Gilberto on Carling Cup final
February 20, 2007
After the Carling Cup “Brawl”, which the media have treated like a bloody gun battle to the death, Gilberto has spoken out about it. He wasn’t part of the game, but that didn’t stop the shit-stirrers in the media asking everyone then can about it.
Question: Is it true that the Carling Cup final is the worst, most bloody disgrace of a match you’ve ever seen in your life?
Answer: The Carling Cup is still a sad memory for us. Now we must think only about the FA Cup. Our aim is to go to the next round by beating Blackburn however we can at their ground.
It will be a very positive thing [to beat Blackburn], especially for our fans after we lost against Chelsea in Cardiff. In the first game we played we deserved to win because we were more dangerous, but the Blackburn keeper was very good and saved them.
Everybody in the Arsenal dressing room is very ambitious and we want to win the FA Cup and the Champions League. We are only thinking of winning both of the games.
I don’t know what the coach will do, but I know that whoever plays on Wednesday Arsenal’s aim is to win and go through to the quarter-finals of the Cup.
Question successfully deflected. Good work, Bert… and good luck for the game against Blackburn!
