Aged 32, El Pipita is going to possibly be the captain of Diego Alonso's team in the next game, although that may not be a good idea.

The arrival of Gonzalo Higuaín to Inter Miami was, for sure, not how the player was spectating to be. After two games El Pipita failed a penalty, couldn't score any goals, his team in the last in the eastern conference of the MLS and the critics about his level have already smashed him.


In a very special Week 16, the Argentinian attacker may be Diego Alonso's team captain. With Luis Robles injured and some other important players off, such as Rodolfo Pizarro (call-up with Mexico), Juan Agudelo (injured), Leandro González Pirez (yellow card accumulation) and Andres Reyes (injured), El Pipita is set to be the most emblematic player against New York RB at Wednesday night.


But thinking about Higuain as a captain may not be a good idea for his team. Even though he has a lot of experience, gained after several years playing for Real Madrid, Napoli and Juventus, he had always been a very moody player, who rarely control his anger and usually confronts with rival players.
