Gila's violin starts to play again

It has only been little over a month since Alberto Gilardino joined Fiorentina after three rather unfortunate miserable years at Milan and it looks like Prandelli has already brought back part of the old Gilardino.

The boy that played for Milan was not the boy that had scored 23 goals in two consecutive years at Parma. But it now looks like Gila has finally found his silver lining in the shape of Prandelli who seems to have found a new spirit in him.

Gilardino's approach to every game is a lot calmer and confident and he seems to take it in his stride which has seen him net important goals for La Viola. He netted a goal in Fiorentina's Champions League qualifier as well as scoring in the dying minutes against Juventus in the first game of the Serie A season.

Albi's well struck goal against Juventus saw him bring back his old violin celebration as he ran to the Curva Friesole to thank his fans and celebrate below them. This Gilardino was definitely not the same person who struggled at Milan, this was the player from Parma.

His touching celebration and smile warmed the hearts of all who supported him through his tough times and it is thanks to Prandelli for rekindling the life in the World Cup winner. The violin has started to play and soon people from Milan to Palermo will feel his orchestra in full force.

It was a beautiful finish and reminded me of what he does better than any other Italian player - turn in the box. The fact that the goal came when we were down to ten men against Juve made it even better. Grazie Gila!

You are 100% correct Ginkers, Gial's turn makes you realise why he was said to be the most complete Italian striker. It is great to see the old Gila back. Lets hope he stays. And Congrats to Fiorentina for fighting back with a man down was sweet to see. :)
