According to Gerd ‘Bomber’ Muller, Ronaldo is the best striker of the present generation and he has done a fantastic job for his country.


Ronaldo in Brazil’s match against Ghana, broke Muller’s record of maximum of number of World Cup goals.


Muller, who scored 14 goals for Germany from two World Cups in 1970 and 1974, said he knew Ronaldo was on course to achieve the feat.


"Although Ronaldo is now in his third World Cup, this is nevertheless still a great achievement on his part."



"Playing at such a high level over such a long period of time, always managing to be fit at the right moment, is unusual nowadays."


"In my opinion, he's the best, most

complete attacker there is at the moment," Muller told the official FIFA website.


The 60-year-old German, however, said Frenchman Just Fontaine who scored 13 goals in 1958 World Cup in Sweden was the all time best in the business.


"I've always said that I wasn't the record-holder. That honour, for me, goes to Just Fontaine, who scored 13 goals in one tournament. He's the best in my book."


Muller was also pleasantly surprised by the way the German team is playing.


"The defence has been amazing. In the pre-World Cup warm-up matches, that was the real cause for concern, but now the Mannschaft have gone three games without letting a goal in."


He was all praise for Germany's new generation of forwards. "I am happy with them. Miroslav Klose had a great season for Werder Bremen and has brought his good form into the World Cup."


"Lukas Podolski is also doing a job, and that means that Germans have two dangerous attackers."
