Since 1992, 39-year-old Francesco Totti, defending the honor of the "Roma" club, criticized Gonzalo Higuain and emphasized that there is nothing sacred in modern football.
Gonzalo Higuain, who has played for "Napoli" in the last two seasons, officially strengthened Turin's "Juventus" yesterday for 90 million euros. The Italian football legend was not satisfied with the striker's decision and criticized him.
"Modern players are like wanderers - they chase money. Few players are loyal to their hearts. They decide to go to a club where they can win trophies and earn a lot of money," the legend told "La Gazzetta dello Sport" publication.
"Football has changed. Everything revolves around money. Players change teams one after another for a higher income. People go to stadiums to see their team and players. They hope not to be betrayed, but it happens today.
What happened to Gonzalo Higuain is a disaster. Apparently, foreign players consider this normal. Not everyone is Diego Maradona (defending the honor of "Napoli" from 1984 to 1991). Money is more important to them than passion for football. That's their mentality," F. Totti added.
This summer, "Juventus" also attracted F. Totti's former teammate Miralem Pjanic.
