'Ribery at 36 was better than Ronaldo!' - Fiorentina owner gushes after veteran stars versus Juventus
Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso was very happy over the summer when Franck Ribery chose to join his side despite sundry interests from all over the world. Rocco was effusive in his praise and appreciation of the former Bayern Munich star after he put in a star performance, as Fiorentina picked up their first of the season last Saturday.
Commiso said that Franck Ribery played better than Cristiano Ronaldo in Fiorentina’s 0-0 draw with Juventus on Saturday with them having the better chances throughout the game.
Did you see Ribery at the age of 36? He played better than Cristiano Ronaldo! And our two Italians, Gaetano Castrovilli and Federico Chiesa, were phenomenal.
He says Juventus had €300 million worth of players between transfer fees and salaries, while his was way below at about €50m and yet his club was still able to perform better, proving a point.
