Wenger has given the armband to William Gallas following the summer departure of Thierry Henry to Barcelona. But Gilberto, who took on the role when Henry was injured last season, was disappointed to be overlooked for the job on a permanent basis. The Brazil international has been named vice-captain, but he is unhappy about how he learned of Wenger's decision. "Of course I was surprised because I was captain all last season when Henry didn't play, and after his move to Barcelona I naturally thought I would be this time," Gilberto told the Daily Star. Life goes on "Arsene is the manager and it is his decision and I have to accept that. Life goes on and I will get on with my job like I always have. "But I was surprised he didn't speak to me about his decision. He had the time to do it because I was at the training ground before it was made public. "He didn't say anything to me and I just found out about it that evening when I saw it on the Arsenal website. "I wasn't upset about not being captain, but I was about the way I learnt about it." However, Gilberto, who has been linked with Juventus, insists the snub will not lessen his commitment to Arsenal. He added: "I will give the same commitment to the club that I always have. This is an important season." 当初听到新队长是加拉斯的时候, 其实我有小小的惊讶了一下 倒不是说加拉斯适不适任的问题, 他大鸣大放的个性或许适合这个职务 不过G19上季代理队长的工作~~我的感觉是非常称职 论年资论经历, 副队长扶正也是合情合理的事 就算不打算扶正G19, 礼貌上先知会一声也是应该 只是如果真如副队长所说的, 整件事AW都没有先跟他说的话 那我也蛮替副队长叫屈 因为我不认为AW是一个人情世故不懂的教练 所以我更不理解这件事情怎麽会弄得双方有疙瘩 除非…AW有别的想法?? (很难不联想….= =") 希望是我的胡思乱想… --
