"I'm happy here at Bayern," Toni said in an interview with German magazine Bild.

"The Germans are punctual, precise and effective, and I want to be a little more German.

"However, they need to learn how to celebrate from us and let themselves go a bit at the end of the season."

Toni is showered by praise in Germany after scoring 36 goals so far in his first season with the Bavarians.

He joined from Fiorentina in the summer and helped Bayern win the Bundesliga and reach the semis of the UEFA Cup.

Toni said his goalscoring run has been largely inspired by teammate Franck Ribery.

Frenchman Ribery signed for Bayern from Marseille and formed with Toni one of the most successful partnerships in Europe.

"I have to talk about Ribery because goals are always the product of a team effort," he said.

"I knew that Franck was a great player, but I didn't imagine that we could get on so well in our professional and personal lives.

"We often go out to dinner together. He speaks good Italian, even if he speaks it with a funny accent."
