Maradona: 'Higuain belongs at Napoli'

Diego Armando Maradona is “doubly overjoyed” at Gonzalo Higuain joining Napoli, but blasted Carlos Tevez and Juventus.

El Pibe de Oro remains a legend in Naples with his murals depicted all over the city after winning two Scudetto titles.

“Receiving the news that Pipita is the new Napoli striker makes me doubly overjoyed,” Maradona told tuttonapoli.net.

“I am happy for the player, who has always been my pupil. I am certain he’ll give great satisfaction to my fellow Napoli fans who deserve the respect of Italian and European football for being the real example of sport and healthy values.

“Then, a real Argentine could never play in Turin.”

Maradona’s comment was referencing the fact Higuain had been extremely close to joining Juventus earlier this summer.

The Bianconeri opted to sign Tevez from Manchester City instead – who is also Argentinean.

“I hope the Neapolitans, who are always in my heart, can finally celebrate and be champions again with a team that represents them and the city in the world, just as it did during my golden years.

“Therefore I wish dear Higuain, Napoli and all my Neapolitans the very best of luck.”

Higuain and Pepe Reina arrived in Italy today for their medicals, completing a €37m move from Real Madrid and loan switch from Liverpool respectively.

lmao 3 months ago he said Higuain should go to Juve and that Juve is the best club for him should I search for that news lmao

Lmfao stupid Junkie, was a top player. Now a bitter old cocaine addict.

You guys get too defensive. Who cares. It's Maradona, he's now more known for being stupidly outspoken then he is for the footballer he was. Everything he said is just politically correct for a Napoli legend.

City of shit

You know, I've noticed this section has a tendency of using false quotes. No disrespect meant, but please try to avoid using quotes you can only find in italy... Chances are they are fake. That way you can avoid calling a great legend a "stupid junkie" and a "bitter cocaine addict" for a most likely false quote...

If this was some random out of the blue comment from your average guy then I would consider the fact that he might not have said it.

But Diego talks a load of shit, and he is/was a cocaine addict. So my point still stands

Don't care how good of a footballer somebody is/was,
