After Arsenal hard earned point at the Bridge on Sunday, stand in captain, Gilberto has slammed the Blues for their lack of respect for the match officials.
As Tim Stillman reported after the game, for each and every decision in the match, the Chelsea captain and his buddies would be in the ref’s ear, obviously a ploy forged by Josie considering the post-match pictures of him whinging at the ref as he walked off the pitch.
Well, Bert didn’t like it.
‘They should respect the referee more, all their fouls there were two, three, four players around the referee putting him under pressure.’ Said Gilberto.
‘It’s not good because the referee tried to do his best. If he is under pressure it is much more difficult.’
‘They know the referee was doing his job very, very well.’
‘Especially when Ashley Cole got booked, they tried to put him under pressure to book our players. It’s not the kind of game everybody wants to see.’
On the flip side of the coin Mr Silva was a model captain and kept his young charges in line throughout the game, and with any hint of a kerfuffle, he was there to diffuse the situation.
A true role model to all.
