His abilities are exceptional", said Schulz, and German national coach Joachim Löw describes Ribery as "a highly intelligent footballer."

Re: Ribery voted a top 2 finish lol. They should cruise Budesliga this season with a team like that. Also did you know Ribery's face is like that due to a Horrific car crash when he was younger. Apparently his mum died in that crash aswell
Re: Ribery voted I was going to ask about that. And during his last game they were showing him praying on the pitch, and I believe they said he converted to islam when he was younger? is that true?
