Gonzalo Higuain is one of the privileged people who had the honor of having shared the same team with Lionel Messi Y Cristiano Ronaldo, two of the best players of the last decades and stressed that he was the one who best understood each other both in the Argentine national team like in the Juventus Y Real Madrid.
“If I was the footballer who played the most with both of them, then I was the one who understood the two the most. Understand Cristiano and understand Messi …, the problem is not theirs, the problem is yours. If I was the one who played with them the most, it is because I understood to perfection both of them, “the Pipita Higuaín in an interview published in the newspaper The nation.
Higuaín, from 33 years, currently plays for Inter Miami in Major League Soccer (MLS) and has played for great teams in the world, being also one of the Argentines with the most goals in the league. A league from Italy (167) and in the Real Madrid (121).
“I knew what they liked, what they didn’t like, how they felt more comfortable, how they felt more uncomfortable … And I think they liked me that I didn’t want to play 100% of the balls with them. So they felt that they could also lean on me. When they have a player next to them who relies 100% on them, they do not feel detached from all responsibilities. On the other hand, I think that with me they did have the feeling that they could lean on me. They are two totally different players, and I had the privilege of enjoying and learning from both of them, “explained Higuaín.
Why Higuaín is not valued in Argentina
As for the criticism he receives from some Argentine fans about his time in the National Team, Higuain believes that over time will be valued enough. Both he and the entire team that was close to becoming world champion in Brazil.
“I think everything will settle down over time, that it will cost an egg to get to a final of the world again. It’s not easy, you don’t go to a World Cup and you play it. Over time they will value more what I did, I have no doubt, but none. But it is still recent, time will have to pass and it will be valued. After three World Cups, I scored goals in two knockout stages: Mexico, in South Africa 2010, and Belgium, in Brazil 2014, “said the Pipita.
