The Bavarian giant’s team-mates resolved their issues of the past and have joined hands to help Bayern Munich achieve some silverware.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 and Franck Ribery endured a widely publicised changing room brawl during half-time of their UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg tie against Real Madrid in April.
Bayern won that match 2-1 with goals apiece from Ribery and Mario Gomez, and the tie as well winning 3-1 on penalties before eventually losing in the final to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in a penalty shootout.
Die Roten side were believed to have punished the former French League winger with a fine of €50,000 (£39,000). The ex-Marseille creative midfielder and the Dutch international star were reported to have been dragged apart from
each other, in front of the FC Hollywood’s officials after an ugly clash.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 World Cup finalist in 2010 claimed that he and club compatriot have put their personal issues of the past aside in order to start afresh for the new campaign.
This will be great news for Die Roten as they prepare for the upcoming season with resolved conflicts, and it will boost their chances of success this term considering the trophy drought of last year along with losing out at three
different fronts.
The ex-Chelsea playmaker explained that the bust-up should not have happened and it was really sad. He further said that things such as that are hard to deal with and up until that moment he was on really good terms with Ribery
as a team member and socially when they used to hang out for fun.
"Something happened and it wasn't easy. I found it a pity what happened. Up until then our relationship had been really good on and off the pitch," Robben was quoted saying in an interview.
The footballer of the year in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 2010 claimed that things are back to normal as they were before the fall-out. The club is going in the forward direction as they both will aid the team after last campaign’s disappointments,
and the attacker is expecting to enjoy playing with Ribery again.
"Now everything is once again in order. We're going in the same direction once again and I hope to enjoy playing with him again," he finally concluded.
Robben and Ribery scored 19 and 16 goals respectively. The Frenchman also provided an amazing 26 assists.
