Ribery could be punished – Platini

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Michel Platini says he does not understand Franck Ribery's decision to retire from international football and said he could be punished if he refuses to play. The Bayern Munich winger was a late withdrawal from the France squad which played in the World Cup earlier this year because of an injury and he subsequently announced his retirement from the national team. The Frenchman's Bayern team-mate Philipp Lahm has also decided to end his involvement with his national team after winning the World Cup with Germany. And Platini says he is confused by the players' decisions, insisting Ribery could be punished if he refused a call up by coach Didier Deschamps. "I have zero understanding of this," the Uefa president told Bild. "It is not the decision of the players, whether they come to the national team. This is the decision of the coach. "[With Ribery] it's a very different situation. Franck Ribery cannot simply decide whether he plays for France or not. If coach Didier Deschamps invites him, he must come to the national team."
