| Gila is hungry for goals |

Fiorentina striking star Alberto Gilardino is desperate to get back to scoring ways after a six-game famine.
The ex-Milan man has enjoyed a renaissance in Florence since completing a summer switch to the Viola.
But Gila has been unable to add to his total of 12 Serie A goals since December 14 against Catania.
“I want to get back to celebrating - I miss it,” the former Parma hero declared.
“I am absolutely calm. I will return to scoring and I feel good physically. I hope to find the net soon.”
Fiorentina beat Napoli 2-1 in midweek to stay firmly in the race for Champions League qualification.
“We are determined and we got a crucial win over Napoli,” Gilardino continued.
“We must stay where we are in the table and give 100 per cent in every game. We want to finish as highly as possible.”
Gilardino saw a legal goal disallowed for offside against Juventus seven days ago.
“It was a vital goal for me and it would have been worth a draw,” he sighed.
“I have regrets but that's in the past now and there's no point in dwelling on it.”
The Fiorentina hitman concluded by giving his opinion on the bans handed out to Daniele Mannini and Davide Possanzini.
“I was amazed because it seems like an excessive penalty,” he said.
