<p>The title of World Cup all-time top scorer is driving Germany forward Miroslav Klose to get fit for the tournament in Brazil next month after an injury-plagued season, the 35-year-old said on Friday.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Klose, preparing for his fourth World Cup, has scored 14 goals in his previous tournaments and is joint second with fellow German Gerd Mueller on the all-time scorers’ list behind Brazilian Ronaldo on 15.<br /><br />“Those who know me know that this is indeed an aim of mine,” Klose told a news conference at the squad's northern Italian training camp when asked whether the World Cup goal record was motivating him to get fit after back and thigh injuries.<br /><br />“With one goal I am joint top. I need two to be top,” said the Lazio forward. “I am on a good track. Fitness coaches here know me and know what I need. I expect to be 100 percent at the tournament.”<br /><br />Klose can also break Mueller’s 40-year-old Germany scoring record of 68 goals before the World Cup with one goal in friendlies against Cameroon and Armenia on June 1 and June 6 which would take his tally to 69.<br /></p>
