MilanNews spoke to Norwegian journalist Elisabeth Knapstad Angioni about Hauge and his transfer to Germany, starting with an assessment on why he did not end up getting much playing time last season.
“We who follow Norwegian players who play around Europe are also wondering what the reason is, and I honestly don’t know. At the beginning as soon as he arrived they had made him play and he had also scored a few goals in the Europa League, but then in the last 9 league games he always remained on the bench, moreover after scoring against Sampdoria,” she said.
“It’s a shame, but I can’t tell you what the main reason for his poor use is.However, it is essential for him to play, as Norway coach Stale Solbakken also said, before the start of the European Championships in the matches in which Hauge was called up.
As a last question, was there a poor feeling between the Milan coach, Stefano Pioli, and Hauge?
“I can’t evaluate this because I don’t have the right information, but it might as well be. He is young, he comes from a Norwegian village of 50,000 inhabitants and probably has not been able to impose himself on Milan. Maybe the language also influenced, although I know that Zlatan Ibrahimovic helped him translate as Norwegian and Swedish are similar as languages. To establish himself properly, he needs to play and experience, since he is a rather shy boy anyway.”
