On behalf of the family

What is a high or a very high penalty is always a matter of perspective, which also applies to FC Bayern. As Sven Scheuer and Mario Basler were suspended in the autumn of 1999, after a fight in a Pizzeria, for both the time on the big stage.

As Philipp Lahm after a critically-constructive Interview ten years later, a fine had to pay, as it has "FC Bayern so far, not given" (club boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge), this sum - Reportedly 50 000 euros - probably the best invested money of the later young entrepreneur of Lame; he was several times German champion, Champions League winner and sometime even the darling of the coach guru Pep Guardiola. A similar sensitive to punishment, had not imposed the FC Bayern after almost ten years. Up to this weekend.

On Sunday came to the training facility in Doha Hasan Salihamidzic to the journalists, he said: "I have informed him that he will get a high money penalty." On the demand side, how high this will be, answered the sports Director: "We at FC Bayern have never talked about these Numbers. But the will be very high." It is now a question of perspective, whether Franck Ribéry has received a high or very high penalty, or whether he is not away, maybe even very good with a fine. The only certainty is that the gold steak affair to the wing player a new Dimension.

ribéry's Golden calf

Shortly before the team's training camp in Qatar Ribéry had made a stop in the middle of Dubai and the Restaurant Nusr-Et visits, in which the operator Gökçe not the Nusret is served with a gold leaf coated Tomahawk Steak, but also to this invited, as Salihamidzic said on Sunday. Subsequently, a debate which was characterised by a lack of understanding, ridicule, malice launched, especially in the social networks, and in the Ribéry according to Salihamidzic "in the worst way and offended," insulted had been, and not only he himself, but also his pregnant wife, Wahiba, as well as his mother, who had just been operated on. It was a debate that Ribery was obviously not prepared. This suggests, at least, his wild and impulsive reaction.

On his profiles in the social networks posted Ribéry on Saturday, an implacable message to his critics, he also scolded desolate, with vulgar choice of words. Were directed to fulfil his insults to the "envy and Hatred", which he himself, in turn, a lot of hatred was hurled at, quotable closest to the statement that all those who had not believed in him, "not more than pebbles in my shoes".

FC Bayern were you trying at the weekend, this escalation in all its facets. Salihamidzic said that Ribery had "fought back" and "the family defended", "he has every right, because I support the players". On this very sympathetic introduction to the criticism followed: "Unfortunately, he is derailed in a point total."

Ribery is in April, 36 years old, I have used the words, "we as FC Bayern München can not accept, and the Franck as a model, as a player of FC Bayern never allowed to use". His teammate, Thomas Müller said: "In these moments in which he feels unfairly treated, where he is hard to attack, then the horses go through with it. He can't control himself there."

Ribery is playing his twelfth season at FC Bayern, he grew up in Munich, after a turbulent first 25 years of his life. The car accident at the age of Two, of the him, the scars remained on his face. The expulsion from boarding school. The months as a road worker. "Every day," said Ribéry once over these years, "was difficult". Just because this time, he is proud of his success, and the fact that against all odds one of the most successful careers in soccer of the 21st century. Century is managed.

this time, however, comes the realization that it's worth it for him, if he shows insight. A player like him is, therefore, a monetary penalty of not less sensitive than a Ehrverlust related suspension. The penalty, FC Bayern made his players well, was once again a very forgiving.

In many conflict

in its twelve years in Munich, Ribéry was involved often in conflict, until the beginning of November, after a defeat in Dortmund, he had slapped a French journalist. Also on the field of play, he was noticed with a rough-and-tumble actions, the former Dortmund and Gonzalo Castro, he stuck a Finger in the eye. In Munich, but Ribery always felt the support of the club; he, of the reform school hard, was quickly a favorite of Uli Hoeness. The President was also to him, as Ribéry in France, was accused, because he had in a Munich Hotel Sex with a Minor. In Munich, he received the Affection that was denied him in his home country.

In France, the people saw Ribery once as the successor to Zinédine Zidane, they made but also about his grammar funny – Ribery had felt from his own country people never respected. When he was at the world Cup in 2010, one of the ringleaders in the strike against coach Raymond Domenech, broke the French final with one of their most famous footballers. In surveys, only a minority spoke in favour of that he put his career in the national team, and so this ended very quietly, with his refusal for the 2014 world Cup, due to back pain.

His native language Ribéry avoids usually his profiles in the social networks on which it is expressed preferably in English, with a pinch of gangsterism. He formulated the insults on the weekend, in French, was therefore, from his side of the irrevocable break with his countrymen. It is also the break with his Image as a Filou, funny jokes and other silliness.

Whether the fine is high or very high, it does not matter, it is only a matter of perspective. For Ribery, fighting passionately for a new contract, is likely to be the most sensitive consequence, anyway, that he has delivered in this fight for another year in Munich at the weekend, the best arguments against it.
