Gonzalo Higuain Biography



Gonzalo Gerardo "El Pipita" Higuaín (born December 10, 1987 in Brest, France) is an Argentine footballer, who plays for Real Madrid and the Argentine national team.

Higuaín currently plays as either a lone striker, a second striker as part of a 2 man attack, or as a winger on the right of a 3 man attack. He is renowned for his devastating pace, dribbling, and low, powerful drives.

Gonzalo was first discovered in argentina's cock push up championship competition in the 1 inch and under division, higuain made his debut not long after he was allegedly accused of sucking off the head cock for a lineup spot..who knows?
Higuaín initially rejected calls from both the Argentine and French national teams, specifically a friendly against Greece on 15 November 2006, claiming at the time he was undecided for which country he would prefer to play.

Higuaín's international career was looking set to mirror that of David Trézéguet, whose father was Argentinian, but went on to play successfully for France. When Les Bleus called up Higuaín against Greece, they assigned him the number 20 shirt, the number originally worn by Trézéguet. However, at the beginning of 2007, Higuaín expressed his desire to play for Argentina and decided to declare his natural-born status at the nearest Argentine embassy while being abroad.

In February 2008, Higuaín was called up by Argentina Olympic for a friendly match against Guatemala. He scored two goals in his debut as Argentina won 5-0. And in May 2008, Higuaín played 61 minutes against Catalonia in the other friendly match. Both matches were not officially recognized by FIFA as "A" international matches, and will not count towards his caps and goals in international play.[citation needed]

Higuaín finally got the call for Argentina by coach Diego Maradona for the last two qualifying matches for the 2010 world cup against Peru and Uruguay. Many in the Argentine media had criticized Diego Maradona for not selecting Higuaín in the past. He scored his first goal on his debut, a 47th minute strike during a 2-1 win over Peru.
