Marseille, France. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the end of the day's devil training, Frank Ribery dragged his tired body back home.

His wife, Vasiba, was preparing dinner, while he was sitting on the balcony outside, silently watching the sunset in the distance, but the whole person felt empty and unproductive.

He knew that he was not in a good state and his mentality was not right, but he never recovered.

This has been going on for a year now.

Since the World Cup in Germany, he has been drained of his whole body, as if all his strength has been exhausted in the World Cup, although after the World Cup, his status in the club and national team has been significantly improved, but he still can't get himself excited again.

He really wanted to get back the excitement he had when he played in the league and the World Cup, but he still couldn't.

He's in trouble!

Everyone, including the coach at Marseille, his senior team-mates in the national team, everyone he knew, was telling him that he had hit a bottleneck and that he needed to break through it, otherwise it would be difficult for him to improve.

A professional footballer's career is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Ribery was afraid, afraid that he would return to his old days of wandering.

But the more he was afraid, the deeper he fell into it.

It was like a whirlpool, and the more he struggled, the faster he sank.

He didn't know what to do.

Finally, he slowly closed his eyes, and the shocking scar on his face shone in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Who is the new Zidane?

This question has been bothering the French for a year.

Since the end of the World Cup in Germany in '06, Zidane has put an end to Materazzi's hopes of the French national team to reach the World Cup, and also ended his personal club and national team career.

After Zinedine Zidane's retirement, who will take his place and become the soul of the French national team?

Frank Ribery was once the favourite.

The 24-year-old scar-faced winger was originally not well-known and had a disorganized career, having spent time in the lower divisions of Boulogne, Ales and Brest before moving to Metz in Ligue 1 before moving to Galatasaray in Turkey a year later.

Turkey proved not to suit the French, so he returned to France and joined Marseille.

It was in his first season at Marseille that Ribery performed well in the league, winning the best newcomer award, winning a ticket to the World Cup for the national team, and he also showed amazing strength on the stage of the World Cup in Germany, winning full applause.

It can be said that almost everyone at the time concluded that he would be the undisputed central figure in France after Zidane.

But with the development of the 06-07 season, along with injuries, and the ups and downs of form, Ribery's performance in Ligue 1 was not as good as the outside world expected, but it was the left winger of the Lyon team Malouda who shined, not only pressed Ribery, but also won the player of the season.

The younger player in the same Marseille squad, Samir Nasri, has also shown surprising talent, and in the past season, the limelight has completely overwhelmed Ribery, becoming the only player in the Marseille squad to be named in the Team of the Season.

Not only at club, but also in the national team, Ribery's position has been challenged.

Originally Govu, the player who had been outstanding since the World Cup, but his characteristics were different from Zinedine Zidane's, and he was not a satisfactory striker, so Domenech did not expect much from him, instead promoting Marseille midfielder Nasri to the national team in March.

As a result, since March, Nasri has become the most eye-catching player in the national team with one assist and one goal in three international matches, especially in the group stage of the European Championship qualifiers on June 6, when he scored the decisive goal to help France beat Georgia 1-0, extending the team's excellent record since the World Cup.

The title of the new Zidane was also crowned on Nasri's head by the media and fans all over France after the game.

The 19-year-old prodigy began to win the attention of all the media fans in France and even in Europe, and became the target of countless big teams, and he became the most popular player in the French national team.

Franck Franck Ribery also scored a goal in this international fixture, but it was at home to Ukraine on June 2 that he opened the scoring, but in both games, Nasri completely overshadowed him.

What's more, Malouda, the best player in Ligue 1 last season, moved to giants Chelsea, and once he performs well in the Premier League, it is bound to shake Ribery's place in the national team, as both are left wingers.

It is precisely because of such concerns that Ribery has worked particularly hard in the pre-season training camp of the new season, but he has never been able to adjust his form to the level he is satisfied with.

Thankfully, there is still a long way to go before the pre-season and everyone is still patient with him.

But if he still fails to find his best form, let alone playing in the top league, I am afraid that even his position in Ligue 1 and the French national team will be shaken.

A cry from his wife, Vasiba, from the kitchen, woke up Ribery who had his eyes closed.

The Frenchman was startled, opened his eyes, looked around, but saw no movement.

"Phone, Frank. His wife's voice came again.

Ribery breathed a sigh of relief when his phone rang in the living room.

