Gilberto Silva Glad To Be Back
January 7, 2008
Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva has said he is glad to be back in the first team after playing the full 90 minutes against Newcastle United on Wednesday evening. The game ended 1-1 but it marked the return of the Brazilian midfielder who has missed a number of games this season.
“It is nice to get a chance to play a full game but of course I am doing the best I can to get back in the team,” Gilberto told the club’s official website.
“I will see what happens but of course I want to play in the first XI and I will do my best to achieve that.”
The 2002 World Cup winner added: “A big squad is important. At the moment we have a few injuries, but we have other players who can do a great job.
“The manager needs to change the team in some positions but we keep the same spirit and the same way of playing.”
