Gonzalo Higuain
DBasia.news – Gonzalo Higuain scored his debut with Chelsea in the match against Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup. The loan player from AC Milan played since the beginning and substituted by Olivier Giroud in the second half.
Despite the goalless situation, his performance is satisfying for The Blues coaching staff. One of them is Gianfranco Zola. He stated that he won’t give too much burden on him.
“We are pleased with Gonzalo Higuain’s performance. He was trying to find the space and get on the ball. It wasn’t easy as they had a lot of players around him,” Zola said.
This week, Chelsea will visit Bournemouth home in the Premier League match. Currently, the London team are in the fourth place with 47 points, 13 points behind the current leader, Liverpool.

Collymore menilai Higuain masih menjadi satu di antara penyerang tertajam di dunia.
Chelsea memboyong Higuain dengan formula transfer peminjaman selama 18 bulan dengan opsi tebus.
Higuain dinilai dapat menjadi jawaban atas tumpulnya lini depan Chelsea. Meskipun, ia hanya mencetak lima gol di Serie A 2018-2019 bersama AC Milan.
“Gonzalo Higuain bukanlah pemain sembarangan. Dia bukan penyerang yang datang untuk main-main. Dia akan melakukan tugasnya menyarangkan bol di gawang lawan tanpa ampun,” tegas Collymore.
“Dia datang dari tempat yang sama seperti Sergio Aguero. Dari sudut pandang bisnis dan kemampuannya pada usia 31 tahun, dia masih sangat termotivasi,” tambah Collymore.
Selain itu, kedatangan Higuain ke Chelsea juga bisa mendongkrak performa pemain lainnya seperti Willian dan Eden Hazard.
“Kehadiran Higuain bisa membuat pemain-pemain seperti Willian, Pedro dan Eden Hazard sadar. Sebab, jika mereka tidak bisa menciptakan peluang untuk Higuain, akan muncul anggapan masalah Chelsea adalah pada pendukung striker,” tegas Collymore.
