“It was nice to contribute to the win with a goal on my 125th cap. But I have no comment for Uli Hoeness’ criticism. Much has been written, but it’s best for me to keep my mouth shut and concentrate on football.”
- Miroslav Klose (via mirosuperb11)

Very early in Napoli’s match against Lazio at the San Paolo, Miroslav Klose scored off a corner kick to put Lazio up 1-0. While the Lazio players began to celebrate, Napoli protested the goal, saying that Klose scored with his hand, which he did. Klose then admitted his offense to the referee, who disallowed the goal, and the Napoli players showed their appreciation for Klose honesty by patting him on the back.

The fair play spirit: He confessed to the referee that it was an unintentional hand ball…

He did the same when he was playing for Werder Bremen, I wish more players were like him
  • Klose scored with his hand in the match against Napoli, and the ref allowed it; however he admitted hand ball and the goal was disallowed. Classiest part? Lazio were losing.
