The best thing is that it wasn't just random hate because he used to play for a rival. I have been watching Hakan since his time at Hamburg. His best season in Germany was the first one at Leverkusen when he was playing close to the attack and was used as a secondary striker in Leverkusen's 4-4-1-1. Then at Milan he turned things around when Pioli stopped playing him as LCM/LW, like previous coaches did, and deployed him as an AM in 4-2-3-1. That's why i was always arguing we should use him closer to goal and perhaps we should switch to 3-4-1-2/3-5-1-1. But he has been great as a LCM for us ever since the Juve game. Another thing is Milanisti often claimed Hakan is lazy. So far Hakan is anything but lazy, even in the matches he was poor. Perhaps the fact he's fighting for a trophy for the first time in his career has motivated him. Or perhaps it's Inzaghi's ability to improve his players, like he did with Luis Alberto.Loool me and Drago we're pretty negative towards Hakan in Sept&October. 2 months later we are thinking about buying his jersey and put it up on our walls.
Now it remains to be seen if he can fix his other big weakness during his time at Milan, consistency.
