When Klose was first linked with a move to Bayern Munich in April, his form dipped alarmingly.

At the end of the season, Frings said Klose should make the move because he was no longer wanted at Bremen.

The pair settled their differences after being selected in the Germany team which beat San Marino and Slovakia last month, but now Klose has finally switched to Bayern, Frings has once again spoken out against him.

"Miro said he wanted to move to one of the best five clubs in Europe, and now he has ended up in Munich," he said.

"But it was the right step because if he had stayed, there would have been problems.

"He would not have concentrated on Werder any more and you cannot keep it a secret for too long that you cannot be bothered anymore."

Frings is looking forward to seeing Klose at the Weser Stadium again on August 18, although this time, they will both be heading into rival dressing rooms as Bremen face Bayern in the second match of the new season.

"Our fans will whistle him," predicted Frings. "He has done too much wrong in Bremen."

And now Klose has moved on, Frings is expecting a friendlier atmosphere in the dressing room.

He said: "We were playing against each other, but that is now over.

"We were too influenced by external disturbances, but that will not happen again. We have got to protect ourselves together."
