First, Benzema counterattacked, then gave way to Ronaldo, and delayed Messi. The Serie A Golden Boot was born at the wrong time

At a friend's request, let's talk about Argentine striker Higuain, this Serie A Golden Boot who was born at the wrong time.

Gonzalo Gerardo Higuain was born on December 10, 1987 in Brest, Phoenix, Brittany, France. He was born here because his father, Jorge Higuain, was playing for the Brest Club at the time. However, he did not live in Brest for a long time, only 10 months, and returned to Pampas with his family. It is not surprising that Higuain embarked on the road to football with a father who is a professional player. As early as 2005, Higuain appeared on the stage of the Argentine League in a riverbed. Not long after, he scored twice in the focus battle against Boca in River Plate, opening his name in one fell swoop, attracting the attention of many European clubs. The old La Liga giant Real Madrid took the fastest move, and brought Higuain to the Bernabeu Stadium in the winter window of the 2006-07 season.

Higuain adapted very quickly and entered Real Madrid's rotation lineup when he first arrived. By the time of the 2008-09 season, Higuain firmly sat in the main seat of Real Madrid and paid a gorgeous data sheet of 22 goals and 12 assists.

At this time, Higuain was only twenty-one or two years old, and no matter how he looked at it, he had a bright future. Logically speaking, if Real Madrid has such an excellent super newcomer in the forward position, then Real Madrid does not need to sign ups in the forward position. However, in the summer of 2009, Real Madrid held a new election, and Florentino once again took over the Bernabeu, which not only brought a new team-building idea, but also introduced strong aids such as Ronaldo and Benzema.

Benzema and Higuain are both forwards in the Indian Empire and are destined to compete. After all, Higuain came early and was already familiar with the pace of La Liga, so there was no problem of adapting. Poor Benzema is a newcomer and has not yet adapted to the new environment. He has to compete with Higuain. The chances of winning are too low. The result was that the 2009-10 season, which was the first season between Benzema and Higuain, ended with Higuain's overall suppression of Benzema. Over the whole season, Benzema only scored 8 league goals, while Higuain scored 27 goals, which was simply too obvious.

In the summer of 2010, Mourinho entered the Bernabeu. In the early days when Mourinho took over Real Madrid's coaching stick, Uncle Bird prefers to use Higuain. During Higuain's unfortunate injury, Uncle Bird once threw out the "cat and dog theory": "If you go out hunting, you should bring a hunting dog (Higuain), but you only have a cat (Benzema) around you, so you can only take the cat out."

However, Benzema is Benzema after all. As the French striker becomes more and more familiar with the pace of La Liga, his performance on the court is getting better and better. Also, Benzema has a strong ability to support and is willing to play football for his teammates. So for Ronaldo, Benzema is undoubtedly a more suitable partner for him.

In contrast, Higuain does not match Ronaldo very well. Because of Ronaldo's technical characteristics, this Portuguese superstar does not need to compete with him for space, but needs a center who is good at supporting and can take away defensive players.

C Ronaldo is at its peak at this stage and is recognized as a top superstar in football. Real Madrid naturally has to consider Ronaldo's experience. As a result, Higuain was counterattacked by Benzema, not only handing over his main seat, but also ending his Real Madrid career.

In the summer of 2013, Higuain waved goodbye to the Bernabeu and transferred to Naples. With his strength, he can not only firmly sit in the main seat in Naples, but also pay extremely efficient data sheets. As for his best season, it was in the 2015-16 season, when Higuain paid a data sheet of 36 goals in 35 league games, winning the Serie A Golden Boot without any suspense. In the summer of 2016, Juventus spent 90 million euros of real money, which led to Higuain's command. The Serie A Golden Boot has also successfully proved his worth. He opened fire in the 2016-17 season and scored 24 league goals. As for the 2017-18 season, Higuain continued his outstanding performance, helping his new owner dominate the Serie A and won the Italian Cup.

Higuain's performance is definitely worthy of Juventus' main seat. However, in the summer of 2018, the Zebra Legion spent a huge amount of money to introduce Ronaldo. These two have been proven to be incompatible while they were partnering with Real Madrid. So after Ronaldo joined Juventus, Higuain had to give way to Ronaldo and went to Milan as a loan player.

Higuain's performance was still very reliable in the early days of playing for Milan. However, in the 12th round of the Serie A League match against his old club Juventus, Higuain failed to control his emotions and received a red card. No one expected that this game would become a turning point in Higuain's Milan career. In the winter window of the 2018-19 season, Higuain was sublease to Chelsea by Juventus, and his performance did not meet expectations. Since then, Higuain was disheartened and could no longer find the feeling of playing at his peak. By 2020, Higuain went to the American League to make gold and announced that he would hang up his boots in 2022.

After talking about Higuain's club career, let's talk about his national team years. Originally, Higuain had the chance to be selected for the French national team, and Domeneck once issued a call to Higuain. However, Higuain did not accept the invitation from the French team, but chose Argentina.

In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Higuain was selected into the Argentina roster without any suspense and was entrusted with important tasks by Maradona. It’s a pity that the great Maradona was in the player era, the bad Maradona was in the coach era. Under his command, Argentina, with star-studded people, could not see any hope of winning the championship.

When the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Argentina finally welcomed a reliable coach, and Higuain continued to be entrusted with important tasks. Higuain's contribution to the Pampas Eagles's ability to enter the finals. However, in the crucial World Cup final, Higuain wasted the opportunity to score a single goal, which directly delayed Argentina and Messi.

However, this is just the beginning. When the 2015 Copa America final, Higuain also got a good chance to score, but he kicked the ball on the sidelines, which led to Argentina's failure to return in the penalty shootout.

There is also the 2016 Copa America final, Higuain once again got a one-on-one chance, and his opponent is also the famous "Regent" Bravo. The result was that Higuain picked the ball past Bravo, but the ball flew out of the baseline against the post, and Argentina fell in the penalty shootout again.

Messi was really delayed when he had such a teammate. If Higuain's performance in these three finals, especially the World Cup finals, was a little more reliable, Messi would have won the Hercules Cup.

Looking at Higuain's career, his skills are unquestionable and he definitely reaches the starting level of a giant's team. Unfortunately, this player was born at the wrong time and was first counterattacked by Benzema, then gave way to Ronaldo, and delayed Messi, which not only affected his development, but also affected his reputation...
