SANTO ANDRE Brazil (Reuters) - Germany striker Miroslav Klose described Ronaldo as "the most complete player ever" on Thursday after overtaking the former Brazil forward as the World Cup's all-time record scorer with his 16th goal in the semi-final victory over the hosts.

"He was an outstanding soccer player," Klose, now a striker for Lazio after earlier stints with Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich, told reporters at the Germany base camp in Northeastern Brazil.
