Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini was pleased with Mateo Kovacic's performance in their 0-0 draw against AC Milan.
Kovacic was fielded in a wide role.
Mancini said: "I thought he did well tonight. Being so young, he needs to learn the timing of when to go, when to stick, when to pass and when to run. This will come with time.
"He has the talent to play in many different roles, so if we are lacking certain figures then he can fill in."
