Bremen -- who play Espanyol in the last four -- were irresistible against Alkmaar, who briefly held them at 1-1, as Klose rediscovered his scoring touch in style and had coach Thomas Schaaf saying `crisis, what crisis?' about his star striker, who is being chased by several clubs including Juventus.
"Miroslav always trained hard and never lost confidence," said Schaaf. "His situation was never as catastrophic as people said. He knew he had not lost his goalscoring talents and today his work paid off."
