Despite the hot weather, many Arsenal fans showed up from noon on August 2nd, lining up to meet club legend Gilberto Silva, who spent 6 years with the Gunners and was the Premier League champion in the 2003/04 season.
The former player born in 1976 was also part of the Brazilian team that won the 2002 World Cup, alongside other famous names such as Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho...
After minutes of waiting in the sun, the moment the legendary Gilberto Silva appeared with a friendly smile and waved, the fans burst into tears.
This is the first time the former Brazilian midfielder has come to Ho Chi Minh City in particular and Vietnam in general. He expressed his joy and emotion at being warmly welcomed by everyone - an atmosphere that was even 'hotter' than the weather that was making him sweat!
During the interview, Gilberto Silva shared about his childhood, when he had nothing but a ball and from then on, he strived to step up and achieve success at both club and national team levels. He encouraged Vietnamese parents, if their children are passionate about football, and other fields, to let them explore , experience and develop to shape themselves.
Present at the summer playground event "Dirty Fortress", player Tien Linh said that meeting legend Gilbero Silva today was "a childhood dream come true" . The reason is because the Arsenal and Brazilian football legend is one of the famous names that inspired him and his love for the football field.
The Vietnamese striker then had his shirt personally signed by Gilberto Silva and his full name written on the ball as a souvenir. Meanwhile, the Arsenal legend caused a stir when he wore the conical hat he was given.
And another interesting moment was Gilberto Silva showing off his juggling skills with Tien Linh and Do Kim Phuc, with the final victory belonging to the Vietnamese team's striker!
