Pele: Don't worry about Klose

Pele says Brazil shouldn't fear Miroslav Klose in the World Cup final, because the German striker is not in the same league as Ronaldo and Rivaldo.

Pele admitted Brazil had to respect Klose because of his five goals.

But he said the German did not have the same "soccer intelligence" as the Brazilian stars.

"Michael Ballack (who is suspended) is a big loss, no doubt," Pele said. "He's a player who organises the midfield and who comes forward and is good in the air.

"I think you must respect (Klose) but not worry about him. It's better to concentrate on the player who gives him the ball."
