Gila's gunning for Juve
Friday 23 January, 2009

Fiorentina striker Alberto Gilardino hasn't found the net since December 14, but claims that he has been “saving himself for Juventus.”

Gila has revitalised his career at Fiorentina after a troubled spell at Milan and has 12 goals to his name already this term.

Although the former Parma hero hasn't been on target in 2009, he is expecting to come good in this weekend's grudge match against Juventus.

“I have been waiting for the most important game,” Gilardino told the Corriere dello Sport.

“I have been saving myself so that I can score against Juve. I still have fond memories of the first day of the season when I debuted for the Viola and netted.

“It was a crucial goal for me because it allowed me to immediately enter the hearts of the Fiorentina fans.

“I worked hard in Marbella over the Christmas break. I knew I wouldn't be at my best against Lecce, but things went better against Milan and I think I'll be 100 per cent for the Juve game.”
