If you were a person with obvious scars on your face that had caused you pain or even despair, would you choose to do that when your economic conditions allowed you to change your appearance, that is, you could have a facelift? Or stay the same?
I believe that most people will choose the former, that is, plastic surgery, although the cost of plastic surgery is not cheap, and it will become worth it for his own appearance, but for Frank Ribery, he chose the latter, that is, to remain the current, he has money, but he wants to remember the past and continue to be strong.
Speaking of Ribery, people naturally will not forget his face, Scar Man is his nickname! The bitterness behind today's infinite scenery of Ribery is not something that ordinary people can understand. Let's listen to the story of Ribery in silence:
Child Ribery, fighting suffering and humiliation
On April 7, 1983, Ribery was born in Boulogne, France, a poor place where the world literary giants Balzac, Maupassant and others were included, and his life was destined to walk with suffering from the beginning. When he was two years old, he fought against death. One day, Ribery was driving with his parents, sitting in the back seat without a seat belt. The accident suddenly happened, their car collided violently with another car, and Ribery's head slammed into the windshield. "At the time we didn't have seat belts in the back seats of our car," Rebbe's father, François, recalled, "Frank was so badly injured that he lay in the hospital for a long time, and we were at one point worried about losing him forever." Fortunately, Ribery won the battle against death, he survived, but the bigger test was yet to come, because of the car accident he left a very obvious vertical mark on his face, making his already unattractive face even more ugly, and he was often ridiculed by others for his appearance as a child, and others described him as Quasimodo (the ugly monster in "Notre Dame de Paris"), when he often cried because of this, but he never cried in front of people. Later, it was football that gave him hope, he learned to protect himself, to turn the cynicism of others into a driving force for progress.

In addition to the scars on his face, he also had to fight against the harsh living conditions. Ribery's father, François, was a construction worker, his mother, Marie-Pierre, a clerk, and Ribery had two brothers and a younger sister. The family of six lived in a small slab house in a neighborhood called the "Green Road" north of Boulogne, where Ribery spent his troubled childhood.
At the beginning of his career, he was destined to be erratic and uncertain
Ribery started with the Youth Team of Lille, where he had three less pleasant seasons without outstanding performances and the Youth Team of Lille did not leave his wishes, and at the end of the season, Ribery returned to his hometown and joined bronni Boleggni.
From 2002 to May 2007, Ribery traveled to many teams, and Boulogne, Metz, Galatasaray, Marseille and other teams have left his footprints. In Galatasaray and Marseille, Ribery gradually found the feeling of playing, and he began to score goals and deliver assists. In his five months at Galatasaray, Ribery scored five goals and delivered five assists; in marseille's two years, Ribery scored 12 goals in 68 appearances, delivered 14 assists, and helped Marseille win the second place in Ligue 1 in 2006-2007.

In the 2006 World Cup, Ribery scored a goal
Before 2006, Ribery had never made his senior French team, but as he improved his performances at Marseille, he finally made his debut in France against Mexico in 2006, where he was replaced by Trezeguet in the 74th minute. The 2006 World Cup was a year of real fame for Ribery, who played a key role in France's quarter-final against Spain in his first World Cup, a game in which France was not well received, but Ribery's performance amazed the world. In the 41st minute of the game, he received a pass from Vieira, calmly swung past the Spanish goalkeeper Casillas, pushed the ball and helped the team equalize. In the end, France defeated Spain 3-1 to advance to the quarter-finals. In that World Cup, Ribery won the World Cup runner-up with the team.

Transferred to Bayern and began the conquest of the Allianz kings
After the 2006 World Cup, Ribery became famous and attracted the attention of giants such as Bayern, and finally, in the summer of 2007, Ribery joined the Bundesliga banba Bayern Munich for 25 million euros.
It can be said that the transfer to Bayern is the most correct decision for Ribery's career! There, he got what he wanted and brought the allianz stadium his own moments.
At Bayern, Ribery is at the heart of the organisation. In the first season, Ribery conquered the fans of the Allianz Arena, in the Bundesliga, 28 appearances, scored 11 goals and gave 9 assists, scored 3 goals in the Europa League and gave 7 assists, helped Bayern regain the Bundesliga title, in addition to winning the German Footballer of the Year, for two consecutive years the French Footballer of the Year, he was also selected for the best team selected by UEFA and FIFA, which are all affirmations of Ribery's excellent performance.

The infamous recruitment of prostitutes threatened to ruin their careers
Ribery experienced his first successful season at Bayern, and the following year's brothel recruitment incident almost ruined his career. In France, prostitutes are a legal profession, but the premise must be 18 years old, and Saria was not 18 years old when she engaged in the prostitute profession in 2008, which is not in line with the regulations, but Ribery said that he did not know the fact that the other party was under 18 years old, and Bayern officials and Ribery's wife publicly expressed support for her husband, and finally because of insufficient evidence, Ribery was exempted from prison, the brothel door incident obviously affected Ribery's competitive state, but the door of the national team was not closed to him, according to the investigation, nearly 70% The French have all backed three internationals, including Ribery, to remain in the squad.

