Miroslav Klose has revealed that misfiring Italy hitman Luca Toni has texted him about his relationship problems - with the ball.

Klose said: “Luca sent me a text message after our victory over Portugal.

“He told me he has been having problems with his best friend. I asked who it was and he answered ‘the ball.’

“His best friend is not doing what he asks it to.”
