adminBayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola is counting on Franck Ribery’s anger to power them past Real Madrid in their Champions League semifinal second leg tonight despite the winger’s recent slump in form. Ribery had a sparkling season until Bayern clinched the Bundesliga title. The team has since looked like a pale shadow of its former scintillating self that broke record after record en route to the league title with Ribery having lost his spark down the left wing as Bayern notched just two wins in their last five league games.
“Franck Ribery is extremely important for this club, for the team,” Guardiola told reporters yesterday ahead of the second leg following their 1-0 defeat in Madrid last week.
“He was playing angry against Bremen (in Bayern’s 5-2 win on Saturday). Franck needs this aggression, he needs to play angry. — Supersport
