Hellas Verona striker Luca Toni: I really wanted to be Capocannoniere

Hellas Verona striker Luca Toni is delighted to have won the Capocannoniere.

The 38 year-old shared the title this season with Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi.

"Last year I went close and came second in the Capocannoniere charts, but when I realised this term that I could actually win it, I really wanted to come first," Toni told the official Verona website.

"My secret is that I enjoy my football, am in good shape and living this experience in a relaxed way.

"I managed to make it into history and I am happy. I'll continue as long as I enjoy myself. If I won the Capocannoniere charts, it is thanks to my teammates, so I'm trying to decide what present to get them."
