Germany cruised to a comfortable 6-1 win against Azerbaijan on Tuesday evening and Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski were two of the Nationalelf's key performers. Klose was full of praise for the Koeln star after the match and added that it was an easy game for himself.
"Everyone knows how good a player Podolski is. I am convinced that he always wants to perform. He is not influenced by others but simply goes out and does his thing. That is one of his strengths," said Klose to uefa.com.
"For me, the game against Azerbaijan was pretty easy. The ball fell to my feet twice and I just had to tap it in. If the team works like they did on Tuesday and create chances, then it is easy for a striker."
Germany have now collected six points from their first two games, but things will be much tougher in Berlin on October 8, when Germany welcome Turkey, who also won twice this week.
"It was our plan to get six points from the two games. It will be a different matter against Turkey, but we have qualities in our team with which we can hurt them."
