"But that's no problem. I know I have to control myself in these situations. "The match is important, the atmosphere is tense and the fans want to see our best performance. You have to try and not let yourself to be bothered by that too much. "It is very, very important for us. A match against Dortmund is like a derby - the pressure is always huge."Bayern issued a denial on Thursday after it was claimed that Ribery had agreed a new contract to keep him at the Allianz Arena until 2018. The former Marseille winger says negotiations are progressing well but stopped short of saying whether an agreement will be reached."It's not looking bad, but I can't say how the solution will look in the end," he said, before adding: "Bayern and I are like a couple."</blockquote>
