Gilardino:"My journey isn't over, I'm close to scoring 200 goals in Serie A: I can make it"

This could end up being the first season in which Alberto Gilardino doesn't score a goal since he became a professional. The World Cup winning champion spoke to Gazzetta dello Sport about how he wants to end his career and his difficult season:"How much do I miss scoring goals? Very much so. Goals are my drug. I try not to make it into a sickness, but I look forward. I was very comfortable at Palermo and I would have stayed but the relationship with the president wasn't simple. I wanted serenity. I had the chance to go to Empoli but it was a mistake, I had nothing to do with their style of play. Pescara? Oddo pushed hard to sign me, but I got hurt in the first match and then he got sacked. Zeman has said he's counting on me. My journey isn't over, I'm close to 200 career goals, I can reach this objective, right now I'm at 188 with Del Piero and Signori, and I truly have the desire to leave a bigger mark
