Sport category: Klaas Jan Huntelaar Huntelaar has appetite for honours

Klaas Jan Huntelaar is already looking forward to winning 'as many trophies as possible' next season after crowning a majestic personal campaign with a match-winning performance in the final of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
Magnificent
Huntelaar scored twice - the first one 'magnificent' according to coach Foppe de Haan - before Nicky Hofs added a third in stoppage time as the Netherlands sealed a first title at this level by seeing off Ukraine 3-0 in Porto. The 22-year-old's second, a penalty, saw him overtake Thomas Kahlenberg as the competition's most prolific scorer and provided him with a commendable double after his ten goals also saw him top the charts in qualifying.
First honour
Having left SC Heerenveen for AFC Ajax in a €9m winter transfer, Huntelaar finished as the Eredivisie's 33-goal leading marksman and also collected a Dutch Cup winners' medal after getting both goals in the final defeat of PSV Eindhoven. Last night's triumph eclipses both those honours, however, as it is the Netherlands' first trophy at any level since they ruled Europe in 1988. 'This is a great feeling,' Huntelaar said as he collected his man-of-the match award.
Great experience
'It's been an amazing season but it comes to an end now as we're all off on holiday,' continued the forward. 'Then another one starts and I want to win as many prizes as possible. It's been a great experience here because we've grown as a team during the tournament after making a bad start. We played well in the first half, were comfortable at the back and pushed the ball forward at the right time from midfield.
