Josep Guardiola wants Munich's "Bayern" forward Franck Ribery to regain his form from last season.
Lately, the Frenchman has not been shining in the ranks of the Bavarians, and in the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Madrid's "Real" he was almost unnoticed.
However, last weekend the 31-year-old footballer scored a goal against Bremen's "Werder" and played excellently. According to J. Guardiola, "Bayern" club needs the old F. Ribery.
"Franck Ribery is very important and necessary for us," the coach said at a press conference. "He has been at Bayern longer than I have and I am happy that Ribery is dedicated to this team.
"Sometimes he needs to show more of his aggression. I hope that tomorrow against "Real" Franck will show it. He has a strong desire to fight, that's why people love him," Guardiola added.
On Tuesday, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final will be played at the "Allianz" stadium. In Madrid, the Spanish vice-champions triumphed with a 1-0 result in the first leg.
