Real Madrid is angry with Gonzalo Higuain

"I go. I want a change of scenery" were the Higuain's statements just after beating Osasuna in the final match of the season of Real Madrid. Argentinian's statements ran like wildfire and reached the office area of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. It was like a shot. 'Pipita' made public his desire to leave the white team something that was an open secret, but the club has not liked anything. "It is the wrong strategy. He is a player with contract so we expect the father of the player or his agent give us an explanation," some said from the club.

Gonzalo Higuain

In Real Madrid, some people understand that Higuain has tried to force the situation, speed up negotiations to resolve his future as soon as possible. But the club has decided that is not going to give him away. Real Madrid would have preferred to take the situation more discretion but Higuain has set himself on the market and white club believes that he has done wrong. The truth is that Higuain is experiencing difficult times. Against Osasuna, in his last game for Madrid, did not celebrate the goal he scored, like a week before against Real Sociedad. Gonzalo Higuain has not had the desired farewell what he deserved after seven years in the white team.

Real Madrid 5 - 2 Mallorca (Spanish League, Day 28)

Real Madrid, despite being behind on the scoreboard on two occasions against Mallorca, sealed their seventh consecutive victory before the international break. The win was sealed in six fantastic minutes in the second half. They reached half time a goal down after goals from Nsue and Alfaro for Mallorca and Higuaín for Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a header from an Özil corner, Modric, who scored the game’s master piece with a strike from the penalty arc that rocketed into the net of the goal defended by Aouate, and Higuaín, who scored twice in his 250th official game for the Whites, decided the clash between the fifty-first and fifty-seventh minute. Benzema scored the fifth in added time. Real Madrid enjoyed themselves and put on a spectacle for the Santiago Bernabeu.

Comeback with three goals in six minutes

Real Madrid returned to the Bernabeu 14 days after their last home game intent on achieving their seventh consecutive victory before the international break. The matter was complicated six minutes into the match. A cross by Giovani from the left wing was met by the head of Nsue. The cross gained speed after the header and Diego Lopez’s stretch could not prevent Mallorca taking the lead. The visitors surprised Madrid with their first shot on goal and now Madrid had to come from behind, but there was still eighty minutes of the match left. The Whites did not need so much time to equalise. Modric drove forward with the ball and played a pinpoint pass for Pepe, attacking from behind the defenders, who found himself against Aouate. The Croat’s pass was magnificent, and Pepe’s pass beat the defence, finding Higuaín, who only had to touch the ball into the goal in the fourteenth minute

Tottenham wants to sign Gonzalo Higuain

Tottenham wants to sign Gonzalo Higuain and Real Madrid aims to address the signing of Gareth Bale, according to what the British press has been publishing in recent weeks. The interests of both clubs this summer intersect and could produce a large-scale operation. Gonzalo Higuain could lower the high claims of the 'Spurs'. Tootenham is asking Real Madrid around 70 million euros by the Welsh player.

Gonzalo Higuain

'The Guardian' takes for granted the leaving of Higuain from Real Madrid and ensures that the player himself has already communicated it to the managers of the club. The Argentine is completing his seventh season at Real Madrid, where he arrived with only 18 years. Higuain's future is not entirely clear. At the end of last season Higuain was about to leave Real Madrid, but eventually 'Pipita' decided to stay. Now, after his erratic season, his fate may be in the Premiership. And Tottenham seems it will play the Champions League next season. A positive fact for Higuain.

On the other hand, Real Madrid has shown interest in signing the Welshman, whose price can vary between 50 and 70 million euros. Gareth Bale is making a fantastic season at Tottenham and has become one of the most coveted pieces of the football market.

Another highlight is the possible signing of Radamel Falcao. Real Madrid wants a striker. Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain have decreased their good scoring numbers of the past season and Mourinho is upset. This could be the final trigger for the move of the Argentine player, who has spent three years fighting with Karim Benzema for a starting lineup place and has not managed to maintain consistency in his performance.

Gonzalo Higuain: One hundred goals in the Spanish League

Gonzalo Higuain struggle to regain his best and at Riazor Stadium received a morale boost. Not only for scoring the winning goal of the comeback against Deportivo in the 87th minute, also because with that goal he already can boast of having achieved one hundred Spanish League goals. And he needed just 179 games to do: an average of 0.55 goals per game.

