Fiorentina attacker Ribery: I'm happy and believe we can stay up

Fiorentina attacker Franck Ribery was delighted with his performance in their draw with Sassuolo.

Ribery says he's happy in Florence and confident they will soon be moving away from the dropzone.

He said, "This is my mentality, the head is important, also to show the younger ones that even at 37 years old you can work for good of the team. We were unlucky to only score one goal, but that's how it went.

"I came to Florence and I'm happy, I've said it many times. I want to help my team, my club and my city: it will be difficult but I'm here, and in complicated moments I have to be important and just think about working.

"Today we played more calmly and confidently, with less fear."
