Timm Klose (born May 9, 1988 in Frankfurt am Main ) is a Swiss football player . He has played for Norwich City since January 2016 .

Club career

BSC Old Boys and FC Basel

Timm Klose is the son of a German and a Swiss woman and therefore also has German citizenship . He started playing football at BSC Old Boys Basel in July 1993 after his family moved to Basel , his mother's hometown. There he was noticed by FC Basel , who accepted him into their U-18s for one season, but sent him back to the Old Boys at the end of the 2003/04 season. There he was first used in the U-19. At the time (2006), the central defender had been considering giving up his football career before coach Massimo Ceccaroni gave him the opportunity to play for the Old Boys' first team. Once again, Klose drew the attention of talent scouts and in 2007 moved to FC Basel's U-21s for two years. But neither Christian Gross nor Thorsten Fink trusted the 193 cm giant to become a regular in the first team.

FC Thun

The long-time FCB defender and national player Murat Yakin , who took over as coach at FC Thun in 2009 , saw it differently . He used the contacts to his former parent club and brought Klose to the Bernese Oberland together with Marco Aratore and Nicolas Schindelholz . The defender signed a two-year contract until 2011 with Thun, who played in the second highest Swiss league at the time. In the 2009/10 season , Klose played 29 games and scored two goals. FC Thun won the Challenge League this season and was promoted to the Axpo Super League . Shortly thereafter, FC Thun extended the contract with Klose prematurely by two years until June 30, 2013.

The central defender remained part of the Thun back team in the 2010/11 season , which this season had the second strongest defense in the top Swiss league. Thun conceded fewer goals than the Swiss champions Basel in this first season after promotion. In the face-to-face encounter on November 13, 2010, Klose and his teammates achieved a 3-1 victory. Never before had a Thun team defeated Basel in St. Jakob-Park .

1. FC Nuremberg

Klose finally used a release clause in the contract with the Thuners, which ran until 2013, to sign a three-year contract in his country of birth with the then Bundesliga club 1. FC Nürnberg on May 26, 2011 . At the Franconians, Klose quickly became a top performer and played 45 league games in the 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons , in which he scored two goals.

VfL Wolfsburg

In July 2013, Klose moved to league rivals VfL Wolfsburg and signed a four-year contract. At VfL, he met two other Swiss players, Diego Benaglio and Ricardo Rodríguez , with whom he won the DFB Cup in the final against Borussia Dortmund on May 30, 2015.

Norwich City

On January 18, 2016, Klose moved to the Premier League for Norwich City . He received a contract valid until June 30, 2019 with the relegation-threatened club. With the team he was relegated to the second-rate EFL Championship . In the 2018/19 season he celebrated the second division championship with Norwich under coach Daniel Farke and returned to the Premier League.

National team career

On August 11, 2010, under coach Pierluigi Tami , Klose made his debut in the Swiss U-21 national team in a friendly against the Greek U-21s . As a result, he played another friendly game and was used in three U-21 European Championship qualifiers . The last preparation games for the European Championship finals in Denmark from June 7th to 26th, 2011 , played the Swiss U-21 national team in Saudi Arabia and Qatar during a training camp from March 21st to 30th, 2011. Klose and his teammates were both able Decide on test games for yourself.

At the European Championship finals in Denmark, Klose formed the central defense with Jonathan Rossini from the second game , flanked by the full-backs Philippe Koch and Gaetano Berardi , and was one of the guarantees that Switzerland made it to the final of a U-21 European Championship for the first time without conceding a goal and qualified for the 2012 Olympic Football Tournament in London. In the final they lost to the Spanish selection with 0: 2, Klose was again a top performer and had a great chance to equalize 1: 1 in the 78th minute. He made his debut for the Swiss national team on August 10, 2011 , when the defender came on for Philippe Senderos in the game against Liechtenstein .

Style of play

Klose's strengths are his speed of approach and his tactical instinct. Thanks to his size, he can also win most of the header duels and is otherwise very strong in duels.

Others

In the autumn of 2019, Klose announced in an interview that he had smoked pot and drank alcohol at the age of 13. It was not until he was 16 that he realized that these excesses would only do harm. His family and wife were especially important when leaving.
