Gonzalo Higuain warns thinking about Tottenham Hotspur already would be “a huge error” for Juventus, with Fiorentina to come on Friday.
The striker had been going through something of a goal drought, but now has five goals in his last three games after a hat-trick against Sassuolo yesterday.
“We prepared the match to press them from the first minute,” Higuain told JTV.
Gonzalo Higuain warns thinking about Tottenham Hotspur already would be “a huge error” for Juventus, with Fiorentina to come on Friday.
The striker had been going through something of a goal drought, but now has five goals in his last three games after a hat-trick against Sassuolo yesterday.
“We prepared the match to press them from the first minute,” Higuain told JTV.
“[Coach Max] Allegri asked us to be aggressive because Sassuolo are a very technical team, but scoring four goals in the first half helped us direct the game.
“There are still a lot of games to go, but we’re on the right path.
“The Fiorentina game which is coming up on Friday is very important, we absolute cannot afford to think about the Champions League.
“It would be a huge error, concentration, ruthlessness and a sense of responsibility are key to our approach.
“There are still a lot of games to go until the head-to-head game with Napoli, so we need to face every match with the utmost concentration.
“Tottenham? We’ll prepare for that game starting from Saturday morning, in competitions like that it doesn’t change much whether you’re at home or away first.
“The important thing for Tuesday will be to try and score, not concede, then play for it in London.”
Higuain also discussed his hat-trick, and singled out Claudio Marchisio’s assist for his second in particular.
“I’d been waiting for this hat-trick, I’ve already scored a double a few times so I’m really happy to have succeeded and I hope it’s not the last one.
“I really like it when the midfielders give me balls like that beautiful one from Marchisio for my second goal.
“When you get assists like that it’s always a clear cut goalscoring chance.”
