BERLIN Wholesale Adidas Shoes Outlet , April 7 (Xinhua) -- Following is an interview on French star winger Franck Ribery of FC Bayern Munich:
By Oliver Trust
Xinhua: Mr. Ribery, what about calling you a genius?
Ribery (laughing): "Feel free to do that, I don't know anyone who doesn't mind hearing words like those."
And are you a genius?
Ribery: "I wouldn't call myself a genius. For me, geniuses are people who cure heart diseases or other serious illness. And many others that work hard to manage their daily lives."
Xinhua: Well, football fans, especially Bayern fans Wholesale Adidas Boost Online , feel you are a genius when watching you on the pitch.
Ribery: "That is something that makes me happy. Perhaps you could call me a special player but as for a genius, I really don't feel like one ... "
Xinhua: but ...
Ribery: "I like this quick man-on-man game, and I love to do special things when the situation gets tricky and you only see a small chance of honing in on goal or going down the flanks."
Xinhua: That sounds pretty much like a genius.
Ribery: "I don't have a special game plan to fall back on, meaning, if there are two in front of me, I do this Wholesale Adidas Shoes Mens , if it is only one, I do this. It's something that's inside me and I don't have a series of moves from let's say one to ten. A lot of things are intuitive. And it's something that's strongly connected to my emotions about football. I need to be emotional with football, and I like to have fun and see the people have fun."
Xinhua: But the genius Franck Ribery ...
Ribery (laughing): "Genius again? Ok, I give up..."
Xinhua: Ok, let us try again and say Bayern needs players like you and Arjen Robben to win the Champions League?
Ribery: "That might be right, but every team needs 11 players and more. And the world's best teams have Wholesale Adidas Shoes Womens , what you call, special players. Many opponents look at our line-up and say, we only have a chance to win when we have a strong defense. To get to the top as a team, you have to deal with that. And ok, to be able to do so, you need players with special skills."
Ribery: "Yes, and a good goalkeeper, and a good defense, and a creative midfield and players that can score goals and a coach, whose heart is full of passion and his head full of ideas about tactics and different systems that are useful for your game. But you could say, Arjen and I Wholesale Adidas Shoes China , we love risky situations maybe more than others, and we do everything to get through. And maybe there are not many like us in football."
Xinhua: But that means at the same time, you could fail and then you are the focus of criticism?
Ribery: "When you play like we do, you don't think about what comes afterwards. If you start to think about that then you've failed already. When we start to run with the ball at our feet, we want the best for our team, and ourselves."
Xinhua: Sometimes we see an aggressive Franck Ribery.
Ribery: "Well it's a part of my game too. Your opponents are not on the pitch to applaud you when you go by them Wholesale Adidas Shoes , they want to stop you. And there's another thing we have to mention."
Xinhua: Ok?
Ribery: "Players like Arjen and me come in for some touch treatment. Some are really going for us. After most games, I look like I've fallen off a rock, my body is full of scratches and bruises."
Xinhua: Meaning it's not always fun to be a special player?
Ribery (laughing): "No, but I won't change. Changing would mean, Franck Ribery is not Franck Ribery anymore."
Xinhua: At the moment Robben, Ribery and David Alaba are sidelined due to injury. It could be a problem as important games are on your club's schedule in the next weeks and months?
Ribery: "I hope Arjen and I will be back soon Cheap Adidas Shoes Outlet , and David get back as soon as possible. It is not an easy situation to be in but again it is something you learn to deal with when you're getting growing older, just take things as they are and still try to find the best solution. Bayern has a squad with high quality, and with Pep Guardiola in charge we have a coach that knows what to do. But, you are right, when things get tight in when things come to the crunch, I hope we can help to win the titles we are all aiming at. Without Arjen Robben and me our game is different Cheap Adidas Boost Online , it needs to
