Davide Calabria claims that while Gonzalo Higuain is ‘having a tough time’ right now, the Milan striker is ‘our Cristiano Ronaldo’.
Higuain has scored just six Serie A goals this season and is being linked with Chelsea, but Calabria made it clear the Argentine was key to Milan’s hopes against Juventus in the Supercoppa next Wednesday.
“I played a lot in 2018 and I have to thank my Coach Gattuso for the continuity and space he’s given me,” the right-bacl told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“The Supercoppa? It’s difficult to face Juventus, but they’re not unbeatable. It was also seen in Doha two years ago: they were the favourites, but games always start at 0-0.
“I told my agent that I’d never seen a striker like Higuain. He’s very good and always done well wherever he’s played.
“Is there a problem with him? No, there isn’t. He’s having a tough time, which can happen, but he’s our Cristiano Ronaldo, given us prestige and something more to the team in general terms.
“He’s won a lot and he has so much experience. Maldini? He’s an idol. I’ve always said and thought that seeing him gives me something more, even in training.”

For all of those who are laughing at him : His point was that Higuain is just like Ronaldo who bring positivity into the team, has a good record with plenty of experience and trophies So he compared him with Ronaldo in that sense