Gonzalo Higuain

Higuain thus became the second youngest Real Madrid player achieving this mark in the Spanish League, at the age of 25 years and 75 days. Only Raul was earlier, signing his target hundredth the April 15, 2000 with 22 years and 293 days. Raul then scored the 0-1 at the same venue, La Romareda of Zaragoza, which had seen his debut five years and a half earlier.

Karim Benzema: A matter of weight

Karim Benzema is not the same as he was last year. The French striker seems like that irrelevant player who joined Real Madrid two years ago, in his first season at Real Madrid and the start of the second, when Mourinho talked about him like a cat. All a matter of body weight, as many suggest. Spanish media impinges on the subject, ensuring that Karim has regained the kilos lost with his weight loss plan about a year ago.

Karim Benzema

Because last season, Karim Benzema was another. French striker socred the goals with ease, occupied the free spaces as a top playmaker and reached all the balls. However, this season seems to have regained the bad habits of his first months in the capital of Spain. Although it seems a matter of attitude, the truth is that the weight of the front could have greatly influenced on his poor performance so far this season, both for his slowness and his self-esteem.

Apparently, the doctors recommended Benzema to leave his weight loss plan. The French had lost about four kilos, but could not keep this diet because it could be harmful to his health. With the freedom to eat, the overweight came, an evil that has affected his teammates Higuain and Marcelo.

And is that Real Madrid needs all its players in top form, so, although Mourinho had decreed day off for his players, several members of the squad and the coach himself gathered yesterday at Valdebebas to continue working towards the next team commitments. Real Madrid does not stop on days off and Higuain alongside Marcelo worked flat out to regain a good shape. After leaving from injuries, they have to leave the overweight.

Cristiano Ronaldo misses a strike partner

Neither cat nor dog, or anything else like it. The Real Madrid played the entire game against Manchester without a decent '9' in the field. Any resemblance between Benzema and Higuain with what was seen in the Bernabeu is purely coincidental. Without the help of a strike partner, Cristiano Ronaldo is guarded by the opposing team, so he cannot find spaces or opportunities, something that affects the Portuguese player and the whole team.

Higuain replaces Benzema last Wednesday

As in all big games the last two seasons Benzema started the clash but wandered across the lawn with the body present. His lack of intensity, his indolence in pressure the opponent and his desperate lack of character made ​​him an insignificant player in the white attack, a dead weight that appeared and disappeared as if by magic.

Benzema played 59 minutes, with the next shocking figures; a shot, a play in the rival area, a cross to the opposite area, two steals, six turnovers and an assist. Then came Higuain, who did not improve at all like his predecessor on the grass. It was the first Mourinho's change when the white team cried out for a more midfielder (Modric) to give some air to an exhausted Real Madrid.

'Pipita' Higuain demonstrated again that the European Champions League is not his thing. He moved more than Benzema, but not better. He made some interesting moves to the wings, but never generated danger or concern in the Manchester United defensive line. Higuain played 31 minutes, with these numbers; two shots (one on goal), a play in the rival area, three crosses in the opposite goal area, two losses and no recovery. Cristiano Ronaldo needs more. A little bit more.

Benzema and Higuain: Neither dog nor cat

One day the dog and the cat another day. The formula to switch Higuain and Benzema in attack was one of the great successes of the great season Real Madrid had last year. Mourinho was able to create a battle for the goal between his two forwards which proved extremely profitable for the white team.

Benzema and Higuain

Did not matter the striker who was at the starting lineup, the goal was more than assured. The two were very focused and were lethal in front of goal. The level reached was so spectacular that even Mourinho was encouraged to start with both together in the odd game. At the end of the season, the numbers said it all. Higuain and Benzema scored 26 goals and 32 respectively. They two achieved 58 many that together with those of Cristiano Ronaldo, converted to Real Madrid on a team virtually unstoppable.

'Higuain, The indestructible': The Book on 'Pipita'

Gonzalo Higuain already has his book. 'Higuain, the indestructible', edited by the publisher 'Al poste'. The author is the journalist, Ulises Sanchez-Flor, which delves into the history of the Argentine player who came to Real Madrid with 19 years old just turned and has played now six seasons in the club. Today is the starter forward of the Argentine national team alongside Leo Messi.

