Gilardino: I Didn’t Fail At Milan

New Fiorentina signing Alberto Gilardino has stressed that he doesn’t consider his spell at AC Milan as a failure.

Much was expected of Gilardino when Milan forked out a whopping €24m for the striker to take him from Parma in 2005.

However, things never really happened for the 26-year-old at San Siro, and eventually he completely lost the faith of coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Gilardino broke his ties with the Rossoneri at the end of the campaign, joining Fiorentina for €15m, but he does not consider his spell at the Stadio Meazza as a failure.

"At Milan I do not think that I failed,” Gilardino told Guerin Sportivo.

“In my first year I scored 19 goals, more than Sheva and in the next I still scored 16. I think that this experience was positive and educational, training with great champions, Maldini above all.

“This taught me to have a winning mentality and approach the big games in the best way.

“I've never had problems with my team-mates, although of course one can not be friends with everyone.”

The Italy international also expressed his admiration for Fiorentina boss Cesare Prandelli, the player who coached him when he rose to prominence at Parma.

"He made me explode at Parma, and in terms of his values I think that he resembles Ancelotti a lot.

“I learned a lot from Prandelli, and I have a great desire to return to working with him,” he concluded.

I think he could be considered a failure in his last season, but I had no problems with the other two. Wish him the best of luck at Fiorentina.

Gila suffered mentally. He didn't reproduce the form he showed during his Parma days. But he always put 110% into his game, and for that reason I wish him all the best at Fio.

Umm no, I never did (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

So, weren't Juve interested in him? Why didn't he sign up for them then? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

You know .. Now that I think of it, yeah .. Why didn't he ? I mean they were at their peak back then .. The were Scudetto winners ... But I guess it's the Europe factor, I mean thats how I make sense of it now ..

I still believe Gila could have been big for Milan... but everyone blamed him for whatever bad happened to the team in the past two seasons...
