AC Milan boss Leonardo: I can’t explain sudden Huntelaar success
AC Milan coach Leonardo admits he has no explanation for Klaas-Jan Huntelaar breakthrough goals in their victory over Catania.
The Dutchman struck twice in the 2-0 win.
“This was so wonderful. There are some things that go beyond reason and are about emotions. There is so much behind this match that makes me happy,” smiled Leonardo.
“The points are also important, but I above all am enjoying what happened within the squad and the players tonight. It was wonderful.
“With everything Klaas has gone through, he's new here, doesn't speak the language, had a nightmare start, then to see what happens tonight.
“You all saw what happened on the field, how they celebrated with him. It's the kind of night that makes it worth it to be a Coach.
“There is a constant search to get every player in the right frame of mind to give his best. The team has been together for a long time and their reciprocal admiration emerges when things go well.
“You can talk about tactics as much as you like, but tonight's victory was borne from something more.”

I shuld blame our coach 4 being stupid.So he put huntellar in jst abt few mins 4 him 2 come and perform magic abi?He ought 2 be playin matches in milan bt i dn,t knw wat dis coach is doing abeg
Second goal was just wooooooow! just because of this talent, imagination and execution his contract should be renewed. Huntelaar is a great striker, just like Inzaghi.
Nice job Huntelar! Milan need you!
