Gonzalo Higuain who is still just 31, is struggling with his form at Chelsea, and after 10-years playing for the Albiceleste, he finally retires to focus on club football. He put out this statement announcing his retirement:
“Today I arrive that day that you never think that it will arrive but that when it arrives it is very hard to do it. I just want to thank all the years that I have to be in the national team, be it technicians, physios, props, all the people who work in the ezeiza estate. We played live moments of great happiness and other harder even so in those moments always try to keep fighting to improve.
Also thank all the schools that I play in which I take beautiful memories, you also take people to whom you take affection after so many years.
Finally thank the people who were always banking and pulling forward in the good but much more in the bad that is where it is difficult to find people who really are.
Thank you very much @afaseleccion for all these years that you gave me. It was an honor to be able to wear that shirt and in everything I could do things in the best way. A hug for everyone and a lot of happiness. ??❤️?
