Verona striker Luca Toni confessed his fears to Udinese's Antonio Di Natale that their own presence is a bad sign for Italian football.

Toni came to Verona in the summer of 2013 after his contract with Fiorentina had expired. The 2006 World Cup winner is now 37 and was born in the same year as fellow veteran striker Di Natale, with whom he shared his concerns.

“In the tunnel I spoke with Toto Di Natale and we agreed that if we're still the ones scoring the goals, then the clubs have reason to worry,” said the ex-Viola in an interview with Stadio Sprint.

“We're happy to score but strong young players must be found, and more must be invested in them.

“Today there are so many that play just twice and already think that they are footballers.”

Luca Toni scored his 300th professional goal this Sunday.