Three consecutive major competitions, Ribery is still the absolute core?
At the last national team tournament, Euro 2008, as the absolute core of the Gallic rooster midfield, Ribery did not have a convincing performance for the French, and France did not have a good signing, forming a death group with Italy, the Netherlands and Romania. In three group games, 1 draw and 2 defeats only accumulated 1 point at the bottom of the group, Ribery contributed nothing and was pushed to the cusp.

In the face of all this, then France coach Domenek chose to believe Ribery. At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Ribery competed as he wished. This time he still failed to save the French team in the water and fire, the first game of the group was Uruguay, a 0-0 draw against the opponent, the second game was 0-2 to Mexico, and the last game was still lost against the host South Africa. Unchanged points, familiar ending, France once again out of the group, two consecutive major competitions did not qualify for the knockout round. Ribery's own performance is even more sleepwalking, as the absolute core of the team, three games and one goal have not scored, only one assist, so how does Ribery take over the responsibility of the national team revival?

Two years later in the European Championship, Ribery ushered in the opportunity to prove himself again, in the group stage, Ribery sent an assist, did not break the goal, the team 1 win, 1 draw 1 loss accumulated 4 points from the group to qualify, France finally ushered in the knockout round. But in the quarter-finals against Spain, once again again against the opponents who staged their own famous games, Ribery failed to regain his glory, the team lost 0-2, missed the top 4, and Spain became the final champion.
Reaching its peak, Ribery in 2013 was unmatched
If ribery's career was judged as the most classic season, the 2012-2013 season was the biggest hit. In the 2012-2013 season, Ribery reached his peak, scoring 11 goals and providing 16 assists in his 39 club games to help Bayern crown the Treble. His performance in the national team is also very good, France was squeezed by Spain to the play-offs in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers and the start of the play-offs was unfavorable, Ribery stepped forward, 7 World Qualifiers 4 goals and 3 assists, France under his leadership successfully entered the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The club triple crown added, the national team successfully entered the World Cup finals, 2013 Ribery is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding players in the world football, so the various awards should come, in addition to the third election of the French Footballer of the Year, but also in the 2013 Champions League group stage draw and The Best Player in Europe Award Ceremony, Ribery (36 votes) with an absolute advantage to beat Messi (13 votes), C Ronaldo (3 votes) was elected the best player in Europe, Messi and C Ronaldo were missed for two consecutive years. Of course, such an outstanding performance naturally made it to the top three and the best team of the FIFA Ballon d'Or Awards, even if it was lost to Messi C Ronaldo in the final Ballon d'Or, but who dares to say that Ribery in 2013 was not outstanding enough to deserve the glory of the top three of the Ballon d'Or?

Missing the World Cup in Brazil, Ribery took off his blue jersey
In Brazil in 2014, Ribery missed out on his national campaign due to injury, and without Ribery's France, they lost 0-1 to the final champion Germany in the quarter-finals. On 14 August 2014, Ribery announced his retirement from the national team, taking off the blue jersey he had worn for eight years, and from his fame in 2006 to his regret of missing the World Cup in 2014, Ribery left France with 82 appearances, 16 goals and a sharp side performance and a timeless scar.
"I feel like it's time to leave the national team, I'm going to leave more time for my family after that, and of course I'm going to focus more on bayern and I want to leave the opportunity to more young players," Ribery said in an interview.
However, recently Ribery said that if Deschamps (the head coach of the French team) needs him, he cannot quit playing for the country, because this year's European Championship is held in France, the young French team is afraid to compete in the European Championship without Benzema and Valvoena, if there is a healthy Ribery, I believe it can bring a lot of winning confidence and championship temperament to the French team.

Finally, is Bayern the final destination?
Ribery is still in the Bayern squad, and in the past few years, Ribery has missed many games due to injury, especially last season, only 13 appearances in all competitions, and although the team won the Bundesliga, he lost the title in the German Cup final with Wolfsburg. Without Ribery Bayern being eliminated by Barca in the Champions League semi-finals, would the result have been different if ribery and Robben had killed Barca a few years ago? He has played only 10 times in all competitions this season, with only 1 goal in the account. At the age of 32, his form is not the same as his peak.

In the past Bayern, Ribery and Robben's wings flew together, and the scene of Muller's magical running position in the middle was difficult to reproduce, due to gradual aging and constant injuries, the Robery combination gradually gave way to the Douglas-CostaGasley-Koman combination, and the two played very well in the game where Robery was injured. In the Champions League quarter-finals, Koeman had a key play, assisting Müller to equalize and lock in the win, helping the team eliminate the old owner Juventus, which is the epitome of the rising star's outstanding performance throughout the season, playing for Paris, Juventus and Bayern in less than 20 years old, enough to see his talent. Douglas Costa has been seamlessly connected with Bayern all season, and he is good at multiple positions (left and right wingers, left-backs and attacking midfielders), supporting Bayern's flank (especially the left) attack, which has become a nightmare for full-backs in the Bundesliga.

With Koeman and Costa, do Bayern still need Ribery today? Should Ribery, who has already passed, seek new challenges in the final days of his career? Will Bayern be Ribery's final destination?
