Higuain: ‘Juventus teach you to win’

By Football Italia staff

Gonzalo Higuain says Juventus are like Real Madrid as “they teach you to win”.

The striker played for Los Blancos before moving to Napoli, and completed a move to Turin in the summer.

“Juve are like Real Madrid, they’re teams which teach you to win,” Higuain said on Radio Onda Cero.

“However, the fans aren’t as demanding as at Real, it’s not in the culture of Juventus fans to whistle their own players.

“The fact that the team sought me out and paid such a high clause [€90m] can only make me proud.”

The Bianconeri face Porto in the Last 16 of the Champions League, where Higuain will face former teammate Iker Casillas.

“If there was the chance to take a penalty against Casillas, I’d hit it. It’s nice to score goals against the best.

“Real Madrid-Napoli? I have a lot of affection for both. Of course [Maurizio] Sarri’s team is changing and trying to improve.

“I have friends on both sides, may the best team win.”
