Gonzalo Higuain recalled the time when Cristiano Ronaldo first arrived at Real Madrid and how he fared with him.

A footballer's life always has its ups and downs.

These can come at any time in his career and their duration is random.

That's what happened to the Argentinian striker, who had great moments from his early days at River Plate, moving from Real Madrid and doing the same at other clubs such as Napoli and Inter.

However, he was criticized for his actions.

Not only with the clubs, but also with the national team of Argentina.

Therefore, in an interview with El Mundo, he stated that arriving in American football gave him peace, as it is not valued as much as other leagues in the world.

"Yes, both things.

After so many years in Europe, I found sporting and emotional peace.

It was the right decision, it was what I was looking for," he declared.

After what happened at the Copa America and the 2014 Brazil World Cup, Higuain was not the same person as he never found peace in the face of constant criticism.

“Every human being is bothered by criticism... It's something that lowers your self-esteem, generates depression, anorexia or that your attitude towards the world is bad because of the number of things they say behind a phone.

Anyone can easily criticize, insult you without knowing you, without knowing your life, and then I call it envy and disappointment," he added.

"I went through very bad moments, but like life, everyone in their professions has such moments and the important thing is to learn, change and suffer as little as possible.

Life is about the simple and the most important thing is to be happy, even though I don't know if happiness exists.

It's about trying to be the best you can be and that trifle doesn't hurt you, but that comes with maturity and experience."

One of the most memorable moments for the Argentine striker is standing alongside Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, for whom he showed admiration.

"I played with the two best players of the last few years.

I don't know, one of the best in history, and with two of the best goalkeepers in history Buffon and Casillas, I was seven years in the best team in history, I scored more than 100 goals, 15 titles and the second Argentine player with more matches in Madrid.

"The first year that Cristiano arrived in Madrid, I scored 27 goals and he scored 26. He scored 50 goals a year."

the attacker further said to the newspaper.