'Higuain, The indestructible'

It is not just a book about football. Higuain reveals his more human and personal side. It includes a chapter about a serious illness, meningitis, because as a child was about to pass away. His beginnings as a footballer at River Plate, talks with the agent (Jose Luis Calvo, the brains of the operation) who recommended the transfer to Real Madrid and that he did it in a record time of 10 days. The foreword is written by Pedja Mijatovic, the man who bet on him, and also Jorge Valdano and the legend Alfredo di Stefano make a comment about Gonzalo Higuain.

"I chose the title 'The Indestructible' to define a player who joined Real Madrid in a difficult moment. White team lived a moment of enormous institutional instability, under the presidency of Ramon Calderon, and because of the poor performance of the team managed by Fabio Capello.

It was very hard for Gonzalo Higuain. The Italian coach wanted to transfer him. Even playing for Real Madrid Castilla was an alternative but Calderon and Mijatovic opposed. And, since his arrival, has had to overcome many adversities. Every year has been questioned, has been located outside of Real Madrid. White team has signed the best strikers, Gonzalo has overcome complicated injuries as a herniated disc, and has always been able to trace.

His faith, his strenght, his hidden talent and character have given two leagues to Real Madrid. He has had great offers from English, Italian and Russian teams and he has always rejected all. They have not stopped tempting him. But in the end has been carried away by his feelings. Higuain is now one of the most beloved players in the white locker room," says the writer.

Gonzalo Higuain dressed as a tramp to combat drug

Gonzalo Higuain has wanted to collaborate in the fight against drugs in Argentina. The Real Madrid striker has been the subject of a campaign promoted by 'La Garganta Poderosa' (The Mighty Throat), a magazine written and funded by people of Argentine slums, in which the 'Pipa' dressed as a tramp wants to raise awareness against drugs and poverty.

Gonzalo Higuain (dressed like a tramp)

On the pages of this magazine also were Messi, Maradona and Tevez, among others. Higuain joined the fight against one of the deepest problems that harms young people from poorer classes in Argentina: the 'Paco'. A similar drug to 'Crack' made ​​from cocaine residue. "It works like a real criminal, kills many people. I wish we can do something to destroy this. Only this way we will save lives" said Higuain.

For the cover, the magazine chose a striking image: Higuain dressed as a tramp with two consumers of 'Paco'. And a poster: "Take me to a rehabilitation center". The Real Madrid forward emphasized this: "It seems wrong that there is no a single state rehabilitation center, serious and free, to address this problem". "With a good plan of rehabilitation, 'Paco' can be removed from our lives. And people who have that problem could do other things, much better than taking drugs, such as studying or looking for work", said Higuain in the interview with the Argentine magazine.

Higuain wins the battle against Benzema

Gonzalo Higuain has started the season in great physical shape. Neither cross the ocean alters his scoring routines. He has scored two goals in two games with Argentina, which are added to the four he achieved in the five games played with Real Madrid in official competitions.

Higuain has scored six goal this season

His average scoring is the best of a Real Madrid player, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo himself, who has five goals: one with Portugal (against Luxembourg), two in the Spanish Super Cup against Barcelona and two in the league, against Granada. 'Pipita' has scored one more goal: two for his country, one in the Spanish Super Cup, which could be two or three more and three in the Spanish league. In the Spanish Championship, is all regularity: a goal a game.

A total of six goals in seven games. Even Leo Messi (one goal more in the season) surrenders to the effectiveness of his compatriot, who has hunted Luis Suarez leading the scoring charts in South American qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil: both have six goals, two more than Messi and three above Radamel Falcao, fashionable striker. The 'Tiger' now has eight goals, six with Atletico and two with Colombia, despite not scoring in the first matchday in Spain (the match Atletico-Betis was postponed because of the European Super Cup).

