He is a young coach," Ribery told Bild this week.  "He lacks experience. Sometimes he talks too much. Football is very simple."Ribery has also said he feels more trusted by new Bayern head coach Carlo Ancelotti, but Guardiola took the comments on the chin and insists he holds no ill will towards the former France international. "About Ribery I must say I love him very much," he told a news conference."It's good that Ribery says I'm young. I'm here to learn."</blockquote>
