"Since Ancelotti has arrived, I feel more trust. He's a great coach. I need people like him, Jupp Heynckes or Ottmar Hitzfeld. I need this trust in me, to play off my strengths. "It all depends on things like trust, respect and proximity. Then I cannot only give 100 percent - I can give 150 percent."Ribery was just warming up though, and has since accused Guardiola - who has won six league titles and two Champions League crowns as a manager - of lacking experience, and being, in his opinion, overly controlling of his players.
"I don't need a coach to tell me what I have to do right on the pitch when I have the ball," Ribery told Bild.
"He is still a young coach. He lacks experience. Sometimes he (Guardiola) talks too much, football is very simple. "You can't make a mistake in the semi-finals of the Champions League, you have to have the big names, your best players, on the field."That last barb was undoubtedly a reference to Guardiola's decision to drop Thomas Muller from Bayern's team that lot 1-0 to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-final first-leg last season. We doubt Ribery will be reuniting with Pep at City any time soon.
