Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal on Friday insisted that he was satisfied with the work of Franck Ribery, despite the French winger having asked for more freedom on the pitch.

Ribery, who had been out for eight weeks with an ankle injury, scored a brace in Bayern's 3-0 victory over Swiss side Basel in their final Champions League group game on Wednesday.

It was his first goal for the club since he scored in the first round of the German Cup in August.
