In joint fourth place Di Natale is now just 10 goals averse of Jose Altafini and Giuseppe Meazza. The former Italy international insists that he feels capable of overhauling the legendary deo.
"[Moving up to sixth] means that I'm fine, that's I'm playing well. When you break records and reach certain goals, you immediately want to achieve others. I now have two great champions just ahead of me... My desire to play and show my quality on the pitch has really returned." the attacker told Gazzetta dello Sport
Andrea Starmaccioni's arrival as Udinese coach last summer also played an important role in his decision to postpone his retirement, Di Natale added.
"We've created a great relationship with Stramaccioni. He is just one year older than I am and and we speak about everything. He has given me a lot and I have helped him to understand this club and its atmosphere." he added.
