Gallas keen on sorting out his past mistakes as skipper

July 31, 2008

Arsenal captain William Gallas have accepted to the media that he committed some great errors for Arsenal last season when he led the side. He has also promised the fans of Arsenal that he would make considerable alter in his attitude and approach.

The leadership of Gallas came under strong scrutiny after Arsenal’s hope to win any challenge was washed away last Christmas and some ugly news followed his way regarding the fact that the captain had lashed out at a hoarding of an advertisement when Birmingham scored a last minute equalizer against Arsenal in February.

One of the things that have got Gallas’s captaincy under the hammer was his leadership skills and the talent to gel a unit. Although, he played the role of a peacemaker during a confrontation between Emmanuel Adebayor & Nicklas Bendtner at White Hart Lane, still the unity seemed missing in the side.

The 30-year old skipper pleaded for another opportunity and claimed that he got to know the game better by playing for Arsenal. He added that it was quite natural of the fact that sometimes he committed some mistakes leading to the downfall of his team. He guaranteed a change in his attitude this season by modifying the way he interacted with the players of his team.

Reports, however, suggests that Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger has not guaranteed Gallas as the skipper. The Gunners Manager as been looking for Gallas’s replacements and Kolo Toure, who plays centre back at the Emirates, would be on highest priority.
