Genoa striker Gilardino frustrated with Italy performance

Genoa striker Alberto Gilardino was frustrated after scoring in Italy's clash with Bulgaria.

Gilardino scored his 19th Italy goal to beat Bulgaria, but is still "a little angry, as I could've scored a second."

The Genoa striker is just one shy of 1982 World Cup winner Paolo Rossi's total for the Azzurri.

"I am a little angry, as I could've scored a second today and matched Rossi's tally. I should've been sharper and gone right round the goalkeeper," he told Rai Sport.
