Although Gonzalo Higuain started talking about his imminent retirement for a while, his father's phrase surprised everyone in football: “It ends this year, he told me that withdraws from sport.” The news was replied yesterday and Pipita had to go out to clarify their situation in the official MLS account.
“It was a misunderstanding he had for me. I never told him about retirement. He expressed himself badly, it can happen. It has nothing to do with reality. I'm focused on the club, on fulfilling the contract. When the time comes, if that decision is made, it will be me who communicates it, nothing but me. What my dad or other people might say in this case has nothing to do with what I can say,” Gonzalo said.
The Inter Miami midfielder intends to raise his head as soon as possible after a weak start in MLS with his own: after a goalless draw in the debut, they fell in the other four presentations and are co-lists in the Eastern Conferences. “When the time comes, I will be the first to communicate it, the first to say it. Right now I have my head in this club and on fulfilling the contract,” added the 34-year-old attacker who has been two goals so far this season.
“It's close to stopping playing, but it's not what I have in my head now. In my head now I have to fulfill what is left of my contract and at the end of the year it will be seen how I feel. I'll sit down with the club to see what the best decision is. My decision is to focus on doing a great season this year,” was the last comment from Higuain, who has a link to the Florida franchise until December.
It is not clear whether former Juventus, Napoli and Argentina will continue in Inter Miami beyond 2022, although the truth is that the footballer himself clarified that he is away from football once he decides to hang up his boots: “It will be far from football, clearly. Far away. I'm going to enjoy it until I play it, but then it's not close. It's a very bad pollution. It's not pain or annoyance, I feel like it's not the world I want to be in.”
His father, on the other hand, said: “I would love for him to remain linked from another role because he is a boy who is hyper-prepared. You can tell him about football about any country in the world and he knows everything. He was led by the best coaches in the world, he was accompanied by the best leaders in the world, so he is a guy who can have terrible post-football management skills.”
