Ribery slates teammates
France international midfielder Franck Ribery has criticised his Bayern Munich teammates over on-pitch tactics, the German media reported on Tuesday.
"I complained to the coach (Jurgen Klinsmann) about the fact that I never have enough support when I want to attack on the left side," Ribery told the tabloid daily Bild. "The coach said I had a point."
Ribery, who has been repeatedly linked with a big-money move away from the club, was speaking in reference to Bayern's disappointing 0-0 draw against Werder Bremen on Sunday, which left the reigning champions fifth in the Bundesliga table.
His remarks come at a time when speculation about his future is mounting, with his agent having recently suggested that he could be set for a move to Spanish league leaders Barcelona.
German football legend and former Bayern hero Franz Beckenbauer has expressed his frustration with the situation.
"It's always a problem when a player wants to leave and holds a gun to his club's head because he has only a slim chance of leaving," Beckenbauer told Bild.
