High praise for Toni

Fiorentina boss Cesare Prandelli has been full of praise for Luca Toni.

Fiorentina boss Cesare Prandelli has been full of praise for Luca Toni following the player's two-goal salvo against Messina.

The top goalscorer in Serie A has been one of the revelations of the season for the Viola and again bolstered his World Cup chances at the weekend.

Toni scored both goals in Fiorentina's 2-0 win on Sunday and it is these types of displays that have had his coach Prandelli purring all term.

''It has been a big match, my guys have had an important reaction,'' said Prandelli.

''We have had a hard week but have done this for our supporters. We wanted to win and we wanted to do it against a good side.

''Congratulations to my players, in particular Toni. He deserves a special mention.

''When he's tranquil he arrives in the area with great calm.''
