Gilberto to face Ivory Coast with Brazil
June 17, 2010
On Sunday, Brazil will play Ivory Coast in the World Cup.
He will be up against old Arsenal team mate Kolo Toure.
Here’s what Gilberto Silva said:
“We will be expecting a lot of difficulties against them. They have a strong team, but we are very confident that we can do well and win the game.”
“When Kolo and I went through Arsenal’s unbeaten (2003/04) season that was a great achievement for both of us and it will be nice to see him again at the Ivory Coast match.”
“We don’t know yet whether Drogba will play or not, even though he came on as a substitute [in his last game], but we’ll see.”
“Of course, we respect him when he plays against us, he’s a very important player for them. He is a player about which we should be very careful.”
“They have a strong team, we must play very well from the first to the last minute.”
“We have every preparation to make sure that the team keeps on improving.â€
Gilberto will have to be on his toes
