It will not be the people who take their frustration on me that will influence me. On the contrary, they make me laugh”, he debut Higuain. “The footballer receives more criticism than praise. It was a moment in my life that I suffered, but when you adapt, it is not that you become impervious to criticism, because it always hurts, but in another way.

Here if we play at home we arrive two hours before the game, my daughter can take the field with my wife … there are fewer rules, everything is more natural. You seem to play soccer on the weekends and relax during the week. It’s a very nice championship to play and it allows you to be happy off the pitch too. “

I feel better, I know the league better and the fans deserve to be happy because they always come to the stadium, they support us and it is a way to reward the effort they make. “