Lazily got up from the balcony chair, walked briskly back to the living room, grabbed his phone and looked at the screen, the caller ID showed an unfamiliar phone number.

Strange, who?

But Ribery pressed the answer anyway and put the phone next to his ear, "Hey, hello, who are you looking for?"

He spoke French, but there was a word of English on the other side of the phone.

"Hello, excuse me, is it Frank Ribery?" asked the stranger.

"Uh...... Who are you?" asked Ribery rhetorically, instead of answering.

The person on the other end of the phone smiled slightly, "I'm Gao Han." ”

"Gao Han?" Ribery didn't react for a while, and wanted to ask, who is Gao Han?

But in the next second, he was stunned, and shouted loudly: "Gao Han?"

The movement alarmed even his wife Vasiba in the kitchen.

"Oh my God, you...... You...... You are...... Cold?"

"Yes. The person on the phone replied lightly.

"Former Inter Milan manager, the one rumored to take over from Bayern Munich?" Ribery looked surprised.

Hearing his words, Gao Han on the phone seemed to hesitate, "In European football, there shouldn't be a second Gao Han, right?"

It's him! It's him!

Gao Han actually called me, oh my God!

Ribery almost felt the urge to go crazy, and he even wondered if he was dreaming.

I saw him twist his arm very hard, it hurt, it hurt, but he was laughing silently.

I wasn't dreaming, Gao Han actually called me!

"Hey, are you listening?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, I...... I'm so excited, Mr. Takahan, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. ”

"It's okay, I'm just worried that you'll hang up on me. Gao Han laughed.

"No, no, no, how could it be?" what professional player would want to hang up on you?" Ribery himself was flattered, "but...... But, Mr. Takahan, you called me ......"

"Yes, something. ”

"Okay, you say, you say. Ribery was excited.

Gao Han called him at this time, what could he do?

Not to mention that he was originally a smart guy, even if he lacked a string in his brain, he should have thought of it at this time.

'As you said, I'm really going to take over Bayern Munich, but I need a very good winger and I think you're a good fit because you have what it takes to be the best top left winger, but I wonder if you'd like to come to Bayern Munich?

The more Ribery listened, the wider his mouth opened, and at last he was almost ready to stuff his entire fist.

Yes, that's right, Gao Han called him just to invite him to play.

"Yes, I do, Mr. Gao Han, I do. Ribery had the urge to repeat it a hundred, if not a thousand, times, even at his wedding to his wife, Vasiba.

Oh my God, playing for the cold, that's a good thing that all professional players dream of, and it's my turn!

'Well, I'm calling you today just to ask for your opinion, and then I'll have the club talk to Marseille and I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Sebena training base in the new season. ”

"Thank you, and so am I, Mr. Takahan. Ribery said excitedly, "But...... Is there anything I need to do?"

Generally speaking, the big team poachs the opponent's leading star, and often needs the players to cooperate and exert pressure.

"No, Frank, you just have to be patient, and train hard. ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Takahan, I promise. ”

"Okay, goodbye. ”

"Goodbye, Mr. Kohan. ”

After Ribery hung up the phone, the whole person directly clenched his fists, jumped up from the ground, cheered, rushed over like a sharp arrow, picked up his wife Vasiba, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, and kissed him fiercely with his big mouth.

He was so excited, so excited!

"What's going on, what the hell is going on?" Vasiba was so tossed that she almost couldn't breathe.

"Alpine, Alpine, Vasiba, the number one gold medal coach in football today, has produced Kaka, Torres, Villa, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Deco, Ibrahimovic, Adriano, Yaya Toure ......"

"Oh my God, all the players who played under him have become some of the best superstars in the world. ”

Vasiba was also stunned when he heard Ribery's words.

"He actually called me and asked me to play for him, and you said, Vasiba, can I refuse?

Ribery: He was so excited.

Suddenly, he felt that his goal, which he had lost, had become clear again.

He aspires to play under Alpine and make great progress, like Kaka, like Messi, like Cristiano Ronaldo, like Ronaldinho and others, to become one of the top superstars in the world, and even become the first French player to win the World Footballer of the Year after Zinedine Zidane.

Suddenly, his goal was clear, and the fighting spirit he had lost was back.

He felt as if he was full of strength, full of longing, full of strong fighting spirit.

It's incredible!

But it happened to him so really.

And this also made him more determined that he must go to Bayern Munich and play for Alpine!
