I do not know how I could begin my letter in a better way. “I remember very well the moment of my substitution in my farewell game when I saw you sitting in the stands with my family. In the middle of those people who occupy a special place in my life – and you are also a part of those people. “With your positive charisma, your open style and last but not least thanks to your inimitable left foot, you have inspired not only me, but also the German, English and Turkish audience alike. So I'm not worried about the fact that you will soon turn the Japanese fans into Poldi fans, if you are moving to the Far East now. “Servus, Poldi, my friend. Bye for now! “Your Basti.” Podolski has netted 48 goals in his 129 appearances for Germany to date.The last of those came back in 2015, so he will be hoping to bow out on a goal-scoring high against old adversaries England.</blockquote>
