BERLIN under armour curry 5 sale , March 24 (Xinhua) -- Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery has returned to action after 11 months of injury. In a recent interview with Xinhua, he talked about how he feels now and his future. Being on the bench for such a long time does not seem to have dampened his good spirits, quite on the contrary.
Ribery: (Laughing and jovial) Hey, hello under armour micro g shoes sale , here I'm. I can see it in your faces, you thought Franck wasn't coming and that he'd gone home instead.
Xinhua: Well, that's an unusual start for an interview. You're making fun and we're yet to ask a question.
Ribery: That's me, always there when nobody is expecting me.
Xinhua: You're in a good mood ... I think we know why.
Ribery: I'm all ears.
Xinhua: You're back in action after a long injury break. And Franck Ribery without football is not Frank Ribery.
Ribery: After 11 months out of the game under armour scorpio sale , I've had some games and playing time. It's the moments when you realize what you've been desperately missing. To play and train together with the team is another world compared to training on your own. You feel lonesome, I can tell you.
Xinhua: Many were surprised just how quick you returned to full action. Did we see Franck Ribery's fighting spirit?
Ribery: I'm happy about that. Eleven months is a long time. But to come back is something coming from my heart. I was sad not being a part of the squad. I did extra training to come back as fast as possible. I really missed something in my life.
Xinhua: Can you understand that some people thought you'd have more difficulties returning this time?
Ribery: Though I had doubts I was confident I'd get back. I knew it was going to be hard and a long road. But my mind was always confident and focused. Now that I'm back, I feel good and I'm in a good mood. Well, as I said under armour speedform gemini sale , that's me. Football is fun.
Xinhua: You had to go through several injuries during the last two years. You never considered saying, 'Hey guys it's enough now'?
Ribery: No way. I always remember where I came from. I know it's something special to play football on this level and have a job like the one I've. As long as my body says yes, I will play. When I was younger, I played in the third league www.uashoesforsale.com , I was on the street, I still have the hunger to play even after so many games and the success I've had so far.
Xinhua: You've learned to fight in your life?
Ribery: I tell you it's hard to sit on the bike or the stands while the others are training or playing. When the team is playing well and is winning the games, you are part of it, even sitting on the bench under armour sale clearance , but after an injury you feel lonesome.
Xinhua: Now the comedian Franck Ribery is back ...
Ribery: I'm a funny guy and I like to make fun, I think it's an important part of me. And my teammates benefit from it as well. It's important to stay in a good mood even when things get tight like they always do in the last weeks of a season.
Xinhua: Once you drove the team bus and crashed into a low wall or you hid behind the curtain and scared Bayern's doc, Dr. Braun ...
Ribery: ... (Laughing) ... did you see it. That was funny.
Xinhua: And the bus?
Ribery: Oh la la, I went to see Uli Hoeness right away and told him what happened and paid. But I had fun. Well that is me under armour shoes sale , I have to make fun.
Xinhua: You have a special relationship to David Alaba who is similar-minded when it comes to being a comedian. Do you feel you provide extra help to the younger ones in Bayern's squad?
Ribery: They know that I want them to make it. I want them to see what great chance they have to make it at Bayern and what a great opportunity this is for their lives. I know what it's like to be on the street. When I see how big their opportunity is, I kind of adopt them. I want to provide a positive atmosphere for them. I try to tell them that it's important to respect the situation. I mean being able to live a life as a football professional. As for David: I've known him since he was 16, he's like my little brother. I took him out to restaurants, we talked a lot about what is needed for his career. I'm like a person of respect for him.
Xinhua: Kinsley Coman said he wants to be the new Ribery soon? Can he?
Ribery: I hope he can and I'm optimistic he can. He's still young but he's a skillful player. We often talk about all this in French. It's great working together with such talented young players. They can learn a lot and it's great to talk to them and play with them. It's important for a team to have young players in the squad. And he's really good for his age.
Xinhua: Let us get back to the fighter Franck Ribery. How far are you right now on your way back under armour sale , 100 percent already?
Ribery: I'm near 100 percent. But of course it's important to have match practice that gives you the rest of what you need.

Ribery: I'm like everyone else, I want to play. But in every big club you have rivals. To have a big squad is necessary especially at our level. Just look at last year when we had so many injured players. It's hard to get to the very top when you don't have enough players. On top we meanwhile have so many games and a player can't play all of them on the same level. Especially at the end of a season, there are many tough games.
Xinhua: So you are happy about rivals for you and Arjen Robben?
Xinhua: Meaning you don't fear you'll lose you place?
Ribery: I'm never afraid. I've been through too many things in my life. I always made it. I'm confident. And I know you sometimes need a break, we are no machines. Every single player does his bit for the squ
