Higuain: ‘The more they make jokes about my weight, the more I score goals’. Buffon and Dybala...
Are you upset for jokes about your weight?
“Not at all. Actually I hope I am going to hear these jokes before each game, so I am going to score every time. I don’t care about criticisms I’ve never had doubts about my qualities.”
How are you?
“I am ok, I’ve been training for the last twenty days now and I can improve. I can always improve, that’s what I want to do. I am super-happy here at Juventus, I sure I made the right choice. It was not easy, but it was the right one.”
What a night last Saturday: debut and goal.
“Everyone dreams of having these kind of debuts. I am happy for everyone, me, my teammates and fans”
How did you celebrate the victory?
“We celebrated in the dressing room because that was an important victory. It is important to begin the campaign with three points, but we know there are still 37 games left and we have to be calm. This club is very well organized, we are a great team with a winning mentality.”
Are you going to start against Lazio or do you still need time?
“I don’t take this decisions, against Fiorentina I just tried to do the best for the team”
What about your relationship with Mandzukic?
“It’s great, amazing, like with the rest of my teammates. That’s how you win trophies at the end of the season.”
Buffuon usually welcomes new players with motivational speeches. What did he told you?
“That he was happy that I’ve joined the team, but everyone has welcomed me very well. Dybala is an amazing player he likes to take get the ball in deep position and that’s one more reason why we are compatible. He’ll become a great player, it’s a pleasure to play alongside him.”
It is also a privilege to train with the best defenders “That’s absolutely positive, that makes me even more self-confident at the end of the day.”
