Gilberto plays for Brazil against Colombia
October 15, 2007
Brazil played Colombia yesterday, and the game finished 0-0. All of Brazil’s players got bad reviews, Gilberto included.
I saw the game, and it seemed that Gilberto had a few sparkly moments, interlaced with lots of dodgy moments. He got a yellow card for a silly tackle, and gave away the ball a lot. Here is how Goal.com summed up his review in all the Brazilian newspapers:
4 out of 10. The Arsenal man was not on form in Bogotá, perhaps deserving to be sent off for none-too-subtle fouling and his general lapses were luckily lapped up by the more alert Mineiro and later Josué. One of his worst seleção showings.
So that’s that. At least he didn’t get injured.
