Gilberto criticises Chelsea
Here is what Gilberto said on the Chelsea players:
They should respect the referee more. All their fouls there were two, three, four players around the referee putting him under pressure. It’s not good because the referee tried to do his best. If he is under pressure it is much more difficult.
They know the referee was doing his job very, very well. Especially when Ashley Cole got booked, they tried to put him under pressure to book our players. It’s not the kind of game everybody wants to see.
This is a good observation for this one game, but all teams surround the referee in some games, even Arsenal. However; Gilberto does indeed respect the referee more than most players do, so he is allowed to criticise it in my opinion.
