Born with soccer in his blood, Gonzalo "Pipita" Higuaín is an Argentine footballer who plays for Real Madrid and Argentina's national team, and who's always at the right place when his team needs it the most.
Higuaín was born in Brest, France, during the time his father, Jorge Higuaín- a former footballer who played for some of the best clubs in Argentina (Boca, River and San Lorenzo), played for Stade Brestois 29.
At his debut club, River Plate, Higuaín started to demonstrate his abilities as a striker. Especially in the Superclásico against Boca Juniors on 2006, where he double scored. Then the offers from Europe started pouring in. Milan, Lazio, Chelsea and Manchester United were all interested in his scoring ability, but it was Real Madrid who made the best possible offer.
Real Madrid successfully signed Higuaín for €13 million, after River Plate had earlier turned down a €10 million offer for the striker from Real.
Higuaín's role in Real Madrid has been very important in the past 3 years, always being in the right time in the right place, never giving up on the team even when there's no hope. And even after the club has brought many great football stars; like Kaká, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema; Gonzalo has kept his spirit up high, taking advantage of any opportunity Pellegrini has given him.
All Madridistas have a special hope for this young striker; and as one, I hope to celebrate many Higuaín's goals to come.
