Verona forward Luca Toni believes he and Mario Mandzukic are among a dying breed of centre-forwards.
The veteran striker has netted in his last two outings for the Gialloblu but they remain rooted to the bottom of the league table.
With a trip to a resurgent Juventus looming, Toni believes his side are capable of staging an upset.
“Juventus? They are much stronger but we can make it difficult for them,” the 38-year-old told Tuttosport.
“I believe in salvation, the team does belong in last place and Verona can pick up points everywhere.”
Toni also touched upon the increase in false-nine’s in Europe, with his opposite number on Wednesday, Mandzukic, among a dying breed of number 9’s.
“Mandzukic? He is a centre-forward. He and I are among the few left.
“Now it is fashionable to play a false-nine.”
