Franck Ribery may be only 23 but the France midfielder is already looking forward to the day he tells his children and grandchildren that he played in the same team as Zinedine Zidane.
Ribery, who will line up alongside Zidane in Wednesday's World Cup semi-final with Portugal in Munich, was one of two uncapped players called into Raymond Domenech's squad for the 2006 World Cup, the other being Wigan defender Pascal Chimbonda.
"He (Zidane) is great, extraordinary," said Ribery. "Everyone would like to play with Zidane and I have done everything I can to play in this World Cup. It's great to be at the World Cup playing alongside him and it will be great when later on in my career, or even when it's over, when I can say 'I played with Zizou'."
