GENEVA, May 28 (Xinhua) -- Germany's coach Jurgen Klinsmann urged caution
on Sunday after his soccer squad routed Luxembourg 7-0 in a World Cup warm-up on
Saturday.
"We've still got a lot of work in front of us and we have to prepare
ourselves to face opposition of a totally different quality to Luxembourg,"
Klinsmann told a press conference here Sunday.
"If we want to compete in the seven matches leading up to the world title
there's still a great deal to do; Saturday's game was a good little match, but
it was only a stage along the way."
Klinsmann was pleased with the way Klose and Podolski teamed upso
effectively - with the pair revealing afterwards that they comunicated in Polish
during the game.
"Both of them are making progress each time they play together: Lukas likes
to have a player who tells him what to do and Mirsolavis such a player.
"I'm certain that it'll get better and better between them," hesaid.
Podolksi, speaking about his good rapport with Klose, said: "The important
thing is not that we talk in Polish but that we complement each other."
The hosts open their World Cup campaign against Costa Rica on June 9.
