It's impossible but it's instinct and natural. He did it in Norway, Austria, and Germany — you don't have to say anything. He just moves like he smells it. He further said, "When he arrived we never spoke about how many goals. It's just the deflection and he was there. Why does the ball go to where he is? This is an incredible instinct. What can I teach him about being here or there."
