Ribery has big dreams

By: Angela | March 12th, 2008

Bayern's Franck RiberyBayern Munich’s Franck Ribery has big dreams. Does he want to win titles? Of course. Does he dream of taking a championship? Of course. Does he want to return to a French club? Not exactly. In fact, the Frenchman said he doesn’t see himself returning to a French Club.

“I can’t see myself playing for a French club again, even for (six-times champions and Ligue 1 leaders Olympique) Lyon,” he said. “Here (at Bayern), everything is so well organised. You just can’t compare.”

Does he dream of winning the Ballon d’Or? Sure, doesn’t every player? Yet, that’s not his big dream. So what it is it that the young 24 year old dreams of doing? Well, you may have guessed by now, he wants to be Zinedine Zidane. Yep, that’s right. Ribery hopes to emulate one of the sport’s all time greats and accomplish, and perhaps surpass the great Zidane.

“I’ll do everything I can for that,” the attacking midfielder told French sports daily L’Equipe when asked whether he believed he could eventually match retired France playmaker Zidane, one of the sport’s all-time greats.

“Up to now I’m satisfied with myself,” Ribery said in an interview published on Tuesday. “I’m still a long way from Zidane but I have many years ahead of me.”

Good luck to you Franck. May your dreams come true.

    Ribery is a gr8 player but he is still very very far from Zinedine Zidane…..i wish he will stay forever with Bayern because he will be like an icon to this team…….he has to be patient and not leave to Real, Barca or Milan becuase Bayern will be back to the CL next season and soon they will win it hopefully……good luck Franck and Goooooo Bayeeeeern

    Bayern has already said he is not for sale. They’d be pretty stupid to let him go. I don’t look for them to let him leave anytime soon. And I think, from things he’s said here and there, he’s pretty content to stay with Bayern for now.
