Klose a goal annulled in an exercise of honesty

Last update 29 March, 2024 by Alberto Llopis

Can you imagine a goal to cancel a goal that you know is illegal? In modern football there are few players left who are honest with respect to the rules of the game. Without a doubt one of them is the German forward Miroslav Klose. In addition to being one of the best forwards in the world, he is one of the most honest people there has ever been on a football field..

Klose disallows a goal himself

Last round of Serie A showed what it is to be a gentleman. His team Lazio faced Napoli and after scoring a goal by taking advantage of a corner kick he showed the world what he is capable of. Pretending that it had been with the head in the beginning, the referee was deceived. However, in the face of rival protests, the German decided to admit the truth and cancel the goal.

It's not the first time that Klose has done this. in the season 2004-05, during a match played with Werder Bremen before him Arminia Bielefeld and with a zero tie result, Klose slipped inside the Arminia area. The referee signaled a penalty but Klose, instead of heading to the eleven meter point, got up, went to talk to the collegiate and told him that he had not been. Yet, the referee pointed it out the same and then decided to throw the ball out. . Four months later he was granted the Fair Play award of the German Federation. Klose, a Sir.

A curiosity, his particular celebration when he scores goals (when showing the hand with three raised fingers) it is due to personal reasons, that at first I did not want to say but that thanks to the insistence of the press I revealed: He raises 3 fingers to dedicate his goals to his family ( of 3 members), his wife and 2 children. Definitely, one of the few footballers who have not succumbed to modern football. and one of the top scorers in World Cup history.
