Beyond his talents as a footballer, Franck Ribéry has built a reputation as a joker in all the locker rooms in which he has passed. Never the last to have fun, the former French international and Bayern Munich winger also made jokes that almost turned badly. As was the case during a gathering of the Blues on the sidelines of the 2014 World Cup.
Passing through the Twitch channel of Streamer Zack Nani for the Zack freewheeling program, Rémy Cabella returned to a hoax by Franck Ribéry aimed at one of the executives of the time, Patrice Evra. During a lunch in Clairefontaine, the LOSC player, then a new new one in blue, was sitting next to the “Kaiser”, who asked him to challenge Patrice Evra, who did not appreciate at all …
Cabella: “Ribéry put me in a quagmire”
“Ribéry you should know that he is as crazy as me, even even crazier!” He heated me without knowing me, but he understood. He said to himself: 'The little one I will handle it very easily'. And said to me: 'Oh, do: Evra! Like that. Do, worry '. I laugh with everyone, we are human. Whether it's Evra or another, I laugh with you, there is no I take it from above. Ribéry heated me so much, at some point I do: 'Evra'! “Said Cabella.
And to continue: ” And Pat, now that I know him very well, I know how he is. I felt that he was not happy, he doesn't like it in public that a youngster makes fun of him or almost. He wants to keep his status. »» After realizing that the joke had not passed, Cabella went to apologize before the afternoon training with “Pat” on the advice of Olivier Giroud.
“In the afternoon, before Giroud training comes to see me and said to me: 'Rémy, you're crazy. Don't do that, it's Patrice Evra ',
he explained. I tell him that we are there to laugh. Ribéry put me in a quagmire. I told myself that I laugh with Ruffier, I can laugh with everyone. You should know that Pat has a status, but he does not want people to make fun of him apart from Ribéry, but it was his friend. I had been to see it and I apologized out of respect. »»
