Gonzalo Higuain played in the European elite for over 10 years, in clubs such as Real Madrid Naples Juventus Chelsea O AC Milan, a step that was full of praise, but also criticism, also at the level of the Argentina national team, remember that in his day he was the best ‘9’ until that terrible failure against Germany at the end of Brazil 2014 World Cup
The Pipe brought up the topic when they asked him what he would advise Lautaro Martinez, ahead of below who gets all the accolades Argentina, but He believes if they touch an accident like him they will eventually ‘kill’
‘First I would tell you to be calm. For now, for Lautaro, they are all being pampered in the national team. That happened to me until the final in Germany. Until 2014 I was the best number 9 in the world, Y after Germany it is all overUntil then, he had scored nine goals in the qualifying rounds, which is something no one says, because let’s not forget that you have to score in the qualifying rounds to make it to a World Cup.
‘Now it’s all rosy with him … And Lautaro, and Lautaro, and Lautaro …, but the time may come, maybe in a World Cup or in one America Cup, where you are unlucky miss an important goal, and Lautaro is no longer LautaroIt doesn’t work anymore, and this and that. I would tell him that you don’t have to believe the best in yourself or believe the worst, ‘he said in an interview with La Nación.
Higuain He believes that time will do him justice and that he will be appreciated in his country, but for now he insists he’s the only player he’s best associated with Lionel Messi Y Cristiano Ronaldo, with whom he coincided in the albiceleste and in the Real Madrid Y Juventus, respectively.
“If I was the footballer who played the most with both of them, then I was the one who understood them the most. To understand Cristiano and understand Messi the problem is not with them, it is with youI knew what they liked, what they didn’t like, how they felt most comfortable, how they felt most uncomfortable. So they felt they could rely on me too. When they have a player at their side who trusts 100% on them, they don’t feel detached from all responsibilities. They are two completely different players, and I had the privilege of enjoying and learning from both, ”he added.
Higuain lives without pressure in the MLS
In 2020 he signed on for it Inter Miami after his time at Juve, a move he had been looking for ever since I wanted to get away from all the pressure that playing on the elite meant, both from the claims of fans and the press, which made him stand out even when he changed his appearance.
“The other day I thought about all that was left behind, the years of demands, responsibilities, land changes, relocations that, like it or not, destabilize your head. Now I feel very happy because I achieved what I wanted, which was to get out of that bubble of pressure, demand, that the press was always talking about me, about the intimidation of the fans … Football is not a priority here, there are other sports that take that pressure on
“The competition is growing and will continue to grow. But here, people on the street don’t judge you because you missed or scored a goal, does not judge whether you have been fired or not. And the same happens with the press. So I live calmly. Something I was looking for. I am very happy because I am happy. Happy with the decision I made, ”he said.
