Higuain interview
The same Higuain gave a long interview to the microphones of Goal.comalso speaking of his controversial adventure at Naples:
“The team where I played the longest was Real Madrid, then I played four years at Juve, three years at Napoli, then six months at Milan, six months at Chelsea. a club, I can say Real Madrid, Napoli, Juve for the mutual affection that binds me to these squares I have had good times in all the clubs where I have played and also with the national team.
I probably don’t have the same connection my brother has to Columbus, because I didn’t want to spend so much time in a club. I wanted to move, try different things, challenge myself by playing for different clubs and show what I could do anywhere and be able to win anywhere. Federico has an incredible bond with Columbus, but my approach to football was different “
Higuain on Napoli
“Those are impossible moments to forget. It is one of the best sensations you can experience as a player, that is to hear a stadium full of people screaming your name after a goal: I get goosebumps thinking about it today. But it can also happen. Quite the contrary. Not all is good in football. One day 60,000 people are shouting your name. A fortnight later, they might insult you.
Things change fast in football. Very quickly. So over time I have tried to learn that praise does not take me too high and criticism does not take me too low “.
Higuain and the post-retreat
“At the moment I’m not thinking about it, but this championship and this country have made me learn and understand how I can enjoy everything that I was not able to do before. I love my daughter and my wife. My life revolves around them. They are the ones who are with me for better or for worse.
As for other activities, I would like to maybe explore cooking or maybe play guitar or learn English, but I have no intention of staying in football, at least in the short term. It’s a world that becomes more and more toxic every day and I don’t see myself in football once I stop playing. “
I want to be very far from sports. Yes, I will watch it, but I know what I experienced. I think it’s just a world that I don’t belong to as much as I thought I belonged initially. I want to open my mind after football and enjoy my family and my life “.
