Franck Ribéry

The guy was majestic this year, not only he made some extraordinary games, but he also looked to be the missing link for Bayern 2012, final losers + Bundesliga 2nd and Cup Runners up.

Now I know not to take your opinions seriously.

How many Bayern games have you seen last year besides Barca H&A + the inevitably the Final in London?

 

[Hamzah]

I'd give an answer but it seems you're banned the day you came back

Ribery was really good based on what I saw

Im talking about his idea that Javi Martinez should win the balon d'or.

What an obnoxious liar. More assists? Only according to the one and only Ribery, the king of the world!

The France international thinks that he contributes more from a defensive perspective to Bayern Munich than the Spanish-based stars do for their respective sides

Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery argues that he works harder on the pitch than his main rivals for the Ballon d'Or, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.


The France international played a key role in FCB's historic treble win in 2012-13 and has been an impressive form in the opening months of the new season, making him one of the favourites to dethrone the Barcelona star from his reign over the award.

"Compared to them, I work much harder. I do a lot more defending than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and provide more assists," Ribery told Kicker.

"It would be fantastic to actually win the Fifa Ballon d'Or when you have a shot at winning it.

"I have even more confidence in myself than before and that shows on the pitch. I am on top of my game and score a lot of goals. I am really enjoying myself on the pitch."

Messi has won the Ballon d'Or three times in a row since the award merged with the Fifa World Player of the Year prize in 2010.

I don't dislike the guy or anything but class is something he doesn't have.

He should just keep his mouth shut. He won't win the ballon d ´Or. Nor should he. I don't even think he's the third best player.

 

[DonAK]

Yep. Cristiano with so many goals is not a hard worker and neither is Messi the guy with most goals and 2nd most assists after Mesut Ozil.

 

[BarcaGirl]

This guy is so desperate, that he might end up crying in the audience, if he doesn't win it.

 

[Truthist]

He does work insanely hard though, I'll give him that. He leaves everything on the pitch.

However, Messi is in a class of his own and Ronaldo is a machine.

He might work hard... But he's become insane! He's literally begging for the award!! Have some respect for your teammates you prick

Watch it go to Robben

Watch it go to Robben

I'd stop watching football

To be fair, Ribery wasn't really that great in the CL, and the only reason why he'd even be considered was the fact that Bayern won it. I know it may sound like a joke but Robben was superior to him in the CL.

I agree. Robben was much better than him in the CL.
