Higuain should learn from Ronaldo - Tacchinardi


Gonzalo Higuain needs to take inspiration from Cristiano Ronaldo's "inner strength", according to former Juventus player Alessio Tacchinardi. The two superstars come face-to-face on Tuesday as Real Madrid travel to Italy to face the Bianconeri in a mouth-watering Champions League quarter-final clash. Higuain was part of Argentina's humiliating 6-1 friendly defeat to Spain last week and Tacchinardi – who played for the club between 1994 and 2007 – is concerned that he does not have the same mental toughness as his Portuguese counterpart to deal with such a setback. Speaking to Omnisport, Tacchinardi said: "When you are getting closer to the World Cup, some bad performances can rock you a bit. Higuain lost 6-1 versus Spain and had to bear the media pressure from Argentina. These are the nights we live for. These are the nights to overcome #TOGETHER. pic.twitter.com/mndkY8wfA7 — JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) April 1, 2018 "My feeling is that Higuain needs more inner strength to bounce back from such a defeat than Ronaldo. "Cristiano is European Champion and he already got the monkey off his back. "Higuain hasn't and is the target of a storm. He has to be strong and prove the result is in the past."
