BRAZILIAN Gilberto had mixed emotions after finally making his Spurs debut against PSV on Thursday night.
The defender while happy to play his first game for the north London club was disappointed that it was his mistake that led to Jeffersson Farfan scoring the Dutch sides goal in their 1-0 win at White Lane in the first leg of the Uefa Cup Round of 16 tie.
"I dribbled and thought that Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate were behind me, but he (Farfan)was thenalone,"Gilberto told the clubs' official website. "It was so disappointing andIfeel sad for the team.
"However, we play this tie over 180 minutes and this was the first match, we now play the second leg and the team can still win."
The 31-year-old was left to reflect on mixed emotions. "I'm happy because I played my first match but unhappy because we lost.
"For me, apart from the goal, I feel good. I played a match at home, I enjoyed it and my injury felt okay. I had no problems. I've been out for a month and I've played with no problems, so that's positive."
