A year after joining the club he made it into the first team and in his first 62 matches scored 25 times. The frequency of his goals earned him his first international cap and he made his debut against Albania on March 24, 2001. Germany won the match 2-1, with Klose scoring the winning goal.
In the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea-Japan, he scored five goals for the German national team, finishing as one of the top scorers of the tournament. This tally included a hat trick in Germany's 8-0 win over Saudi Arabia.
The 2002-2003 season was a comparatively disappointing one as Klose found the back of the net a mere 7 times.
He transferred to Werder Bremen in 2004 for a sum of €5 million. After a sluggish start he formed an impressive partnership with Ivan Klasnić and scored 15 times in the Bundesliga.
Despite his relatively slender frame, Klose is one of the best headers in the Bundesliga. Moreover, he combines a natural killer instinct inside the box with excellent technical ability, and is equally lethal with the ball at his feet. By 2005, the introverted Klose had established himself as one of Germany's top strikers, if not the best. In the 2005/06 season he scored 25 goals and registered 16 assists in just 26 games in the Bundesliga.
Klose was named to his second successive World Cup team for the 2006 edition. In the opening match against Costa Rica, conciding with his 28th birthday, Klose scored two goals for Germany, in the 17th and 61st minutes. This led to Germany's 4-2 win over Costa Rica. His two goals against Ecuador on June 20 put him on top of the tournament top scorer list with four goals. He also played a major part in Germany's 2-0 win over Sweden in the first knockout round, setting up strike partner Lukas Podolski for both goals. Klose scored the equaliser against Argentina in the quarterfinal game played on June 30, 2006, setting the team up to win 4-2 on penalties. Klose has scored 10 world cup goals so far at the age of 28.
