On the stage of the playoffs of the American League, Maia Mi International lost to New York City with a score of 0-3, and at this moment, the soccer career of Argentine scorer Higuain came to an end. After the game, he crouched down and covered his face with tears, announcing his decision to retire to the world.
Higuain, 34, started out at River Plate and has played in Europe's top leagues for such giants as Real Madrid, Juventus, Napoli, AC Milan and Chelsea. Two years ago, he joined the USL's Miami Internationals, where he appeared in 67 games, scoring 27 goals and contributing 11 assists. In 75 games with the national team, he scored 31 goals, despite several setbacks in international competitions, including the World Cup, Copa America and Copa Sudamericana.
Now that the canvas of his career has been wound up, Higuain is overwhelmed with emotion: the dream is over and a new life is about to begin. Everything I loved has come to an end, they formed half of my life. 17 years of soccer, I poured all my passion into it, and now I'm moving on to a new phase of my life. I feel content and I will cherish every moment that follows, whether it is with my partner, my daughter, my family or my friends.
Regarding his plans after retirement, Higuain says he has no desire to coach, but for him, counseling work is appealing: in the game, mental state is crucial. Even with all the skills and talent, if the mental state is poor, then all the efforts will be in vain.
