Gonzalo Higuain’s father, Jorge, declares “Napoli are not a team who have had help like Juventus”.
The Partenopei striker’s brother has previously alleged the Bianconeri get preferential treatment from referees, and the player’s manager also weighed-in.
“They love Gonzalo in Naples and I have to say he deserves it,” Jorge Higuain told Fox Sports Argentina.
“He’s been playing there for three years now, and the people see in him the legend of a Scudetto they won with another Argentinian [Diego Maradona] and which they’ve been without for so long.
“Of course, it’s a bit hard to go out or go somewhere to eat, because Neapolitans are like us, they’re full of enthusiasm and they always show it.
“Napoli are not a team who have had help like Juventus, and the players perceive that.
“Gonzalo was banned for three games because he exploded in Udine where two penalties were whistled for against the Azzurri in 10 minutes, which would never happen to Juventus.
“It’s normal that certain refereeing will annoy you and make you explode, just like happened to my son.
“The Scudetto isn’t lost mathematically yet, but I think it’s impossible to recover now.”
The Bianconeri lead by nine points, with only 12 available between now and the end of the season.
