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." 當初聽到新隊長是加拉斯的時候, 其實我有小小的驚訝了一下 倒不是說加拉斯適不適任的問題, 他大鳴大放的個性或許適合這個職務 不過G19上季代理隊長的工作~~我的感覺是非常稱職 論年資論經歷, 副隊長扶正也是合情合理的事 就算不打算扶正G19, 禮貌上先知會一聲也是應該 只是如果真如副隊長所說的, 整件事AW都沒有先跟他說的話 那我也蠻替副隊長叫屈 因為我不認為AW是一個人情世故不懂的教練 所以我更不理解這件事情怎麼會弄得雙方有疙瘩 除非…AW有別的想法?? (很難不聯想….= =") 希望是我的胡思亂想… --
