Boateng, who is currently in his second spell at San Siro after signing a 6-month contract with\u00a0the club, is determined to restore his team&#8217;s confidence in the quest for a European place in the Serie A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"module module-ad fresh8-footer-widget\">\n<h2>An award<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>After a few days\u00a0after the start of his contract, Boateng received an award from the club&#8217;s CEO, Adriano Galliani, for reaching the milestone of 100 appearances for the team. Galliani praised Boateng and recalled his re-signing with AC Milan:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I was at Forte Dei Marmi, and while I was chatting away with Genoa President Preziosi about the 2010 World Cup, he told me that he had signed Boateng, who was a player that I was very impressed with during his performances with Ghana. In just 10 minutes, we were able to agree a move from Genoa to Milan. He started his adventure with us on the 28th of August 2010 in Milan-Lecce, a match that ended 4-0 to us, and three years later on the 28th of August 2013 he played his last match of his first spell against PSV Eindhoven and scored twice [&#8230;] He then left and so this award has been waiting for him for the past two years! We\u2019re very pleased to have him and I think he is also very happy. You\u2019ve finally come back and so I wish you all the best and I hope you can receive more of these awards in the future.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With humility, Boateng said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am very happy and I hope to make another 100 appearances, but this is a decision for the coach.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13600\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13600\" style=\"width: 708px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-13600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/cy2yng8wyaevxkh.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"708\" height=\"944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/cy2yng8wyaevxkh.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/cy2yng8wyaevxkh-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/cy2yng8wyaevxkh-85x113.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13600\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/CY2YNg8WYAEVxkh.jpg\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>A &#8220;perfect day&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>The day after receiving the award, Boateng scored a sumptuous\u00a0comeback goal. Moments after he came on the field for Mbaye Niang, the Ghanaian player beat Tatarusanu to a long pass from Juraj Kucha, circled the goalkeeper and scored from 12 yards. This goal helped AC Milan\u00a0beat Fiorentina 2-0. This victory eased the pressure on Milan coach Mihalovic, whose team was in a losing streak. Boateng, who seems to be bringing hope and a breeze of fresh air to a struggling AC Milan team dedicated his goal to the team&#8217;s coach:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This was a perfect day. There&#8217;s nothing better than scoring at San Siro [&#8230;] This is a victory for Mihajlovic and all the Milanisti,&#8221; Boateng said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fans have yet to see the Boateng who helped the club to a Serie A title in 2011, however, he\u00a0is\u00a0progressively convincing his strongest detractors.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13599\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13599\" style=\"width: 713px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-13599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/screen-shot-2016-01-22-at-12-49-40-am.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"713\" height=\"497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/screen-shot-2016-01-22-at-12-49-40-am.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/screen-shot-2016-01-22-at-12-49-40-am-85x59.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 713px) 100vw, 713px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13599\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BAr2EXFzVFX\/?taken-by=prince09_\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Watch his goal in the video below:<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kevin Prince Boateng vs Fiorentina (Home) 17\/01\/2016 HD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_2u-76638kU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/11-of-the-greatest-african-football-players-of-all-time\">SEE ALSO:\u00a011 Of The Greatest African Football Players Of All Time.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghana midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng is having a great start with AC Milan.
