Robbery upset Ribery: I don't run after millions, run after the ball

“Franck loves Florence and never intended to leave” Sebastien Frey, former renowned Fiorentina porter, explains Ribery's situation for “Radio Toscana”, after speaking directly to the French champion this morning. I speak in his name, because we have this morning. He has been somewhat isolated and upset these days after the home robbery, but wants to explain that he never said he wanted to leave. Frank just said he'd make decisions to protect his family. A similar event occurred in Nicaea as my first reaction was: I'm going home, I'm leaving.

This is because we immediately think about our family. To be robbed of your home is no joke, so in grief, you first think of how to protect your loved ones. He told me to repeat that he loves Florence, respects Fiorentine and her project, at any moment has not considered leaving, especially at this difficult moment. Ribery wants to respect his contract. He knows my relationship with Fiorentina fans and the love people have here for me, so he commissioned me to deliver this message. I tell you to stay safe, not leave Fiorentina. Sometimes I meet you and I assure you there is great respect for the club, Commisso and fans”.

We remember that a few days ago, the Frenchman's house was robbed while he himself was playing the Grand A game in the Parma field. When he returned and found the house overthrown by “skifts”, which were stolen by valuables. Reference to the event, former Bayern Munich star wrote a status in French: When I returned from this victory against Parma, I faced this at home. At home in Italy, where I decided to move to and continue my career after many beautiful years in Munich. But here is what I found.

So my wife lost some bags and jewelry, but thank God is not essential. What shocks me is the feeling of being vulnerable to thieves, I don't accept that. How am I supposed to feel today after what happened? I don't run after millions, thank God I don't lose anything and I can still run after a ball, my passion. But passion or not, my family comes first and we will make the decisions needed for our well-being”.
