At 37, Franck Ribéry had a great game and scored a superb goal Saturday night, without being able to prevent the defeat of Fiorentina on the lawn of Lazio (2-1). In Florence, the French conquered everyone.
It is a wink of fate. The day his former Bayern friend Arjen Robben is out of retirement to sign a new contract with Groningen, Franck Ribery remembered everyone fondly by having a world class match during the clash between Lazio and Fiorentina (2-1) Saturday evening.
An extraordinary goal
The Boulonnais almost played a nasty trick on the Lazio in the title race by tormenting the Biancocelesti at the Stadio Olimpico. He notably scored an extraordinary goal, to allow his team to lead 1-0. Coming out ofa double contact worthy of the great Ribéry era, “Francky” struck a powerful strike at the far post which left Strakosha without reaction (25th). Not bad for a 37 year old player who was fighting only his second game since November due to an ankle injury and health crisis.
Ribéry’s goal in video:
Ribéry scores 7.5 out of 10 from Gazzetta dello Sport, the best of the match (for both teams). He also received congratulations from his coach. “He is an exemplary boy, a great professional and a great player, explained Beppe Iachini. He scored this wonderful goal, but he should have served more and been better in the last 30 meters to score the second goal. These are sins of youth that should no longer be committed. “
“Ribéry is a champion”
Ribéry’s return to form should do good to a team from the Fiorentina which, after having started well in the wake of the Frenchman, remains stuck in the second part of the table (13th). In any case, in Florence, conquered everyone. His choice, at the time of his signature, was already admirable. Ribéry had opted for a historic club, in a great European championship, for love of football, of competition, and also for love of the city of Florence. Instead of offering a much more lucrative contract in an exotic destination.
Far from being in pre-retirement, Ribéry, by his safe behavior and off the field, shows himself worthy of the great player he was at Bayern. This is what Viola’s sporting director Daniele Pradè points out, happy to have bet on him: “Ribéry is a champion, in everything he does, from his attitude to training to what he shows on the field. “ Class.
