Having said that, we missed 3-4 very good chances in the 1st half. Diaz and Rebic come to mind.
The 2nd half was even scrappier then the first...if that was even possible.  But we got the win. We got 3 points. It's what matters. Everyone is waiting for this team to drop off. But look at it. No Ibra. No Kjaer. No Bennacer. No Leao. Yet we fight. And we win.
I hate when we play at the Ferraris. Especially in the winter. The stadium almost always has terrible grass. In the winter, it's even worse. Always gives me bad vibes. So getting out of that place with 3 points is awesome.
It doesnt wonder me why la bella Italia doesnt get the organization of a major tournament since 1990. Italian stadia are like potato fields

Ranieri is the opposite to Gasperini, in Italy. Everyone loves Ranieri. Everyone hates Gasperini.

On the individuell play, Hauge is more creative and a better passer of the ball with greater teqnique. Rebic on the other hand is a pure physichal machine with great pace, strength, and work capacity. Two choose between them will depend on the match and the opponent i think. But we are lucky to have som much talent on the left .
I think the big advantage Hauge has is that he's massively confident in his own abilities. Rebic is great, but he can be a bit moody, whereas Hauge doesn't let his head drop. In an interview the other day he said that he thinks it's "only natural" that he starts getting more time as a starter for Milan, which is pretty impressive considering where he came from, how young he is and how little time he's actually been at the club. His defensive work rate is also great, and you can tell he has an eye for creating spaces and finding his team mates with through balls (as we saw with Diaz on Thursday and Rebic/Castillejo yesterday). Right now he's got Leao and Rebic ahead of him in the fight for a starting position on the left wing, but to be honest I'm not sure how long that will last if he keeps improving like this. My feeling is that we've found a real gem in this guy, he can be a top level international player. The problem is that so can Leao, which means that Pioli has a dilemma to deal with.

I actually prefer to play Leao in Ibra position. Leao can be a bit frustrating to watch playing as LW, I prefer Rebic or Hauge. Both are different players but offer a lot. Leao on the other hand try to dribble too much as LW but is very effective playing as a forward as he has good pace and strike the ball confidently. He is the best backup for Ibra not Rebic. Rebic playing as a forward keep assisting but cannot score...
Hauge in milan is not as confident, he hesitate sometimes. Just like Rebic as forward, he hesitate whether to shoot or pass the ball. If they are more confident, we would have won the recent matches more comfortably.

Leao is our striker. Ibra is old, Leao will be Ibra substitute. This make room for Rebic as left winger and Hauge as sub. If all fit, Leao could be played as right winger. Should not be a problem for Pioli.

Totally agree with this post. Leao is too wasteful on the left flank. He dribbles too much. When he plays striker he has to be more efficient, but his position has been superb. The goal against Spezia was an example. I dunno, but Leao reminds me of Balotelli actually.