At Real Madrid, Higuain's figures contrast with those of Benzema. The Frenchman, a player with a more combinative football, contributed a significant amount of goals (31) in the last campaign, in which the white team broke all scoring records. However, this course has not yet scored: no goals for Real Madrid nor for his national team. In fact, Jose Mourinho has opted more for Higuain (the Argentinian has started four games with Real Madrid while Benzema only started two) at the time of making the white starting lineup. On Saturday, against Sevilla, Gonzalo Higuain, backed by his six goals, seems to have an advantage to start again.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Higuain: Valencia is their preferred prey

Real Madrid start the season at the Santiago Bernabeu with the objective of regaining the league title that they won last season against a formidable opponent, Valencia. Two of their forwards have a favourable record against the Valencians. Cristiano Ronaldo and Higuain have managed to score ten goals between them in their last six league matches against them.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Higuain celebrate a goal

The effectiveness of the forwards has helped Real Madrid remain undefeated against Valencia CF in the last three seasons, with a record of five wins and a draw for the Whites since the Madrid strikers began to share the same changing room. Gonzalo “Pipita” Higuain, has scored six goals against Valencia in the last six matches, including a hat-trick in a 6-3 victory at the Mestalla in 2010-11. Meanwhile Cristiano has four goals in five matches.

Of these ten goals, four have been at the Bernabeu Stadium and six at Mestalla, but it is noteworthy that all the goals of the last four matches played in Madrid have come from the boots of the Argentine and the Portuguese, as in 2008-09 Gonzalo Higuain was the scorer in the 1-0 win against Valencia.

In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo and Higuain know what is to score two goals in the same game against Valencia. The Portuguese achieved two goals in the victory of Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in December 2010. And, meanwhile, the Argentinian scored two in the 2-3 away win for the Whites last year, beyond the hat-trick he scored in the 2010-2011 season.

Gonzalo Higuain will renew his contract

After completing the renewal of Albiol, Arbeloa and Di Maria in the preseason, the next will be Higuain. The white club and the player have held talks over the summer to address this issue. Mourinho is delighted with the performance of the striker and the club has agreed to improve his contract and will take place this season.

Gonzalo Higuian in Philadelphia

The Argentinian already had a first renewal with Mourinho as newcomer to the Real Madrid bench. It was agreed in advance and the Portuguese gave the go ahead. It was the July 7, 2010. He signed until June 30, 2016 and his salary is 3.8 million euros per season. Now Higuain will improve his salary (about 4.5 million euros, the same level that Ramos and Xabi Alonso) and his contract will run until 2018, as Di Maria. In all renewals of Real Madrid, Mourinho plays an active role. He boasts of having a young team and fights for his players, though negotiations are not fast. For example, Di Maria said last year he was expecting an improvement and it has taken a year to come. Negotiations with 'Pipita' are much more advanced. Higuain wanted a salary according with his top forward condition and has achieved it.

Higuain had offers this summer from the PSG, Juventus and Manchester City. The French team offered him to be the highest paid player in the workforce (more than 6 million euros net a season), but Pipita, declined these offers to continue in Madrid. The heat from the fans, the advice of his peers and a conversation with Mourinho and his father convinced him to stay.

Now the white club has to make official the improvement. Higuain came in 2007 from River Plate. In Madrid he has always had to paddle upstream and beat off competition from Ronaldo, Raul, Cassano, Van Nistelrooy, Huntelaar, Benzema... This year he will have to fight again, Benzema is ready to the duel.

Higuain and Benzema: Duel for a starting lineup place

Benzema and Higuain. Higuain and Benzema. The two Mourinho's gunmen are fighting in their particular duel for the central forward place of Real Madrid in the far west. Each white team training in Los Angeles becomes a challenge for these players, vying for a place in the starting lineup in every minute of the preseason.

Higuain and Benzema

Also in the matches, where Mourinho gave them some minutes to play. Against LA Galaxy Higuain scored and on Monday against Santos Laguna, Benzema had a great performance when he jumped to the turf in the second half.

The Frenchman was the last hitting. If the Argentinian player was showcased in the first match on American soil, Karim did in the second friendly of the U.S. tour. A repertoire of passing, shooting and controls that were the best of a stuffy match, especially by heat, although neither the game was up to par.

Benzema knows that this year can not be neglected because Higuain is fitter than ever and ready to take the site. Neither he wants to. Benzema had a hard time earning the starting place and is not going to be easy to Higuain. It will not be easy for Mourinho.

Benzema has come almost as he left. With the same weight or even with some kilograms less. Since Mourinho came to Madrid, Karim cares his diet carefully. He also has much to thank the doctors of the white team, whohas marked him some guidelines to keep in shape and with some specific exercises to prevent muscle injuries that suffered in the first two years.

