Franck Ribery cannot wait to get back on the pitch to play football. He hasn't played since October 27th after being sent of at the very end of the Fiorentina-Lazio match and his protests resulted in a three match disqualification. He spoke on this and his time in Florence.
"I should have avoided that reaction, I apologized but that's not enough. It's an infinite sadness. The instinct, the tension of the match took over. Bad, very bad."
"We know that we aren't a top team, but we must always leave the pitch happy for the victory but also angry for a defeat. It's the message that I pass to the young players."
"Florence is an ideal place to play football, the city and people live for the team. It's like in Marseille, where I spent two years. There's a strong attachment. Rocco Commisso, Joe Barone and Daniele Pradè have a lot of enthusiasm. The people trust them. With Montella I find myself well, he gave me a lot of responsibility, the formation change brought balance to the team."
"I see Chiesa more as an outside midfielder that attacks. He has great talents, he only needs to think about playing, working and growing. He's a little bit closed, but knows how to listen."
