F

rank Ribery confirmed that he has reconciled with Munich's head coach Louis van Gaal.

The specialist from the Netherlands publicly criticized the Frenchman, saying that he was not making an effort in friendly matches designed to regain his fitness after a serious injury.

Ribery responded by questioning the coach's decision to bring problems into the public eye, but now it seems that their relationship has improved.

"Before the Champions League match in Rome, we talked for a long time and it is very important," said Ribery. "You have to talk if you want to be successful. It doesn't matter whether the conversation is positive or negative."

He added: "I feel like I am regaining my physical form and I am in good shape both physically and mentally. The most important thing is to regain confidence in my abilities.
