Bayern Munich's French veteran winger Franck Ribery is still exchanging criticism and praise with the former chief coach of the football club, Spanish Pep Guardiola.
"I love him," Guardiola told Bild about Ribery, from the Chinese city of Shenzhen where his current club, Manchester City, won a pre-season friendly against Borussia Dortmund.
Ribery had said how comfortable he is with the new Bayern coach, Italian Carlo Ancelotti, saying he feels more freedom with him, reports Efe.
He added that Ancelotti is a great coach and knows how to deal with great players.
