Who is not well-known with this person, he was one of the best Germany attackers. With the nickname Kinsi, He is a Germany hero (at that time still called West Germany) in the 1990 World Cup. To remind the soccer lovers, in the final 1990 World Cup, Germany meet Argentine team which led by the "god" of Argentina, Diego Maradona. German in the final match won against Argentine by a score of 1-0 as a results of penalty scored by Andreas Brehme. But why do I write Klinsmann as a hero? And why the title of this record use quote in the word hero? That's what I will explain.
Although Klinsman not scored the goal but it was he who created the penalty. Striker who was born July 30, 1964 was violated by the Argentina defender, Pedro Monzón, in penalty box when the game is less than 10 minutes. From the replay showed that the foot touched the ball so Monzón's really done a clean tackle. But with Klinsmann's cleverness play - pretending fell down and rolled - he rolled up to 3 times while holding his face. When we see the video, really Monzón's hands did not touch his face. Klinsmann's diving is very popular with the name Treble Roll. Until now Treble Roll still practiced by many players. For examples footballer like Inzaghi brothers, Francesco Totti, to C. Ronaldo.
His Achievements really not because his legendary diving, but because he had a very good quality. He was the first footballer who can scored goals in three successive European trophy - 1988, 1992, 1996. Achievement that could only equaled by Vladimir Šmicer, Thierry Henry, and Nuno Gomes. And Klinsmann was the first man who can scored at least 3 goals in 3 different World Cup. Fantasize that his achievement in the world cup only could be equated by Ronaldo. But the achievement was still unable to take off his "sin" in the 1990 world cup which made him given the nickname as"the father of diving". Like Argentina who have Maradona with his goal " the hand of god", England by Geoff Hurst which his controversial goal, or Italy with Materazzi who had "beat" Zidane, but Klinsmann is still a Klinsman a Germany hero in the 1990 World Cup. He can not be denied as a man who have a big hand in Germany football history and even the world, though because of his diving.
