Fiorentina midfielder Franck Ribery is delighted with his first months in Florence.

The 36 year-old veteran arrived in the summer from Bayern Munich.

He told L'Equipe: "We all had a great feeling. Florence is not very big but there is everything: international schools for my children, the sea is not far (90 km), the Tuscan countryside is beautiful and there is a lot to do with this open air.

"In addition, I love Italian food! The dressing room is also fantastic. Some players saw me arrive with big eyes. But they soon saw that I was someone very simple, affordable and who loved to joke. They all played an important role in my arrival."
