I love football, I loved it and I will always love it, but lately I’ve been liking it less to see it because today technology, small spaces and two-touch play have taken away the dribble , having one against one and all that talent is being lost ”, he explained.

Gonzalo Higuaín has been punished during his career for Failing at crucial moments with the Argentina team. Very specific plays that have erased him from the albiceleste. The “Pipe” has more than 250 international goals in addition to 14 Titles.
