“I said that I lived 15 years unnaturally. People think that we have an easy and ready life, and no, not at all”, Higuaín declared before the microphones in a great moment of form, since he has scored 13 goals in 25 matches leading his team very close to qualifying for the playoffs.
“We do not have the same right that you go down the street, they insult you and you can’t react, because if you do, the repercussion is double. If you lose a game, miss a goal or lose an important game, you can’t go outside. The soccer player lives conditioned by a result. It is a sport, a job, and it should not be confused. we are all human“, he assured the aforementioned medium
“It seems very unfair to me to have lived 15 years in the elite and not have been able to react to moments that I had to bow my head to insults and disrespect. At this point in my life I can’t tolerate it anymore. Humanly, I grew a lot thanks to my family and friends. I am in one of the best moments of my life“He ruled on this matter.
