Gilberto Silva wary of Drogba
June 19, 2010
In an interview with Sky Sports, Gilberto Silva has commented on Brazil’s game with Ivory Coast on Sunday. He’s particularly worried about Didier Drogba’s hair – which, he thinks, could become self-aware and try to take over the world. He 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.”
“They have a strong team; we must play very well from the first to the last minute.”
“We don’t know yet whether he (Drogba) will play or not, even though he came on as a substitute, 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.”
Seems to be a valid concern – Ivory Coast will be a tough opposition; they are very athletic and have some top players with Champions League experience. He will also meet up with ex Arsenal team mate Kolo Toure.
