Ribéry: We Want To Win

After France’s 1-0 victory over Colombia dynamic midfielder Franck Ribéry told French television of the side’s desire to win the European Championships…

Once again one of the leading lights in a French team that is failing to wow their support Franck Ribéry proved the match winner against Colombia. The Bayern Munich winger calmly dispatched his penalty kick into the very corner of the net after 25 minutes of play.

Speaking after the game to French television station TF1 Ribéry noted that he had taken a slight knock to his ankle but said he would “look after himself and be ready for Romania.”

Central defender William Gallas has already spoken of the side’s desire to succeed in the tournament and Ribéry simply reiterated this point.

“I think that everyone knows our ambitions; we want to win the European Championship. There are many teams that also wish to win it. It will not be easy.”

France take on Romania next Monday in Zurich as they attempt to reclaim their European crown. With the Netherlands and Italy to follow the German League’s Player of the Year knows the importance of a strong start to the competition.

“It will be necessary to start this competition well against Romania, to take the three points against a good team. I feel good. There is a good squad and a nice atmosphere.”
