France is aiming for its 14th qualification for the World Cup final phase, and a crucial play-off match against Ukraine awaits. The outcome of this match will determine whether France secures a spot in the prestigious tournament, and Franck Ribery, a key player for Bayern Munich and the French national team, expresses the gravity of potential elimination.
According to Ribery, the absence of the French team from the World Cup would be nothing short of a catastrophe, impacting not just the players but the entire nation. The 30-year-old midfielder emphasizes the need for the team to approach the matches with confidence, without fear or stress. Ribery stresses the importance of playing the away match first.
The fixtures between France and Ukraine are scheduled for November 15 and 19. As Ribery competes for the 2013 Ballon d’Or, he is determined not to miss the opportunity to participate in the 2014 World Cup and contribute to France’s football legacy.
