Brazil lose 1-0, Gilberto starts game
July 6, 2006
It was a sad day for Brazil as they played France… and played quite poorly. France, it seems, simply love playing against Brasil. Gilberto started the game and played the whole 90 minutes, playing very well. He dropped deep every time Lucio steamed up the pitch, and defended set pieces numerous times. It was France’s prowess in defence which meant Brasil’s strikers couldn’t score any goals. Gilberto’s Arsenal team mate Thierry Henry scored France’s winner.
The final score was 1-0 to France, and Gilberto will now go home to Brazil for a brief holiday before he comes back to London to start the new season with Arsenal.
Bad luck Brasil. Have a good rest, Gilberto.
