Gilberto played in Brazil’s game at the Maracana stadium yesterday. The game was against Ecuador, and Brazil won 5-0. The game started slowly, but Brazil ended up winning the game extremely comfortable, and in some style.
Gilberto Silva didn’t really figure much in the game, though it’s an improvement on his previous game against Colombia which he was criticised for. He made some useful interceptions though, like usual.
The game saw Brazil’s return to the Maracana Stadium – a place which they haven’t played for since five years ago. So it was a rather historic day, and a first for Gilberto.
The biggest plus of the day was that Bert didn’t get injured, and will return to Arsenal to fight for a place in the squad for the forthcoming Bolton match.
