Gilberto comes off injured at half time
October 26, 2008
After Panathinaikos drew 2-2 (having very nearly lost), Pana manager Ten Cate was questioned as to why he took Gilberto Silva off at half time.
When questioned about the withdrawal of midfield lynch-pin Gilberto Silva at half-time, Ten Cate said the Brazilian had a muscle concern and refused to link the result with his absence.
“We need to look in the mirror.†Ten Cate said.
“We are responsible for what happened today.
“We didn’t defend well.â€
He added: “Everyone makes mistakes but in defense and goalkeeping they are always fatal.â€
We’ll soon see how bad the injury is.
