Gilberto: “We are stronger this year”
December 28, 2006
From The Worst Newspaper In The World. Gilberto said:
A lot of people have criticised us for our lack of physical strength but we are showing we are more competitive than they say. Last season we would have struggled in these kind of games but now we are showing great character and we are doing what is needed to cope with these tactics.
It is not easy for us when we are up against teams who play mainly long balls and have strong, tall players up front. But in my opinion we have been perfect in our last couple of away games because we have coped well with high balls and still played our own game when we have been in possession.
This time last year we would not have won a game like that. But this team has grown up and shown great spirit.
Preach it, brother.
