Something of a surprise selection, the Hertha Berlin wing-back made his international debut only last year, but has been a regular squad member since then. Likely to act as back-up to Roberto Carlos, Gilberto has proved to be a success in his two years with Hertha, having failed to make the grade at Internazionale earlier on in his career. Just turned 30, he returned to his homeland from Italy and rebuilt his career with spells at Vasco Da Gama, Gremio and Sao Caetano, before earning a return to Europe in 2004.