And the truth is that the groin injury that so much troubles gave Benzema has passed away, like the Higuain's herniated disc problems. If 'Pipita' has had a summer without competition, Karim has come from holidays with a bad taste after the France performance at the Euro 2012 where he did not score a goal. But that has motivated him more. Benzema wants to forget these bad feelings with Real Madrid and the fact is that he is very involved in training and in matches.

Benzema believes he can improve his numbers of the last season. Also Higuain. Both want to score more goals and above all win the Champions League. Their duel can only benefit Real Madrid.

Gonzalo Higuain: "Modric is a good player"

Gonzalo Higuain gave the first press conference of the preseason. He revealed that the meeting with Mourinho and the love of the Bernabeu fans were key to stay and spoke of the coming season.

Gonzalo Higuain

How are you approaching this new year?
"This year I am able to start work at the beginning of the preseason and I am really looking forward to it. I feel strong. I hope this season is as good or even better than last year's, and that we achieve our individual and collective objectives. I am as excited as the first day I arrived here and looking forward to winning titles."

What did you feel after the rumors about your leaving?
"I am well aware of the club I am at and who I play with. I am relaxed. The shirt my teammates gave me at the end of the campaign was not a farewell gift; I asked them to sign it as a memento. The affection my teammates and the fans had for me gave me strength to stay on. I only thought about the team throughout the season. Everyone's affection after the last match was beautiful; I had never experienced something like it."

What Mourinho said to convince you to stay?
"That is our business, I will not say anything. Mourinho talked to me and the support of my family and my teammates gave me strength to stay on and be optimistic for the coming season."

After two days of training, how do you feel?
"There are few of us here now. Most will return in the next few days. This season will be tough and long, but the squad looks optimistic and ready to do well. I hope the campaign proves to be fruitful for us."

Mourinho will sit on the bench in the Super Cup matches. What do you think?
"It is always special for us to see Mourinho on our bench and I'm glad he can coach us in the Spanish Super Cup. It is a good thing for us the two matches ban was eliminated."

Barcelona was also annoyed by some things that happened last season...
"We scored 121 goals, won at Camp Nou and achieved unprecedented things. It was a spectacular season for us. We deserved the Spanish league title."

What player would you give the Golden Ball (Ballon d'Or)?
"I don't decide who wins the Ballon d'Or. Those who deserve it will win."

What do you know about Luka Modric? What do you think?
"I saw him at the European Championships and at Tottenham. He is a good player. It seems that the club is interested in him. I wish both clubs reach an agreement to close the transfer as quickly as possible if it is for the good of the team."

Benzema: "Higuain has no intention of signing for PSG"

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema is convinced that Gonzalo Higuain will continue to share the dressing room with him next season at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

Karim Benzema

International media has been talking in recent weeks about the future of Higuain. Have you been told if he will sign for PSG?
He is with the Argentinian national team and I hope he stays. Gonzalo has no intention of signing for PSG nor for any other team. Now he has finished the season, has to rest because is a very important player for us.

Tomorrow at Euro you debut against England. What are your expectations?
We face the Euro 2012 in the best possible shape. These are times of change for us. The team is fine. The goal is to reach the final and win it, that would be a dream, but first we must pass the group stage.

Much is expected of you ...
I have no pressure. Everyone waits for me, but I am part of a great team. I have confidence in myself, more than in 2008 when I arrived and was surrounded by great team players who had achieved great things.

Do you look like the star of France?
I am just a football player, the other things are what the media talks about when there is no football.

Is the game against England going to be decisive?
The target is to move to the quarterfinals. We do not put any more pressure to finish in the first position of the group. It would be a mistake. England is a good team, but I fear no one in particular. I like Gerrard. I love his approach to the game. Against England we will have to take the spaces, move the ball quickly and not fall into their game, which will be a lot of contact and struggle.

How is the environment within the French national team?
We get along very well. We will spend a month living together, so we must enjoy it.

Gonzalo Higuain does not want to listen to offers

Gonzalo Higuain has told his agents that do not transmit him any offer that can come over the summer. After having speculated on his possible departure to different European clubs (Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea among others), Argentinian player has taken the decision to stay at Real Madrid for next season.

