Ribéry managed the first strike before that, though, and thus rues the fact that he and Toni won't be able to comprise a double-act once more in Russia. He told Sporting Life, "It is always frustrating to lose the top scorer - a big member of the team - because it is a game we need to win." However, he added that there are two other top-class forwards waiting inthe wings. "We have two players who will want to replace him with Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose and they will want to score goals too," he revealed. Ribéry, formerly of Marseille, has previous experience against Zenit, the St. Petersburg side having knocked Marseille out of this competition back in 2006.
"I think they are a good team and have always gone a long way in the UEFA Cup," he warned. "They have knocked out two big teams in the competition already this season and it should be a good test for us. "I think they have developed a lot and are stronger than the team I met with Marseille." Franck has scored twice in nine UEFA Cup appearances so far this season.
