Klose, 29, signed for Bayern for 12 million euros earlier this month after his former club Werder Bremen finally agreed to sell him after months of intense speculation.

Klose was set to make his competitive debut for Bayern in the League Cup quarterfinal against Bremen in Dusseldorf on Saturday afternoon.

And Loew says Munich's high-pressure environment will suit the top-scorer at last year's World Cup, which will boost Germany's chances of qualifiying for next summer's European Championships in Austria and Switzerland.

"Klose will benefit from his transfer to Bayern where high demands will be made of him," Loew, who succeeded Jurgen Klinsmann as Germany's head coach after last year's World Cup, told German on-line magazine Sports-Bild.

"He really wanted to make the switch, it was the right time. It would have been difficult for him to remain at Bremen if his head and heart were already with Bayern.

"I am glad that the issue has now been put to bed, now he can completely focus on his job at Bayern and concentrate on Germany's Euro 2008 campaign."

But Klose can expect no preferential treatment despite his 33 goals in 69 appearances for his country - including five goals at last year's World Cup.

"Who gets to play depends on who is in form and who has the necessary self-confidence," said Loew.

Loew added he is pleased to see several top young players like defender Marcell Jansen and striker January Schlaudraff move to a high-profile club like Bayern, while defender Christoph Metzelder will also benefit from his move to Real Madrid.

Germany are top of their qualifying group with a five point lead over nearest rivals the Czech Republic, but Loew is insisting on maximum points from their remaining five games.

There are only five Euro 2008 qualifying games left for Germany, but Wales (September 8), Ireland (October 13), the Czech Republic (October 17), Cyprus (November 17) and Wales again (November 21) will face strong German side.

"These games are important, we have not yet qualified and we will field our strongest sides in those games, there will be some friendly games when we may experiment," insisted Loew.