Gonzalo Higuain is training with Argentina these days

The first team that was interested in 'Pipita' Higuain was the current champion of the Serie A, Juventus, which wants to sign the Argentinian since last season to be the star of the Italian team. Two other teams that were interested this season in the white striker are Chelsea, that in the past winter market offered 40 million euros for taking with his services, and PSG, which in recent months has been contacting his representatives to know the disposition of the Argentinian player.

Higuain, tired of all the information and rumors that have gone out in the press in recent months, has decided to make that decision to focus exclusively, first in the upcoming friendly against Brazil and then to rest during his holiday after this season, in which he has scored 22 goals and won the 100 points league with Real Madrid.

The latter club has joined the list to sign the Real Madrid player has been the Tottenham. Through a confidant of the owner of club (the millionaire Joe Lewis) Tottenham has been in contact with the Higuain's agents. They want to sign Higuain because consider him the cornerstone of the new project. Tottenham wants to classify assiduously for the Champions League and win a title in England.

Higuain: "I am excited with my future in Real Madrid"

Gonzalo Higuain gave an interview to the Spanish press moved to Argentina to track your progress with the national team. On June 2, he will play against Ecuador. Today marks two weeks of the cries of the Bernabeu fans: "Pipa, stay!" but he does not want to answer certain questions about his future because he never said he would leave the white team.

Gonzalo Higuaín

After a season with Real Madrid, what do you feel? Physical or psychological fatigue with so much pressure?
It's both. The physical, because you are constantly playing, and the psychological because it is hard. It's been a tough year in which we reached far in the Champions League and won La Liga. It was stressing, but I'm glad we won the league in the end. I'm excited about what there is in store for Real Madrid and Argentina.

In this tough year, what was the moment you were more moved?
The last match with Real Madrid really affected me. It is amazing to hear all the crowd and your teammates asking you to stay, and Sergio Ramos' words of introduction were very moving. That was one of the most beautiful moments I've had at the club in five years, if not the most beautiful. You always remember those moments. I was moved by their affection. I won a title with Real Madrid this season, which was the harvest of very hard work.

Do you feel loved in the locker room of Real Madrid?
I get along great with everyone on the squad. I spend most of my time with Di Maria. We watch River Plate and Rosario matches together. Real Madrid have a healthy squad. I love to kid around in the dressing room and make people laugh, but I also have moments of stress, like everyone else.

What was the Real Madrid shirt you wore after the conquest of the Spanish League? It was signed by your teammates of the squad.
Nothing what was said

It seemed like a farewell.
They signed it as signed the shirts of the other two leagues I won. I appreciate the affection of the squad.

You have become team captain.
I managed to see the dream of being Real Madrid's captain in some games come true for me. I was never the team captain, but I felt proud to wear the armband. It's good that there is really just one captain.

Is it a pleasure to have kept your scoring records?
I'm very happy with the number of goals I scored this season, but I could have scored more.

Real Madrid-Barcelona o River-Boca?
Games between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and those between River Plate and Boca Juniuors, are beautiful Clasicos to be a part of. It is an honour to wear Real Madrid's shirt in games as important as those.

Do you have a weakness for Di Stefano? Don Alfredo has defined you as one of the best players in the team.
I greatly admire and idolise Alfredo di Stefano. He lived it all at Real Madrid and transmits it. It is amazing. I love to listen to him. I learn from what he has to say.

How do you play in the Argentinian national team?
My national coach rightly asks of me what I am asked at Real Madrid. He wants me to play diagonally and get clear from my markers. I don't play with the same footballers, but he basically wants me to do what I do at Real Madrid.

Gonzalo Higuain: Calm after knowing he stays in Real Madrid

There are few gestures more descriptive than happiness. The wide smile. The face relaxed. The constant jokes in the middle of the relaxation times between the training exercises. So was saw Gonzalo Higuain yesterday in training with the Argentinian national team. And with that mood the striker enjoyed the first few hours after receiving the news of his stay at Real Madrid. For Pipita, the message of support he received from Mourinho came as a refreshing balm. And the cry of 80,000 fans asking him to stay in Madrid was the strongest show of support he received from that morning when he landed at Madrid-Barajas airport for first time, from his native Argentina and River Plate.

