Capello: Higuain ideal for Juve
Posted Sunday, May 20, 2012 by ESPN
Former Real Madrid manager Fabio Capello has urged Juventus to buy Gonzalo Higuain.
Although Higuain's goals played their part in Real Madrid's La Liga win this season, he has more often than not found himself second in the pecking order behind team-mate Karim Benzema. Several clubs around Europe are looking to take advantage of this lack of playing time to tempt Higuain into a transfer. Having managed both Los Blancos and Juventus previously, Capello believes the Argentinean is ideally suited to the Serie A champions style of play.
"Higuain is ideal for the game Juventus play, Gonzalo is a player who works hard for the team. He never stands still waiting for the ball, instead he goes looking for it, works back and harasses defenders when they have the ball," he said to Tuttosport.
"Then, in front of goal he is very good: he is a born striker. Just look at his scoring record."
Higuain was one of the players the Italian managed during his time at Real, and Capello has nothing but praise for the striker's character.
"From the point of view of character, he is a great guy. He works hard and has a fantastic attitude." he shared.
"In that first season in Europe he was always the first to turn up to training, and was not scared of fighting for a place in the team,"
Los Blancos club captain Iker Casillas recently predicted that Higuain will remain at the Spanish side, despite attention from other clubs.
