Sammer: `We do not take Costa as a deputy of Ribery.`

The Sporting Director of Bayern Munich, Matthias Sammer assured that Douglas Costa is not attracted, to take the place of the injured Franck Ribery.
`Franck Ribery is in sick bay for a long time and I think that such statements show disrespect to him.`,said Sammer.
`Franck is injured, he could not train with the rest of the guys, but he`s a player of Bayern Munich.`
`We will wait as long as necessary, he has our full support and we hope that he will return healthy as soon as possible.`
`Douglas Costa is not his deputy. Of course, that Costa can play on the right, because hee can attack into the center with his strong left foot.`
`But Douglas also can play on the left wing and in the middle. Look at it as an offensive player who is very good.`added the winner of the Golden Ball for the 1996 year.
