Gonzalo Higuain was more than 10 years playing in the European elite, in clubs like the Real Madrid, Naples, Juventus, Chelsea O AC Milan, A step that was full of praise, but also criticism, also at the level of the Selection of Argentina, Remembering that in his time he was the best ‘9’ until that terrible failure against Germany in the Final of the Brazil World Cup 2014.
the Tube he touched on the subject when asked about what he would advise Lautaro Martinez, In front of the among others which brings all the praise in Argentina, But he thinks that if something bad happens to him like him they will end up ‘killing’ him.
“First I would tell him to be calm. For now, for Lautaro they are all pampering in the selection. That is what happened to me until the German final. Until 2014 I was the best number 9 in the world, i after Germany it was all over. Until then, he had scored nine goals in the playoffs, something no one says, because let’s not forget you have to score goals in the playoffs to get to a World Cup.
“Now it ‘s all pink with him … I Lautaro, And Lautaro, and Lautaro …, but the time may come, maybe in a World Cup or one America’s Cup, That touches the misfortune of err 1 key goal, and already Lautaro is no longer Lautaro. It doesn’t work anymore, and that and that. I would tell him, then, that you don’t have to believe the best or believe the worst, “he said in an interview with La Nación.
Higuain he believes that time will do him justice and they will value him in his country, But at first it stands out that he has been the only player he has best associated with Lionel Messi i Cristiano Ronaldo, With whom it agreed in the albiceleste and in the Real Madrid i Juventus, Respectively.
“If I was the footballer who played the most with the two of them, then I was the one who understood them both the most. Christian and understand a Messi…, the problem is not theirs, the problem is yours. He knew what they liked, what they didn’t like, how they felt more comfortable, how they felt more uncomfortable. Then they felt they could support me too. When they have a player on the side who is 100% supported in them, they don’t feel detached from all responsibilities. They are two totally different players, and I had the privilege of enjoying and learning from both of them, ”he added.
Higuain lives without pressure in MLS
In 2020 he signed for Inter Miami after his time at Juve, a move he was already looking for, since he intended to get out of all the pressure that meant playing in the elite, Both the fan claim and the press, which made him notice until he changed his look.
“The other day I thought about everything that was left behind, the years of demands, of responsibilities, of changes of countries, of removals, that, like it or not, destabilize your head. Now I feel very happy because I got the that I wanted, that it was to get out of this bubble of pressures, of demands, that the press was talking about me at all times, about the harassment of the fans … Here football is not a priority, there are other sports that carry these pressures.
“The league is growing and will continue to grow. But here, people on the streets don’t judge you because you erred or scored a goal, Don’t judge you if you were kicked out or not kicked out. And the same goes for the press. So, live quietly. Something I was looking for. I am very happy because I am happy. Happy with the decision I made, ”he commented.
