Gilberto has revealed that he has cleared the air with Arsenal boss
Arsene Wenger over his decision to award the captains armband to
William Gallas when it had seemed expected that the Brazilian would
get the honour.
The midfielder had been widely tipped to be named club captain
following Thierry Henry's departure to Barcelona this summer, but
while Gilberto was clearly unhappy with the decision it will not
lead him to seek a move away from North London.
"Me and Arsene spoke face to face about it and sorted it out. It's
important we have everything clear," said the 30-year-old.
"I have to respect that. I cannot change his feelings.
"I have to carry on and do my job like I always have and help the
team.
"This is an important season for all of us at the club."
He added: "The important thing for me is to finish well the rest of
my contract at Arsenal."
