Novakovic has become prolific in recent seasons. In 2005-06, he was the top scorer in the Bulgarian top-flight with Litex Lovech and, after securing a move to Cologne in 2006, he topped the goal-scoring charts in 2. Bundesliga in 2007-08 as the side secured promotion.
He continued his impressive form with 16 Bundesliga goals for the club as they finished a respectable 12th that season and many believe that his ability in attack was the main reason they avoided a relegation battle. Novakovic also scored a vital brace in the 2-1 World Cup qualifying victory over Slovakia that season on his way to topping the country's scoring charts for the campaign with five goals. He continues to attract interest from successful clubs, particularly in Eastern Europe, but appears to be settled in Germany.
Novakovic has an adhesive touch on the ball, offers attacking mobility and shows maximum awareness even in the most pressing situation. He is a well-travelled frontrunner and averages a goal every third game for his country. Slovenia coach Matjaz Kek says: "We have to make the most of our resources and I have great faith in Milivoje making the most of his chance in this World Cup. He has earned the right to be here."
Strengths: He seems to have the knack for being in the right place at the right time to get goals. He's also 6ft 3in tall and has the ability to hold the ball up, rarely giving away possession.
Style: Strong, tall, alert and confident.

@bwfc1877coywm : There is absolutely no chance that Novakovic super novagaol will leave a Koln . Last year he get a offer from the some Spanish club and he didnt go . And 3 days before he said in his interview said that he will representative retired if Slovenia dosnt get to EURO 2012 , but he will stay in the Koln .
He score for Koln this season 17 goals he is a 3rd best scorer in bundesliga ( he didnt shoot any penalty shoot )
