*Hauge is a left winger. Can you see him make an impact from the right wing as well?*
Jonas: “I believe he can do a good job there as well. But I mostly think that Jens Petter Hauge’s big strength has been his unpredictability.
As he’s right-footed on the left-wing, the defenders have a hard time knowing if he’s going to cut inside and shot/pass or advance towards the byline and put a cross in.
Hypothetically, Hauge together with Zlatan, who’s one of the best in the world, certainly better than Kasper Junker and Victor Boniface at Bodø, could be truly fantastical.
“What will be interesting to see is how Jens Petter Hauge will be deployed. To be effective, I think that he needs to have a lot of ball, to feel it, to have contact with it, to feel part of the game.
“At Bodø, he’s tended to drop deep to collect ball to feel it and connect with his teammates, I don’t know if he’ll have that freedom at Milan because they already have very dominant midfielders on the ball in Ismaël Bennacer and Sandro Tonali, to name two. And Zlatan also likes to drop down to get the ball.
So I’m not sure it will be the same at Milan, but he’s had that freedom at Bodø/Glimt at it’s worked out brilliantly – and I think Milan has seen that and are aware of it.”
