Higuain slams Italian paper after Champions League goal

28 set 2017

Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain scored the opener for the Old Lady yesterday night helping his side to seal a crucial 2-0 win against Olympiakos. The Argentinean told Premium Sport at the end of the game: “I wasn’t nervous, I’ve been playing in Europe for 11 years, I’ve always scored goals. I was not worried by criticisms. I have self-confidence and I knew I have the qualities. I want to thank people who supported me, they weren’t much when things were not going the right way."

"This goal is for all Juventus fans, when I entered the pitch they supported me and I am grateful to them.”
Higuain scored his first goal in Champions League this season and his third in all competitions so far in this campaign.

“I lived one of the best moment of my career tonight [yesterday]. The best thing of football is to be with an empty mind and with no stress, that’s the best way to work. It is a god sign I was criticized after two games with no goals, means people are well-accustomed.

The Argentinean did also slam Tuttosport who criticized him a few days ago. This mornings’ headline of the Turin-based paper, however, was Golzalo. “They change idea pretty quickly – Higuain said – yesterday they asked if there was this space for me here at Juve, but it doesn’t matter.”
