Maradona: "Higuain will not make a championship like this"

Diego Armando Maradona says his compatriot Gonzalo Higuain, top scorer with 30 goals Naples, "no longer make a championship like this" because in his opinion "gave up" .

"I think Napoli will win a lot of money with Higuain. What has made this year will not do it again. But with that money (the president, Aurelio) De Laurentiis has to make a great team, is what I ask," said Maradona in an interview to television channel "Piuenne TV".

He added: "I think the Pipita made the ultimate in Naples, it will not make a championship like this I have also seen Lavezzi have to see new faces in the field and sell Higuain for a high price..."

In the case where Higuaín, 28, finally leave Naples, Maradona said that to replace likes the English Tottenham striker Harry Kane, top scorer in the Premier League.

"It's not easy to find a potential substitute Higuain, but if I had to sign someone I would choose Tottenham striker, Kane. I do not know how much it costs but I ficharía" he said.

Finally congratulated Maradona Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri, by the league campaign, which currently holds the second position of the (First Division) Series A.

"I want to congratulate Sarri. I could not do more than what he has done. De Laurentiis has clear ideas and is concerned that the Rome hotel near the table but Sarri should follow (in Naples)," he said.

Carvajal falls at the worst time

Zinedine Zidane received bad news in the form of injury in the last training before facing the team Villarreal. Dani Carvajal and Gareth Bale were not of the game and probably will not play against the Yellow Submarine. Pepe also be low as a precaution.

Although both low are important, and although it seems otherwise, that really upsets plans Zidane is the right side. With James, Isco, Luke and Jesse, the Frenchman may cover the floor of the Welsh smoothly, to ensure you can get to the match against Manchester City. However, lack of Carvajal on the right flank is much more complicated for whites.



Carvajal has become the best pitcher of the Merengues in the last month and has established itself as one of the finest in place. His speed and strength, coupled with its brazenness up when the right have placed him as one of the key players of Real Madrid once, and Zidane knows that is irreplaceable.

Brazilian Danilo will have to cover the gap, but in recent games the former Porto has shown that lack of adaptation to Spanish football can become a double-edged sword for Real Madrid. Against Wolfsburg, as against Atletico Madrid and Betis, Danilo was a Muneo pim pam pum at the foot of his rivals, and before a Villarreal that comes with the rush of having entered the semifinals of the Champions League, it will be interesting to see as reacts the side.

So Zidane walks cautiously. You know that any slip-ups can now cost him the season, and when he has managed to soar, the French do not want to take any chances.

On the right side, at least, you will apechugar with representing downward Carvajal, in what will be, at once, the last chance to shine for Danilo.

BBC aims to Joe Hart

Zinedine Zidane could not have received better news prior to the semifinal match of the day Champions League : Your attacking trident is one hundred percent to face Manchester City .

The Real Madrid arrives at its best the game with the BBC in a great scorer moment, although with some physical problems. Bale missed the game against Villarreal and ended the match against Rayo touching the soleus. Ronaldo retired sore from hamstring against Villarreal and did not play against the de Vallecas. Meanwhile, Benzema left the field 42 minutes into the game last weekend as a precaution.

However, all three have passed medical and stress tests and are fit for the battle, with the only goal to beat Joe Hart .



Manchester City goalkeeper and England took the baton from David James , known as " Calamity James " (Calamity James), for his habit of conceding goals because of terrible mistakes. It is true that in both cases the archers have not weighed him their reputations to achieve forge great careers, but there is something that will not fit entirely when a keeper of a great club fails in more than a decade to end the sambenito to be unreliable.

Cristiano Ronaldo knows exactly what this is about. In the last match played by both teams in the 2012-2013 season, Real Madrid turned it over to a party that the City had to face twice, thanks to a goal from Ronaldo in the last minute. Firing the Portuguese had much more power than placement, as I seemed to run into the hands of Hart, but the goalkeeper --without one knew very well how-- let the ball pass through it in his arms and become the 3-2.

In addition, the three forwards have scored Hart him (Benzema in that game, Ronaldo also, in addition to many others with Manchester City and Bale while playing for Tottenham), so they know how to celebrate before the England international somewhat.

Real Madrid also knows --A Lot more after the match against Wolfsburg - the importance of scoring away from home and BBC is only focused on the goal boring Joe Hart.
