See below as Gabriel can be seen commenting that he was nervous ahead of Luiz’s penalty, or perhaps he means about the result in general!
At this point, it seems pretty much an open secret that the young Brazilian centre-back will make his way to Arsenal sooner or later.
Gooners will be pleased to see he’s taking such an interest in their matches before he’s even been confirmed as their player!
Now one imagines an official announcement can’t be too far away.
To me, Elnery played the best game yesterday, and The youngster, what’s his name, Etake, the attacker, play the worst, he didn’t even do what a young player is supposed to do, which is pressing the opponent
I agree with you 100% about both players.
Thanks for securing the community shield cup. up gooners
