Higuain is the only person I fight with, says Juve manager Sarri

TIL Desk Sports/ Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri played down claims that his coaching style is rather confrontational and revealed the only player he fights with is Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain. Higuain has now played for Sarri at three different clubs — Napoli, Chelsea and Juventus. During their first stint together in Naples, Higuain scored 36 goals in 35 Serie A games under Sarri in the 2015-16 season.

“I always read that I fight with everyone, when actually the only person I fight with is Higuain,” Sarri said during a press conference. “I don”t know why that is, but it”s always been the case. Maybe it”s because he needs a rather aggressive counterpoint to bring out the best in him.

“He needs pampering one day and beating against a wall the next! When he”s feeling down, he needs caring for. “When he”s on a high, he must be brought down a peg because he can get too carried away,” Sarri added.
