Looking at both the present and the future, Gonzalo Higuain has his eyes firmly fixed on Juve, to the season that awaits him. However, it can't be helped but to quickly look back on the events of a few days ago: Juventus-Napoli: "Against Napoli it was a game of strong emotions - he says - After starting well, we had a dip in physical and mental energy. They made us suffer, and although the ending was unlucky for them, it was a deserved victory for us."
Pipita added: "I am here to prove my worth, I wanted to stay from the first day I returned. I am happy to be at Juve, at a big club with a great team and a big fan base, in a city that I know." Gonzalo then reveals a the background behind his new shirt number, going from his old number 9 to number 21: "This is a decision that I made: I decided to swap from number 9, although it was available, with the day in which my daughter was born, to take her with me in every game - a choice of the heart, which is bringing me luck."
"I don't think about the past, I only have the present and the future in mind. It will be an important season, last year was difficult for me but I still went into double figures and won a Europa League title. Now I only think of our season: I have good memories against Fiorentina, I made my Bianconeri debut against them. It's never easy at the Franchi, but we must be strong as we know we are and take home the victory. I'm back on the same team as Cris (Ronaldo) after a few years and he's even stronger, more complete and ambitious, I'm happy to play with him again."
BELIEF IN OURSELVES
"Our main league rivals? Ourselves. We must believe in ourselves and grow day by day. It's great then to return to play in the great competition that is the Champions League, with our great team."
