CRI听力:France's Franck Ribery Ends International Career
French winger Franck Ribery is ending his career with the national team to focus on his club and family.
The 31-year-old told the news to German magazine Kicker in an interview to be published on Thursday.
Ribery, a 2006 World Cup finalist who was Europe's player of the year in 2013, says he wanted to make way for a younger generation of players.
"I want to focus on my family and fully concentrate on my work at Bayern Munich and make way in the national team for the many young and exciting players, One has to know when to stop. I have experienced so much and now is the time for others to come forward."
Ribery battled to be fit for the World Cup but despite intensive treatment he failed to make it to Brazil, where France lost to Germany in the quarter-finals.
