Bayern Munich veteran Miroslav Klose says the Germans rate Liverpool ace Steven Gerrard as England's biggest threat.
Klose says they're more wary of Gerrard today than Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.
Klose told the Daily Star Sunday: "I personally like Steven Gerrard as a player. In many ways I see him as more important than Wayne Rooney as he can create everything for England in the middle of the park."
Klose, 32, who won the Golden Boot at the 2006 World Cup, knows all about Rooney as he plays for Bayern Munich, who beat Manchester United over two legs in the Champions League semi-finals in March and April.
And he said: "I know a lot of hope is on Wayne Rooney for the England team but we won't give him any special attention. Yes he is a good player and we will mark him like we would any good player - but we won't be doubling-up on him or anything like that."
