Ribéry suddenly let out a loud scream, alarming all the tenants in the house. They stood on the stairs and looked in puzzlement at the lad with the knife scar on his face, who was spinning in circles and screaming repeatedly. The fat landlady squeezed to the front from behind the crowd and shouted in a louder voice than Ribéry to calm him down. Ribéry finally stopped his madness.

”Franck, what is wrong with you?” asked the landlady.

Ribéry shouted, ”I'm going to Britain, I'm going to the United Kingdom!”

”Britain? Isn't it just across the sea? What are you going to do over there?” asked a tall, lanky man who was in his underpants.

”Play football! Play professional football!!” Just from thinking about that call and a future in England, Ribéry's face was bunched up in excitement. ”I... I'm going to invite you all to dinner! And drinks! I want to celebrate!”

The landlady spread her hands and said sternly, ”Well, Franck, since you have money, pay me last month's rent first.”

Upon the mention of the matter, Ribéry's face fell again. ”Can I owe you first, Aunt Emma?” You know I'm...”

Seeing his embarrassment, the landlady smiled as she ambled down the stairs and gave Ribéry a hug. ”Okay, don't worry, Franck. I wish you good luck.” Then she gently kissed Ribéry's forehead. After her, the tenants who lived under the same roof also came up to Ribéry and congratulate him on finding another team.

”Do your best, Franck! Become a star player! Just like Thierry Henry!”

”Let all of France know that we can produce a superstar if we work hard!”

”Franck—Ribéry!”

”Olé! Olé!”

Ribéry felt lucky that a Premier League team was keen on him even though he was only a young, unknown footballer playing in the Championnat National. His biggest problem had been resolved.
