AC Milan coach Pippo Inzaghi was delighted with two-goal Keisuke Honda after their 3-1 win at Hellas Verona.
Honda is the big star of Serie A so far this season.
Inzaghi smiled: "At the start of August I talked about Honda, so I knew he'd deliver. I was looking for a left-footed player for the 4-3-3 and as time went on I realised Honda was that man.
"He has technique, but also great strength and ran so much today."