Gonzalo Higuain training in Argentina

Higuain went from "We will see" who spoke cautiously when he got there, the winter of Buenos Aires, to his undisguised satisfaction at having made ​​clear his immediate future without this has become a problem in the Spanish summer. Although several Italian media published yesterday that Juventus will send emissaries tomorrow and, moreover, there was a statement of his manager, Marotta: "We are thinking about Higuain, Van Persie and Luis Suarez". However, Higuain just thinks about a victory next Saturday, against Ecuador, on June 2 before entering the challenges that are taking form on the horizon: the return to Real Madrid after the holidays, the desire to keep winning titles in white, the illusion of reconnecting with the fans who moved him to tears by a standing ovation in the Bernabeu: "He always speaks of beautiful things in Madrid, which shows he is comfortable there" said an Argentinian soccer player off the record.

The truth is that Gonzalo shared the yesterday morning with the first players who have already arrive in their country, training under the command of Alejandro Sabella. Pipita was training together with Kun Aguero, Maxi Rodriguez, Angel Di Maria, Jose Sosa, Fernando Gago, Pablo Zabaleta, Red Mark, Ezequiel Garay and Federico Fernandez. After training, they had lunch in the bunker that has the AFA (Argentinian Football Association) in Ezeiza and he left to share the afternoon with your closest friends. So proud to be 'Madridista' that the smile did not have place on his face.

Real Madrid: Higuain is not for sale

Gonzalo Higuain at Cibeles

Higuain and his immediate future held in suspense to the Real Madrid fans, who saw signs and gestures in celebration of Cibeles which cast doubt on whether or not the Argentinian will start the preseason with Mourinho's team. Perhaps for these reasons the club has decided to position itself to prevent it from getting larger the ball over the uncertain fate that awaits 'Pipita' Higuain. From the Bernabeu stadium, members of the board send a strong message and very clear, "Higuain is not for sale. He has several years of contract and will stay here". To dispel the suspicion that this might be a strategic position to increase the value, the club insists: "If we set a transfer price, even indecent, we would be putting up for sale. No, Mourinho wants him. He can only go if someone comes with the 200 million euro of the termination clause".

The player feels loved by the fans, but not comfortable at all. He has felt as a substitute as usual from the beginning of the second round and against Bayern and Barca in the Nou Camp played just a few minutes. Higuain feels he has lost the battle with Benzema and therefore, the tempting offers that come (especially from PSG) raise questions about his departure. "If we sell him, for instance, by 50 million euros, we are going to have to spend another 50 to sign a new player who could not suit the team. Would be a mistake to let him go". In the upset of Higuain is also the low salary compared to some players who are in a hierarchy similar to him. After last year's renewal he earns 3.8 million euros and his claims would be around 5 million.

Sources from the locker room downplay the situation: "Pipita has not told us to go to leave, nor his teammates think he will leave in June. The gesture of the shirt in Cibeles was just the opposite has been said. His teammates wanted to convey affection after the informations about his departure"

Higuain's older brother, Federico, who plays as midfielder for Colón de Santa Fe in Argentina, said: "My brother Gonzalo is not going to leave Real Madrid. He is very comfortable and quiet here, where he is beloved. At this moment he is not going to go". On the relationship Gonzalo-Mourinho he said: "The press is very misleading. Not everything the papers say is true".

Real Madrid continues to break records

Real Madrid has added dizzying numbers with three games remaining of the season. With the three goals scored against Sevilla, white team has 112 goals (Spanish League) and threatens to make forget that record of 107 goals by Toshack's team (already beaten). Furthermore, adds 165 goals in all competitions, which also exceeds the 158 goals of the season 59-60, the best scoring season of the Real Madrid until now.

Critsiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Higain

Certainly, there is to lay the blame on Cristiano Ronaldo who has scored 57 goals in total and 43 only in the league. The Portuguese is shattering his own record set last year and put two goals in advantage to Messi in the fight for the top scorer. Although we must not forget Benzema and Higuain on the offensive side.

The trident formed by the the Portuguese, the French and the Argentinian, has managed 84 goals of the 112 of the team. Cristiano is the top scorer with 43 ​​goals, while Higuain has scored 21 and Benzema 20. This is the first time you can see three players on the same team in the top scorers table in the Spanish League with 20 or more goals.

Finally, if Real Madrid gets the nine points of the three matches remaining in the league, could break the record of 99 points that holds the FC Barcelona. Until now leads the table with 91 and it could be the first time in the Spanish League that a team gets a hundred points or more. A new record. Another one.
