Gilberto risaukan Arsenal


Gilberto yakin dan percaya bahawa Arsenal akan memenangi piala di musim hadapan tetapi beliau menyatakan bahawa itu bukan tugas yang mudah.

Setelah menamatkan enam musim di London, beliau meneruskan kariernya di Panathinaikos di awal bulan ini.

Pemergian Gileberto menyertai Flamini dan Hleb meninggalkan Emirates dan spekulasi terbaru juga melibatkan penyerang iaitu Emmanuel Adebayor ke Barca.

Arsenal yang ketiadaan piala bagi tiga musim dan Gilberto risaukan implikasinya kepada kempen akan datang.

Beliau yang meletakkan harapan kepada pemain muda Arsenal bagi memikul tugas ini merasakan Arsene Wenger perlu meletakkan sebuah trofi di Emirates bagi meredakan tekanan ke atas Arsenal.

"Of course there is massive pressure on them, but people cannot forget they are still a young side and they have a lot to improve, to grow and to learn, but it will be very important to them if they win something this year.

"I am sure everyone at the club, Arsene, his staff, the players will do the maximum they can to achieve and win titles. This is the target and they won't change it.


"But it will be hard again. It won't be easy because the other teams are stronger than last year and Arsenal will have a hard season, but I am confident they will handle it. I hope they can win this year."


Gilberto berkemungkinan akan bertemu Arsenal pada musim ini sekiranya Panathinaikos diundi bersama Arsenal tetapi beliau menyatakan ia tidak mustahil tetapi adalah sukar untuknya sekiranya bertemu Arsenal kembali.

"I hope not, but I think, if it happens, it will be very emotional for me after leaving the club and playing against them in the first season with another club"


"It is possible. We need to consider that, but both of the teams need to qualify first. I am sure Arsenal will qualify and Panathinaikos will. We will see in the draw."
