All Franck Ribéry actually wanted during the 2018/19 winter break was to eat a steak at the restaurant "Nusr-Et" in Dubai. Chef Nusret Gökçe wanted to go the extra mile and served the Frenchman not just any steak, but a gold-plated piece of meat for a few euros more. Franck shared the enjoyment of the steak with his fans via his Instagram account.
It did not go down well. A first-rate shitstorm ensued. But Ribéry hit back. Via his Instagram stories, he told the critics of his culinary preferences: "Let's dot the i's and cross the t's for 2019. Starting with the envious, the angry, who were surely created by a broken condom: fuck your mothers, your grandmothers and your entire family tree.
I owe you nothing; my success I owe above all to God, to myself and to those close to me who believed in me. You are nothing more than pebbles in my shoe." In a further comment, he turned to "the pseudo-journalists who always criticise me and my actions."
When he did something good, it was never in the media. "No, they'd rather talk about the holidays I spend with my family, they scan my actions, what I eat, etc.," the Bayern professional concluded. Support came from Ribéry's wife Wahiba. Even before Franck, she raged on Instagram: "Don't worry, we are all very pleased to see that we are being followed even in the kitchen. I am on the verge of throwing up, believe me.
Poor France, that there are actually so many idiots and pigs!" Incidentally: the steak Ribéry ordered was an Ottoman steak. Without gold it costs €239 according to the menu. With precious metal, presumably considerably more. However, it is safe to assume that Ribéry did not pay for the steak. Compliments of the chef.
