NEWCOMER RIBERY READY TO TAKE OVER FROM ZIDANE 2 HAMELIN, GERMANY

0 FRIENDLY WIN OVER MEXICO LAST MONTH ON THE DAY ZIDANE WON HIS 100TH CAP AND PLAYED HIS LAST GAME AT THE STADE DE FRANCE, WHERE HE SCORED TWICE IN A 3-0 WIN OVER BRAZIL IN THE 1998 WORLD CUP FINAL.
SINCE THEN, RIBERY HAS WON TWO MORE CAPS WITH SPARKLING PERFORMANCES AS A SUBSTITUTE IN WARM-UP GAMES AND ANOTHER FOUR AT THE FINALS.
ON TUESDAY HE WAS A CONSTANT NUISANCE FOR SPAIN'S DEFENCE WITH HIS DARTING RUNS AND CROWNED AN IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY WITH HIS FIRST GOAL FOR FRANCE, WHEN HE MADE IT 1-1 JUST BEFORE HALFTIME.
WITH JUST SEVEN CAPS TO HIS NAME COMPARED WITH ZIDANE'S 105, RIBERY HAS EVERYTHING TO PROVE BUT ZIZOU ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ENERGETIC OLYMPIQUE MARSEILLE PLAYER IS SPECIAL.
"HE BRINGS A LOT TO THE TEAM WITH HIS FRESH ATTITUDE ON AN OFF THE PITCH," ZIDANE SAID OF RIBERY EARLIER IN THE TOURNAMENT.
"HE'S NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING AND HE'S REALLY GOOD. I'M SURE HE WILL BECOME SOMEBODY IMPORTANT IN FOOTBALL."
