an L1 player weighs in on Ribéry’s popularity in Germany

Franck Ribéry is a legend at Bayern Munich, the club where he played for twelve years (2007-2019) and with whom he scored 124 goals in 425 appearances. Close to winning the Ballon d'Or in 2013, the former French international enjoys exceptional ratings in Germany, having often complained of a lack of consideration in France. Questioned by Zack Nani, Thilo Kehrer did not fail to make big revelations about the popularity of the native of Boulogne-sur-Mer across the Rhine.

Kehrer impressed by Ribéry!

For the German from AS Monaco, “Kaiser Franck” revolutionized the Bundesliga: “Extraordinary, really… Dribbling, technical finesse, efficiency with his goals and assists… He unlocked situations with his quality on the ball. The Bundesliga remembers Ribéry in Germany, he is loved everywhere, especially in Munich, he stayed for more than 10 years, and he performed year after year. He did things that we had never seen in the Bundesliga,” he said. As a reminder, after Bayern, Ribéry had two experiences in Italy at Fiorentina and Salernitana, where he retired in 2022 before being assistant coach for two years (2022-2024).
