Higuain was sent off for losing his cool during Milan’s 2-0 defeat to Juve before the international break, but the Argentine asserted the Rossoneri ‘weren’t wrong to focus on me’, while endorsing Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s return.
“It’s a football match, where a win would be important for our confidence and us to take a step forward in the Europa League,” he told Sky Sport Italia ahead of his side’s Europa League match against Dudelange on Thursday.
“Being out of the picture isn’t good for me. I really want to play and help Milan meet their objectives.
“League ban? I tried to get it halved, but unfortunately going to explain what happened in the game didn’t help. They have the power to make decisions and they made their decision.
“They say I’m sick, angry and nervous, but what interests me is what I feel, the Coach and the club.
“I’m happy here and I feel good here. Zlatan Ibrahimović? He’s a great player and having players with his mentality is always a good thing.
“I was wrong, I didn’t give a nice account of myself to anyone, neither to the team, the Coach nor the club.
“It won’t happen again, but now let’s look ahead: we have a very important December ahead of us.
“Redemption? Everyone can think what they like, but I’ve been in Europe for 13 years so I’m not looking for redemption.
“I just want to show I’ve learned from my mistake against Juventus and that the club weren’t wrong to focus on me. I’ve never felt any less confidence from them.
“I want to give everything I possibly can. Injuries and mistakes against Juventus aside, I can give a lot more to Milan and I want to give a lot more.
“What do I want to give to Milan? Scoring as many goals as possible. It’s the thing I love doing most.”
