"All the work I do is for the team. If I have to go back and defend, I'll go back. If I have to attack, I go forward and attack. I'm never playing just for myself, I play for my team," Ribery told Bayern's website.
"I don't score many goals, but I do lay on a lot of goals," added Ribery, who is preparing for his fifth season with the Bavarians.
He was also quoted on Monday by Bild newspaper as saying: "In today's football, the team needs to function as one, particularly defensively. Franck Ribery must be integrated into that like any other player."
"We have a very good relationship, and it's very difficult for me if I don't have a good relationship with the boss. I don't enjoy my football and I don't play well."
"The last two years have been more difficult, partly because I kept picking up injuries.
"A lot of negative things happened, which made it a very tough time for me.
"But I'm strong. I've kept my head held high and always followed my own course. Everything is perfect again now, for me, for my family, and for FC Bayern."
