Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery has insisted that he can reach the level of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 in the next season. The Frenchman admitted that his last two seasons have been plagued with injuries and he now hopes
to regain full fitness before the next campaign starts.
The midfielder suffered an ankle injury in September last year in a Bundesliga clash against Hoffenheim and was out for more than two months. The player missed another two weeks of action in January when he was tackled by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Josue-c19586
of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881.
Ribery claimed that he is working hard on his fitness and is confident that he can be of great help to the club in the upcoming season. The midfielder added that he can reach the level of consistency with which Lionel Messi plays
if he reaches his full potential.
“If I can get fully fit again and am free in my own head, while having a good relationship with the coach, if this base is right then I can reach the level of Messi. This is for me without question,” the player was quoted as saying
in an interview.
The French international stated that he had a fantastic first two years at the Allianz Arena but the last two seasons have been plagued with injuries. He claimed that Messi has shown that he can play with the same level in every
season which is huge achievement for any player.
“In my first two years [at Bayern], the level I played at was really incredible. Messi has shown, however, that he can do it for three, four years in a row,” he continued.
Ribery was all praise for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 international claiming that the player is always calm and relaxed and has great ability to score goals consistently.
“I have worked with his team-mates; [Eric] Abidal has told me a lot about Messi's game. He told me that Messi's mentality is outstanding, he is always relaxed,” he concluded.
Bayern Munich will play Borussia Monchengladbach on Sunday, August 7, at the Allianz Arena.
