The Argentine striker recalled his performance in defining the title of the competition in which he failed a one-on-one against the exit of Claudio Bravo which could mean the opening of the account.
For Chile, the Copa América Centenario brings back good memories. La Roja were once again winners on penalties against Argentina, which gave the Golden Generation the bi-league of the competition.
However, on the other side of the Albiceleste, this situation recalls an example of pain for having lost the opportunity to lift a trophy with Lionel Messi which could only be won in the 2021 Brazilian Cup.
This situation haunts the mind of Gonzalo Higuain who in an interview with TYC Sports revealed that one of the games he suffered the most was in the definition of the title against Argentina in the United States.
After being consulted on the most criticized piece, he commented that it was “that of Chile, in the United States. I went 20 meters hand in hand with the goalkeeper (Claudio Bravo), but when the striker has a lot of time it’s worse, it’s better to define quickly . That of Germany (in Brazil 2014) falls on my back. I thought about hitting her, then arresting her, that was a surprise. And that of Chile (Copa América 2015), the angle was very closed. Yes, I would have liked them to end differently, but the one in the United States is perhaps the most… which I have not defined badly either (…), but it is football and these things happen ”.
He also chose three coaches who marked him in his career. “Alejandro Sabella, Manuel Pelegrini and Maurizio Sarri were the best. Worse? walk ”.
Of course, for Diego Maradona, it must be left elsewhere. “We leave Diego aside. Maradona is special to me. The first who banked me, supported me, consolidated me in the national team. I will be eternally grateful for making me experience this and sharing it with him”.
Regarding his record with the Argentina team, he stressed that “today the needle does not move me if they value me or not, I leave that to the discretion of others. I know they’ve had exaggerated comments and messages at times, but I don’t hold a grudge against anyone. I love Argentina and I love my country ”.
“Being, pleasure and harmony, with all the load that came from outside, it was more difficult, but we still reached the final. Imagine the mental strength of this team,” he added.
