Arsenal Invincible Gilberto Silva will never forget the patience and understanding shown by Arsene Wenger when he initially struggled to make the transition from Brazilian World Cup winner to Premier League 'Dog of War'.
'In Brazil, a central midfielder gets the ball and sometimes plays it to the side. In England, that's not very useful. You have to play it forward. It was important for me to adapt,' recalls Gilberto.
'Arsene identified this area in which I needed to improve my game and he came to me in a very good way to tell me this. We spoke privately, without anyone else knowing.
