“There’s a lot of young players that have a lot of common things with Gilberto, we all are trying to help him to, first of all, express himself on the field.“To try to play soon in the best of his capacity, but at the same time trying to help him to feel comfortable in the group and that’s something that we did very well in my opinion.“We have no complaints about his behaviour in these 3 -4 weeks that he’s been around.
