AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli was delighted with goalscorer Jens Petter Hauge after victory over Europa League opponents Sparta Prague.
The result sees Milan finish group winners.
Pioli said, "When we met Hauge as an opponent, he already proved what he could do, so we hoped he'd continue that form with us. He's not yet complete, so can improve even more, and we're very happy with his performances.
“I think his best skill is the one-on-one. He's quicker on the ball than off it, but I think he needs to alternate and do better at running beyond the defender to get the ball. He can't always just take men on.
“He has many areas in which to improve, such as his focus in defence throughout the 90 minutes, but we had seen his qualities and the club did very well to sign such an interesting prospect."
Pioli also paid tribute to Paolo Rossi, who passed away on Thursday.
“This is a very sad day for me, as I played with Paolo Rossi when I was just a young kid who had arrived at Juventus. He was also a lovely person, so kind, generous and welcoming. I can only send my condolences to his family.
“He was always the first to help you out, always smiling, determined and happy. I think the two most important elements in our line of work are determination and feeling at peace with yourself, and he had those in abundance.
“Rossi won the World Cup, the Ballon d'Or, but he remained humble and embraced the simple things in life."
