Ribery wants to see out playing career at Bayern
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 01 - 11 - 2011

French international Franck Ribery wants to see out his playing career at Bayern Munich, he told the German media Monday.
“It's perfect for me here,” he said in an interview with daily Bild.
“If my body allows it I want to be playing at Bayern when I'm 35,” added the 28-year-old who joined Bayern in 2007 on a four year deal which he extended last year until 2015. Ribery scored his fifth goal of the season Saturday in Bayern's 4-0 win against Nuremberg.
“This is my best period at Bayern. It's super, I'm taking great pleasure in contrast to my first two seasons,” he told another paper, Munchner TZ, underlining his good relationship with manager Jupp Heynckes - in contrast to the fractious rapport he had with former coach Louis van Gaal.
Ribery has high hopes for this season, saying: “We should win the national championship and also the German Cup. As for the Champions League, I hope we can achieve that dream too.”
Bayern is sitting pretty in the Bundesliga weith a four-point lead over Schalke 04 after 11 games and are top of Group A in the Champions League ahead of Napoli's visit Wednesday.
Anzhi scotches Eto'o rumors
Anzhi Makhachkala has scotched rumors that star Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o could be loaned out to French side Paris St. Germain during the Russian Premier League's winter break. On Monday it appeared Eto'o may be in favor of such a move. A website reported Eto'o as telling French television channel Canal+: “If the opportunity arises, we will see.”
However, Anzhi press spokesman Alexander Udaltsov said Eto'o has since categorically denied telling French media he would consider the opportunity to turn out for PSG. “When we contacted him Eto'o said these rumors are completely false,” Udaltsov said. “He didn't say anything about this move. He will confirm it later on the Anzhi official site.”
It is not the first time Eto'o, who joined Anzhi on a multi-million euro move in August, has been linked with a loan move away from the club — which is based in Dagestan, one of Russia's most impoverished and violent regions. Earlier this month La Gazzetta dello Sport claimed Eto'o had approached former club Inter Milan about a possible loan move back to the nerazzurri during the Russian winter break, which lasts from November to March.
