record maker to record maker. I’m really proud of him. “

“Lahm is very mature and knows how to come inside, cut inside and even score goals.” 

“Gomez has the quality to become one of the top stories in the world, and his career is just starting now. The future is Mario Gomez.

“We are just so privileged and so fortunate to have such a young keeper. Neuer is just such an amazing present. I mean if he keeps his feet on the ground, he might be born for the next ten to twelve years of Germany.”
