Kluivert: AC Milan pressure could crush Huntelaar
Ex-AC Milan striker Patrick Kluivert says Klaas-Jan Huntelaar must overcome huge pressure to be a success at the San Siro.
Still only 33, Kluivert is now coaching the youth team at PSV Eindhoven and was asked about the Rossoneri's capture of Huntelaar from Real Madrid.
He said: "He knows how to score many goals. I hope that he does well, for himself and all his Dutch fans. But Italy is the most difficult place for a forward. In Spain it is easier.
"The San Siro is a wonderful but difficult ground.
"He has a lot to lose. The great expectations weigh on you and can also crush you. Klaas-Jan from this point of view I hope is more fortunate than me, but he must be careful. He is a strong character, this will help him."

no pressure should exert to huntelaar,let him play with happiness.If can,acmilan should boost their team by buying 1 more defender
It's fair enough for Partick Kluivert to say that. He was a fantastic Dutch forward, and didn't do so well at Milan. I think Huntelaar needs to shake off Real Madrid not wanting him, and he will be very good at Milan.
well in case u didnt know most people do very well especially when they are under pressure and when they know many people are looking up to them..lm sure huntelaar is going to do well and become the fan's favourite..jus because mr kluivert u were unsuccessful at milan it doesnt mean other people are not gonna do well
